what is the first part i should upgrade on my radcat shockwave?

For a car like that, I would say the radio system. Get a new transmitter, and receiver, and servos. I've had cheaper brand cars like that before as well, and the car its self is decent, not great, but to save cash they often use no name electronics which often don't work well, and can be unreliable. Something like this maybe? http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...I=LXEDP1**&P=7 Comes with a transmitter and receiver, a standard servo, and one high torque one. I'm thinking you would want the high torque in the steering, but its your choice.

I am looking for an electric rc that is comparable to a gas powered. I am debating between an E-firestorm Flux and a Traxxas E-Revo. I'm not sure which is going to be a better bang for my buck. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Also if I choose the e revo how much would it cost to completely convert to a brushless system and would I have to get two brushless motors in this case. Thanks for the help.

Garrettt, try looking at the redcat section here on RCU, youll find a lot more specific topics there.
How long have you had your shockwave ?
And welcome to the forums!

You may find specific topics but discussion of pros and cons is prohibited basically.
