Not sure if this thing is worth throwing a lot of money at for upgrades - that kind of defeats the purpose of it. But if you want, it can be done. Once my daughter gets a little more experience I may throw in a 15T motor or possibly repurpose my Titan 12T/XL5 setup in it.
Bottom line is that I don't think you can do better for a 1/10 truck at this price.
Not the best radio, not the best tires, but it's so much more than the hater reviews make it out to be. In any case, it's NOT MEANT TO BE A $500 TRUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wouldn't campaign it for any sort of racing, but for simply having fun, it can't be beat!
