Default Brandon's T4.1 Racer

Alright so i got a T4.1 rtr for christmas. there are many upgrades i would like to go through and would like you guys to leave your opinions.

Upgrades-Setup
-Castle Creations Mamba Max Pro ESC
-Specktrum S6040 Surface Servo. .08 Transit time, 167 oz-in torque. (crazy fast servo)
-Stock Reedy 3300KV sensorless motor
-Hyperion 2S/7.4V 25C 5000 mAh battery pack
-Losi Slider Tires
-Integy Aluminum Steering Bellcrank
-RPM Bumper
-Stock Team Assocated Radio

Here is my stetup and please leave comments.
I plan on upgrading my radio to a specktrum radio and a new motor to 13.5 novak ballistic or a 13.5 tekin redline.
This is my first racing car. the only other RC i have is a T-Maxx 3.3 basher.
I have raced 3 times up to date. My very first race was on clay and ended up getting 4th place out of 9 drivers. I was the only one who didn't bust anything
If you are wondering why I upgraded to an aluminum bellcrank was i broke the other plastic ones about 4 times and didn't want to take it all apart again.

Please leave comments!!! I should post pictures later. THANK YOU!!!!!

Spektrum radios are good. Either of those motors are fine. Speed Passion is a good one too. I wouldn't put the aluminum bellcrank on it ...just stop hitting stuff so hard.
You'll get more responses in the thread for b4.1 and t4.1. Ask your other questions there

If you bent the aluminum one then you would have broke the plastic one.

If you are going to be doing more racing, i suggest a sensored ESC/Motor setup.

When i changed over i felt like i had a way more direct feel with the vehicle. Much punchier also.

You first list is what you have already yes? I believe the MMP runs sensored mode too? I dont have one so im not 100%. If thats the case upgrading the motor to the ballistic or the redline (with a sensor cable attached ) Will feel so much better on the throttle.

yes this is what i currently have.
hat would be the main point i would get a new motor specifically for the reason of a sensor wire. the mmp does run sensored or sensorless.
thanx for comment.
