The upgrade possibilities are endless really.
I would start with just the simple things.
Like a new air intake
You got a sweet collection of wheels, so maybe change those out.
If you still have that S/S motor drop that boy in there
Can’t think of anything else ??

Could always just keep it stock and have fun beating the crap out of it. Sometimes its more fun to have something cheap you can really abuse without crying. Send that baby to the moon.?

Although I agree. I don't mind beating it up. It likely won't get a rcmax. I'm looking hard at one of these barts. Getting dual servos ordered, and likely and engine with small mods like skids and stuff for now

Bart engines are sick but I don't see why they are so expensive. Way more expensive than obr and such ?

Bart does hand port all of his engines, 1 by 1. Obr mass produces many with the exception of their high end signatures. The bart is also anodized which adds to the cost as well. They are only about $80 more than a signature series obr. I'll take a bart over an Obr all day. Not knocking obr in any way, as I have ran many of their engines. But chris at bartolone puts more time in his engines.

His stuff does look really nice. Even the Brovan in Botajells new vid seems super fast.

Hate to say it, but the Brovan 45 seemed significantly faster. This thing is running out of gear in 2 seconds.

That BR40 will blow a rovan 45 out of the water. He is just lacking gear their. Guarentee it can go up 4 teeth sizes judging by that video
