First upgrade is ball bearings. If you are talking about the rtr which I think you are, then you really need ball bearings because the stock bushings rob you of power and battery charge. Then I would get a nimh battery because they will give you more power and they are recharable.

The best upgrade is to buy the RC18T! Just kidding. Buy oil shocks,bearings and a 1100 6 cell battery and you'll have a blast.

They go prety fast it's fast enough to be out of control and brake stuff. you should stock up on shock towers and suspinsion arms. I buy them at Stormmer hobies.

If you are low on cash and want a new motor....just buy the 370 size RC18T stock motor for like 12.00 or whatever it is. Its pretty quick. Especially compared to the 280 motors in the mini-T and the 280 RTR RC18T. I do agree though...get the ball bearing!
