Please help me how to do this i would like a Li-po battery with a speed control, motor and receiver that would all work in one to make it fast please give me a location i would do this or the model numbers for the parts. Also could you tell me the pinion size and spur gear size with the modifications?

you will want a brushless motor kit. roughly $100-150

I would reccomend getting an upgraded nimh or nicd battery before getting lipos. You will need to get really good at driving before you get them. If you still want lipos, you need to get either a 2cell 7.4v battery, or a 3 cell 11.1v battery. If you get the upgrades, you will probably need a roll cage and an aluminum or titanium spur gear. As for the size of a spur gear and pinion gear, you will want to get a lower number of teeth for more acceleration and less top end speed, and a higher gear for less acceleration and more top end speed.
