After much deliberation with myself, I decided as my first RC car that I'd get the brawler, 1. I liked the look of it, 2. it came RTR with all the radio gear and 3. it was cheap lol. I did come across a problem when I took it through a 'hidden' puddle and the damned thing went hay-wire :$. Anyway, as this is my first car, I was wondering if anyone had any tips or advice on any cheap upgrades I can do to make it a little tougher / durable. I really don't want to spend too much cash on it as I see it as a starter car, and would like to keep my cash for when I get a new one lol.
