I've had my RC18MT for a few months now. Great little car, But i want a little more speed and run time. i know brushless and lipo would do both of those for me, But i dont want to put that kind of money into it. So i was woundering what the best brushed motor i can get thats plug and play. I also want to get a few new batteries. was looking at the duratrax 1600 mAh pack for 17$ea. Is there a battery thats just as good as that for less? or one thats better and a little more?

I would also like to upgrade the suspension. I only run it off road, mostly thick gravel. It bounces around to much for my liking. Is there a shock & sping set that well help soak up some of the bouncing? I do jump it, so i dont want it to soft.
