Slower is FASTER. If you can get around the track with out wrecking you'll be in good shape. Find a good speedyou can make a lap with out wrecking then after a couple of good laps try to speed up a little at a time.
The most commin mistake made by rookie's is trying to go faster than they can drive. Untill you can get around the track with out wrecking you wont be winning any races. Rember it just takes time and LOTS of practice.
Good luck

I wouldn't do any mods until it needs it. If you break some thing step it up from there.
And don't be to eager to win. Enjoy racing 1st and winning will come in time.
You will find a need for speed if your like most of us.
So go fast and try not to crash!
Its more fun.

Keep the motor clean, here is a guide on how the motor is made up http://www.rccartips.com/rc-electric...ning-guide.htm
The commutator and brushes are the most important parts to keep clean. Make note of how the spacers are on the armature, which spring is on which post and always put the brushes back in the endbell how they came out.
If you keep the motor clean it will prolong the life of it, but eventually you will need to get the commutator re-cut.
