Thanks guys! I feel like brushed is how I want to keep it. Why are the threaded axles such a good upgrade? How about shocks and stuff? I'm figuring not really necessary on such a small truck, but figured I'd ask.

I believe I've read before there's a ball bearing brushed motor that's available for it that ups the speed a bit, am I wrong in that? If so is there one available that works with the stock esc, and does it need to be rebuilt ever-so-often? I'm not too crazy on replacing brushes and working on coms and stuff on brushed motors. I feel like 20 mph would be more than enough on a micro t, and probably a tad too much :)

I'm definitely not gonna consider any aluminum parts, I don't really run aluminum on anything. Costs a lot, is heavier than plastic or rpm, and bends. Just don't like it.

How do you use the lipos from hobbycity if the stock esc does not have an lvc built in? I would love to add one of the 3 dollar batteries next time I order lipos for my merv or stampede, but it would be pointless without some sort of lvc wouldn't it?
