Default need help or thoughts?

hey guys! well i just purchased my first RC. got a used traxxas stampede VXL 4x4. it has already had some stuff upgraded on it-

Mamba Max Pro SCT esc
3800kv brushless Castle motor
motor heat sink w/fan
aluminum motor mount
clear plastic spur cover
Pro Line shocks
sway bars
CVD's
titanium tie rods
RPM A arms
aluminum wheeliie wheels
Pro Line Trenchers on Traxxas black chrome wheels
and has a Thunder Power 2s 5300 65C battery.

i was told it still has stock gearing.

few questions on this....

what are your thoughts on this so far?

would it be ok on the motor and stock gearing to run 3s lipo's with this?

what gear parts can i upgrade to get more speed with out taking the chance on over heating the motor to withstand running 3s lipo's? what are the part numbers/links? and where is a good place to get some bodies?

one more thing....what is a setup like this worth used?

thanks for your help guys, sorry for all the questions but its the only way imma learn lol!

You just bought it used and want to know what's it worth?

The facts are you could over heat the motor all stock, all depends on you and your trigger finger. Smaller spur or larger pinion for more speed. Amain sells these types of articles.

Lol not trying to "feel" on a sell. Just new to this whole RCA world and jumped on this one. Just trying to see if I got a good deal or over paid on it is all.

Sure.
