Hey guys, i am sort of new to the hobby of customizing RC vehicles.. Sorry if my thread annoys you and please dont flame me out.. As a first vehicle..i used the search on these forums to find out what would be a good starter vehicle...So i going to get myself a Tamiya Blitzer (I sohuld get it next week)..It is full stock. I don't know what to upgrade or what would be compatible...But my first upgrade are the ball bearing set. So basically what i want to know is what should i do to get my truck more powerful..? I am more of into the the offroad..I got some snow around here at this time and i want to mess around with it..I alrdy have experience with Nikko n Tyco RC vehicle but then i know their nothing when compared to this..Thanks guys.

welcome!...im a newbie myself.....but from what i know....if you want more power than you need a better motor....but it depends on how powerfull you want it to be....i hear the reedy quad mag 19T is great!

RE: NEwbie
ballbearings are a must. the second 'must' is a good charger. the duratrax digital piranha has everything an average basher wants and costs 50$. third: GOOD packs! IB3600/3800 or GP3300/3700. then go for a good esc with 15 or 12turn limit. even if the stock truck has an esc, it will be pretty junky [only for 27-23t motors]. after the esc, what you need is a good motor. trinity chameleon2, reedy quad magnet, tamiya 350rz, even a towerhobbies speedstocker will do fine towards the stock mabuchi rs540sh.

RE: NEwbie
This is a list of items in the priority that I would go with.
1. Good batteries(gp3300, 3700, IB3800)
2. Nice charger( piranha$50, or if you want to get a good charger, the super brain 969 used $50-$70)
3. Better esc(novak xrs 15 turn limit $45, duratrax 12 turn esc$60.
4. Motor( p2k, chameleon, quad mag, monster)
5. oil shocks
