Get a new motor and esc. And make sure you have enough batteries.

acutally i heard the esc coming with the tamiya kits now days is pretty sweet, all you might wanna get is the reedy quad motor along with the bearings and tires,

its gonna bottom out no matter what, the shocks are too smal, plus they are just dampers, if you could find some buggy shocks to fit all the way around it would be a nice lift kit and would handle way better

well i have been looking at the fg for a long time now ever since i was in the hobbie about 1year and a half.
allot of people that i bash with have fgs so i can bash with them. my dad says if im gunna use my muney i should go for a fg.
he says this actually and my mom because they got my bro and sis something so now they will help me out with most of the price but i will have to put more than that volkswagon muney. and my dad and mom say it hase a nice sound and hase a bad ***** motor in it.

Looks cool. I would get the Tamiya. Less money and less maintenance. And you can get hopups with the money left over.
