Not sure if you already bought it or not but if you did I feel sorry for you.
Hope you did not pay too much for it.
From the pics I can say this is a very entry level car meaning that it for beginner. Also the remote for the car is not a very good one. The msonik 2 rv is a speed control with reverse capability and that is not a cery good one either.
Over all I give it :thumbsdow :thumbsdow

how much did you pay for it. That car should not cost more then 100 dollars.
Yes you can upgrade etc but by the time you do that you would have already bought yourself a new rtr tamiya which cost 400 bucks.
This hobby is not cheap and that is why you need to ask before you buy. See too many people jumping into the hobby just because is cool and not think about it.
If you bought it because it came with a carbon chassis well a lot of the high end electric are carbon down side is that it is too brittle one crash and it will crumble.

well then i will make a suggestion to you.
Save all the money you plan to upgrade the car. Trust me is not worth it.
Pratice the car and get some skills. bang it up who cares forget about upgrading the motor and esc. There will always be better ones later on.
Once you have safed up the money get yourself a nicer car and new remote. If it is for car get a pistol style remote instead of the stick control.
That's all I can suggest right now until you get a better car.
Even if it is 100 dollar car you could have gone on ebay and bought yourself a nicer car for that amount of money.
oh well learn from your mistake.

I think you have a pretty good car, go to your parking lot and practice with it until you get really good, then you can buy a stronger motor in a few months and enter some races and have fun!! It doesn't matter what car you drive!
I give it :bigthumb:
