Hey Guys (Im a noobie)

[Sweet William]

I'm new to the Emax also, but I'm not looking to spend that kind of cash right now. I will upgrade as I break stuff. I have been reading this and a couple of other forums for ideas and answers. This forum seems to have solid info instead of a opinions and arguments about real performance.
Now to my question. For an upgrade in performance over stock is brushless the way to go? Is there much I can do with the stock motors/batteries? I'm not looking for 50mph, just some more power/speed for bashing around. I'm also not looking to spend what the truck cost. If I stay into the truck then I'm sure more power will be in my future. I have a Tmax also and love the speed of that, but the electric is much less of a generel pain to play with.
Thanks for any input, Will
