A Mamba will be a LOT of power, so if you're still shaky with the current setup it might be wise to get some more practice first. If you do go brushless, a popular setup is the Mamba 25 ESC and, for a slightly more controllable experience, the 5400 or MAYBE 6800 motor.

Wait a while and have fun first. Your car will be faster with a brushless, but you won't have as much fun if you're breaking stuff.

ive broken parts with a stock motor but thats because i had bald rubber tires and when i punched it it kinda slid while i was turning so i ran into the back of a car i broke the shock tower but o cant figure out the other part its a XXX-s and the part where the shock tower is screwed in at its broken( kinda like the belt housing but not sure) can u guys help with that. but anyways i would stay away from brushless for awhile find your groove
