upgrades for vendetta

i have some ideas to update my vendetta. i want to upgrade to a brushless setup with a lithium battery, and upgrade the front suspension to the st's suspension. my problem lies in upgrading to the lithium battery means i need a new charger(which begs the question which charger), esc, and motor. now i have done every upgrade that can be done with this buggy and it has become my favorite r/c car, but would it be worth it to upgrade all this seeing as other manufactures have buggies with this system already installed?

i see what you mean about the suspension upgrade i guess i am behind the curve but my detta has all the aluminum upgrades i could buy for it, so i want it in aluminum so i think im going to buy that upgrade and the upper and lower control arms in aluminum i just saw them in tower hobbies. just wondering does it make a huge difference the new suspension, because i have had a problem with the ball joint of the lower control arm falling out of the ball joint.

as for the brushless system i have not set a budget(i like that novak system), but what i was wondering is if it is worth the price of the upgrade vs. gettting like an e-revo vxl 1/16 scale. mind you i would need a new charging system which i have been looking at the duratrax itellipeak ice charger.

thats true but the aluminum parts are cooler looking than the plastic and i have noticed the buggy handling better, its probably because its stiffer, but i digress, what i want i just found on tower hobbies. now this thing will be the ultimate. btw this it my buggy. i know that all the aluminum parts are overkill but i bought the aluminum wing mount and i just went crazy from there. that is why i want to keep that theme going. i know its kinda childish but i really like the aluminum parts in fact i was really close to buying a bunch of aluminum parts for my kyosho 1/8 scale motorcycle but in the end i kept it stock. w/e thanks for the info i really like that novak system

which system is better the novak or the castle creations , and whats the difference between this 8000kV and this 8000kv? is the price difference worth the extra performance. also whats up with this system Tekin 1/18 Mini Rage it has a bad ass name "Tekin rage" and it looks cool does it perform well. i guess im kinda between those three choices, and i want to keep the motor and esc below 200 bux, and there is no where to race these things in miami fl so this is just for fun, and i kinda have the idea to try and beat the speed of my original hpi rs4 rtr that did 40mph.
