I was wondering if it is possable to upgrade the motor in this car? It looks awesome, and the working head/tailights are cool too, just wish was faster.

I didn't tried to change the motor. But when it's fully charged, the speed is enough for me, Only one drawback is ground clearance is very less

Upgrading the battery and tail rotor is huge some weight in the nose helps. If you fly it often then you will want to put in a little bigger tail motor wl 913/f 45 are good choices.

Hey Tim, The upgrade is about $60. I'd suggest trying the trike as is for now, that's a very easy thing to upgrade if you feel you need it in the future.

not from the factory, no. There are mods available that are easy to instal, or you can have one put in. It will not affect any of the performance.

Why would you want to paint it? It's so sharp looking as is. If you painted it it probably would eventually chip or peel and look awful. I have a blk CX-5 and it makes the. Rear end classy looking.

I love my, I got it last week and it makes such a difference !!! I am running on the 1st setting and it is amazing how it performs !!! It is smoother and shifts great !!! I can see that if you run the other settings it might hurt the transmission but on this setting it is no problem !!!

Agree with the other comments, stay with the battery you have, get extra if needed.Used 2C LiPo for a short moment but that simply meant replacing the motor often. Ended up upgrading the motor to brushless and now using LiPos Makes it a fun, fast, little car.Based on my experience now it would have been much better buying a brushless version from the beginning.

Yes. The motors aren't very good and last a few days. I called Traxxas and they sent me upgraded motors. Love this Alias.

Mines been completely perfect! I just run it stock and change my tire size and gear ratio and I get better mpg than any of the tunes, just don't try to put 1000 hp in the engine and you'll be fine.

I have an '06 LJ with a 6 speed manual and 8" lift. I noticed a definite increase in power-maybe 10%. Gas mileage unfortunately stayed the same, even after exhaust and air intake tweaking.

Put An Aftermarket Intake, Exhaust, And A Performance Chip On And That Will Be Crazy! Or You Could Either Supercharge Or Twin Turbo It.

Good morning, The motor comes in two parts, the motor itself and the top portion that is removable. I purchased them seperately and that was a mistake. The item works fine and is easy to install. i strongly suggest that you purchase the entire motor assembly, you should have no problems upon new installation. The dealership wanted $300 bucks WOW !!!!!

I would very much recommend a bigger motor. If you are on a budget, I'd recommend a used one with a bigger motor.

Unfortunately it's not the buy of the century. It is exactly what it is. A cheap rc car. Is it an exceptional value for the money? Absolutely! But if you are looking for serious performance, not the car or the price tag for you. Take care and enjoy. Would I buy again? Yes!

Supposedly it improves horsepower. What car are you planning on putting this into? If you do not have any other engine upgrades I doubt that it will make a noticeable difference.
