Running 3s shouldn't be a problem. If needed you could vent them. Check out my build thread. My senton has had a long journey. LMAO
Hey so idk about buying new rc cars yet, it's a little early and if I did get a better extra car, my parents would force me to move out now so... what are some other upgrade I could do?
I know I could get aluminum shocks and maybe throw in a better system for like 6s
But do you have any suggestions?

No, I was just telling you I have done ALOT to my Senton. wasn't telling you to buy 1 LMAO. If you don't mind me asking, how old are you? I am 13 and my parents aren't a big fan of this.... ZD Racing Aluminum shocks from eBay and you're golden!

I wasn't saying you want me to buy one, I was just saying my parents would kill me If i were to buy any new one. I'm 15, lol your 13 and have that build. Idk I'm getting into brushless bash rc. Where the heck do you get money from?
 
Nice! MX28's and a REALLY small amount of aluminum/metal parts and you're good!
Looks really solid that's my next

One of my first runs I did a flip over the curb and bashed the rear of the shell in so I got a new one and made sure it wouldn't break.
 
Alright, my car is back up and running. I threw in the aluminum servo saver and arm with a 20kg servo. I set the calibration for steering and throttle. It's back baby.

I reinforced the shell like crazy and oof
Plus I bent a shell pin
??‍♂️ either it's the car or my driving skills (probably my driving skills)
 
I did land a few doubles and nailed backflips. Front flips are still iffy.
I may have accidentally rammed it full throttle on 2s into a concrete wall, the wall had a front bit that was rocky concrete, and the car took a chunk the size of itself out of the wall. The car is fine though.

Ok so... I'm in the process of making an exo frame for the shell. I'm gonna 3d print some custom pieces and use 2 part epoxy to reinforce the broken spots.
 
Sounds good to me but then I'm kinda a newbie so don't quote me on that
