You can use LC Racing parts for some things they have 4 different US based distributors so no having to wait on the slow boat.
https://riptiderc.com/
https://casterracingmi.com/
https://www.lcracing.us/
https://www.nitrorcx.com/25cparts.html

The following parts are a direct swap from the LC Racing series of vehicles.
  • A arms.
  • Front C hubs.
  • Front axle carriers, you will need 2 4x8x3mm bearings per side to replace the tiny stock bearings that come with the WL Toys.
  • Rear axle carriers, again you will need 2 4x8x3mm bearings per side.
  • Toe and Camber links.
  • Motor mount - the LC Racing motor mount is adjustable but will only fit 390 sized motors.
  • Drive shafts.
  • Sway bar kit.
  • Shocks. For some reason the WL Toys uses the same shocks f/r the LC Racing uses 2 different sized shocks f/r.
  • Wheel hexes.
  • Wheels.
  • Wing.
  • Wing mount.
  • Body.
  • Screw kit - this one I have not checked all of the screws but so far I have been able to replace a lot of them with the LC Racing screws. Hex is always better than Phillips.
  • Battery strap - the LC Racing one is longer.
  • Steering Bellcrank
  • Bumpers.

I highly recommend this https://www.etsy.com/listing/820849...om-drag-link-laser-cut?ref=shop_home_active_6 the stock one has soooo much slop in it.

This guy has some excellent how toos for those cars. https://www.quadifyrc.com/rccarrevi...L4GAPJNpRPZBBbjpXLyFuLKA8li9tujIzjdRyXGkoOm1I

Have fun. I love my minis.

Definitely a fun little buggy! @slick2500 beat me to it was going to tag him and @Jimbobjr as they have quite a bit of knowledge with the buggy as well and both helped me out with the brushless conversion and with parts links also?
 
I do recommend swapping out as much as you can to the LC Racing parts, they are better and well worth it.
Do not go crazy with the "upgrade" parts, 99% of it is just bling and they do not even work or fit.
 
Awsome thank you guys,shopping time???
any advice on a (smallest) 3s esc that'll fit under shell the best

The smallest that I can think of off the top of my head is the Hobbywing 10BL60 sensored esc. I did have to unsolder the wires from the esc and put them at a 90* angle instead of straight up and down and I removed the fan https://www.hobbywingdirect.com/products/quicrun-10-sensored?variant=710246737 There is a little more room under the body on the 1440001 compared to the LC Racing cab forward body. The cab forward body won't fit the 144001 without raising the body posts.

Cool I'm a big fan of quicruns.lots of programming options.lookin at a 5900kv motor.
Nice, if you go the 10BL60 route you could go sensored for a smoother ride if you wanted.

Just the sensored versions. Just smoother startup is all really.
 
You have to put the link in the spot in your user profile. I can't remember where it is off the top of my head.
