Default RC18FT

Hi, I just bought a AE RC18FT. Could someone please get me some setup tip for carpet racing. I would also like some advice on a brushless setup. I was looking at the Novak Mini Mongoose or the Dynamite System.

What upgrades are avialible to make it competative.

The biggest thing I can suggest, is to try and make the car a lot more heavy, by adding weight to it in any format (alloy bulkheads), heavy cells, and a slow slow motor. The mongoose would be very overpowered IMO, as I have the 13.5t in my Blaze, and that is more than enough tbh. The blaze is a lot more heavy as well.
