I guess it all depends on what upgrades you're looking for. There are plenty of motor and ESC combos you could put in it. I believe FastEddyBearings has a bearing kit available (this I recommend for any new RC). Batteries are readily available as well.

That's because it isn't designed to have a powerful motor and battery run in it. Just look at how much plastic is in the drivetrain. You can do some modifications to the diff input gear to help prevent breakage. There is a thread on the forum on how to do it.
With that said, the easiest way to have a powerful Senton is to buy the 6S version

I just bought a 2wd slash in which I am making it 6s so there is no need for a 6s senton. LolThat's because it isn't designed to have a powerful motor and battery run in it.

I am big ARRMA fan but for those who are buying the Senton Mega 4x4 and converting it to brushless it can not only get expensive but it also is pushing the stock components to the limit. I feel you would be better of buying something like the Redcat Caldera SC 10E which comes brushless out the box for $249.99. Don't get me wrong the Senton Mega 4x4 is nice truck but it's designed for a brushed motor. Hopefully, they will offer a brushless version in the future with upgraded drive line components.
Best regards,

I bought this sc truck hoping that I can make it brushless but unfortunately I cant.
It mostly needs a stronger diff pinion gear to be run brushless on 2S. Fortunately Arrma is supposed to be releasing one in mid May
You can make the Mega 4x4 trucks brushless, you just can't put huge power in them. (same answer for the Slash 2wd, BTW). If you want a huge power, 6s, fire breathing monster, you bought the wrong truck. Any of the 6s BLX trucks would serve, though.

You will run into a world of hurt trying to make a 2WD Slash 6S. I tried it. $700 later, I ended up with a pile of parts. The gearbox will grenade. The idler gear is a tiny thing that will break teeth & wreck the other 2 gears. The Senton 6S is unparalleled in the SC market. Nothing can take the abuse it can with the power it has. OoB it can do 50mph on 6S. 75mph+ with a pinion change. I made a spool for mine that allow it to hit 97mph on the stock motor, stock body, lowered with GRP tires. Making the spool & the GRP tires costed less than one set of MIP driveshafts.

A semi-stock Slash w/MIPs can run 4S. 6S is a whole other story.
