How would you upgrade this ZX5
Hello Everyone,
I bought this ZX5 3 weeks ago I have added some parts but I need your expert advice on how to improve the performance of this buggy.
Basically I want it to go faster and have a quick response, its likely that I'm gonna drive roughly through mud, dirt in addition to concrete.
A couple of days back I drove smack into the wall at top speed (enclosed area) and busted the mount on the actual servo. So the turning is totally messed up. I guess this means I have to get a new servo.
Anyway, So far I have added:
Carbon Composite chasis and upper plate
Aluminium holders for the suspension
Aluminium Motor Housing
New Tires
I plan to add (this weekend)
New battery - Lipo - I gotta read up on this coz I dont know anything.
new servo
New wing
Carbon composite front and rear shock stay (maybe)
Any advice will be appreciated,
Thanks

i had a zx-5 readyset version but i upgraded the diff, metal universals, carbon fiber deck and shock towers.... you might want to think of trading it for something else for a basher. i am not kidding you when i say this. i never got to run a full battery pack in my lazer. something broke EVERY time i played with it. i had the traxxas brushless system in it.
