RE: OverHaul
What class will you be racing? Try a nice stock motor like the Trinity Monster Horsepower or the Reedy MVP. Whats the track you are running on like?

RE: OverHaul
setup are always based on the track layout, condition and ur driving style. i would recomend u to get the xxx main setup guide. its the best at the moment.
as for more speed. try and reduce as much binding and friction in the drivetrain as the ta04 have quite a tight trainnies. u'll gain at least 15% more power from this. then there is the gearing. as the motor u descript sound like a "silver can" motor, run the brush in and geared it aggresively.
low end motor like the silver can tend to roll when u let go of the throttle. work with this and u can out corner anyone using the same motor.
