[kogkog_bugart]

hello everybody! Im new here so please be nice..


I bought my son a LIGHTNING EPX DRIFT and i hear having a Lipo battery need a brushless motor for longer play time.. If this true which budget brushless motor and lipo battery is good for lightning epx drift? and some advise on what to upgrade on the car... right now its all stock are installed and plus the shell has lots of cracks... where could i buy and what kind of custom painted shell should i get?

you don't really need anything for it, you can use it as is but generally a brushless motor and lipo give more power and more speed.

I haven't really been in the hobby to long so I cant recommend a motor or lipo, I know more about the 1:5 scale gasers then electric.
