It's the same model all my friends have. One guy has a crawling track in his backyard, he's been adding to on and off, for over three years!

Needless to say, it's pretty bad azz.

I've got several crawlers. Don't know anything about Traxxas crawlers. Never even seen that.
Don't "upgrade" til something breaks.
Assuming this is for cralwing and not speeding around, dropping the pinion size to give more torque and slow speed control would be the first item I would do.

Get the brass suspension links and diff covers. Also the weighted wheels. It makes the truck way better when crawling. I have the same crawler. My niece's husband is into this stuff and told me what stuff to get. I piled some rocks and other stuff in a corner of my yard so I have a little crawler area.

This is where I got most of the parts:

My kid races r/c 1/8th scale electric and nitro and that is more in my wheelhouse of knowledge. Spend way too much money and lots of travel.

Super fun. Kids and I have some, and made a trail through the creek on my property. Every year when the floods come, the trail changes and we rebuild it. Good times.

Crawlers are rad, cool camp toy Joe!
