I am currently owning a modelart sandstorm 1:16 electric off-road truggy. I am looking for anyone who is having this rc car and has upgraded it. I want to know what upgrades u guys have made and where have you found those parts. To the other rc experts out there, if you have any idea about this car then please suggest some upgrades. It has one brushed 25000 rpm motor with 800mAh 15C battery and a built in esc-receiver 20A unit. ;D
Replacing the powersystem with a nice brushless setup can be an effective performance enhancement. But since yours has Rx+ESC as a combined unit, you may need a new radio too if you're switching to a brushless ESC.
Can u just guide me by some links or suggestion where I could get that, would be a great help.!
Did you replace the stock with a brushless setup if yes please guide.
Can you paste photo of the internals? Lot of these mass market cars are not upgradeable.

Here are the internalls, they are upgradeable bcoz I have seen many them doing it
The specs are as mentioned above
Ok the first thing is to upgrade is the battery. Get a 2000 mah plus. Next can be the servo to give you better control. Motor and Esc have to be done together and that may cost a bit.
Any Lipo Battery will work..just check the connector or plan to change the connector.
You mean any 2 cell 7.4v lipo should work? what capacity? has anyone done this and noticed gain in performance?
Yep, I got this battery, 1300mah, lipo 7.4v it works great and a little moor Better pick up
Hi ..Performance may not improve since you have to select the same voltage battery as current but you will get more run time.
Thanks for the info guys my guess is there will be a marginal improvement in performance as the higher C rating from a Lipo may aid to better pick up.
May i know from where can i get a modelart sandstorm truggy and what will be its cost?
