Do wheelies? When it's in full power, it's hard to keep the front wheels on the ground!
Going up in voltage to a 11.1v lipo will give you significantly more power, but could do so at the cost of the motor. Brushed motors really don't take well to 3 cell packs for very long, but that's not to say you can't do it. Just know that the life span of the motors will be reduced significantly. It's worth a try to put a 2S in it to see how it works first. Like I said in my post above, wattage is the main thing, seeing that watts=amps x volts, if you can get the amps higher with a lipo than you do with the stock NiMH, which it most likely will, even though voltage is lower, the watts could be the same or higher.
I'm glad my endless ramblings here have gotten you back interested in your "son's" truck!
Many here would call me an instigator, a pusher even! Ha, I don't create addictions, I just help promote them!
