You will need to get used to how much power it has , With after market tires they have lots of grip, If you punch from a dead stop she will flip over !
Have fun !

Hey belial, yep the card is really nice. So far i dont go max setting, i want to preserve the gears as much as i can. For the tires i use these http://www.cafr.ebay.ca/itm/400971530484?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

I prefer the old ones i used before ones tough: http://www.cafr.ebay.ca/itm/110-off-road-tyre-frontrear-tires-wheel-rim-2502627011-hsp-hpi-rc-buggy-car/400969611632?hash=item5d5ba6b970&clk_rvr_id=934604281234&rmvSB=true

These kind of tires are cheap and dont grip a lots, i get eaxclty what i want since i mostly bash on road with a little peebles.

Ok now here the result of my upgrade.

First here the 12mm hex mod i did for the front wheels (Courtesy of fullmetalsam.alliancei, Thanks for the info!)

The process is describe on this thread by Fullmetalsam: http://litehawk.yuku.com/topic/3194/Modding-Upgrading-my-Gobi-done-and-done#.VlDg5nYveUk

Ok for the brushless update, everything i bought work fine.

I installed the servo coloum post (2 holes) and sand them a little at the top.

I had to enlarge the hole of my motor pinion gear 14T from 2mm to 3.127mm to fit in the brushless motor shaft. Nothing fency there, i used a 1/8 drill bit and drilling at low speed.

The other parts where easy to install without mods. Here the results
