Got a cheap Mini Cooper RC car for Christmas. Is there a way to
upgrade this thing- and I realize that I'll be changing just about
everything most likely. I would like it to go 20mph. My wife thought
it would go 27mph, but that was 27MHz :)

Which manufacturer?

if it's the new Testors brand, I would just leave it stock.

If it's the Tamiya Mini Cooper others will chime in.

Neither. It's a cheap Chinese version.

If you're interested in getting an RC Car that can reach those speeds, look
at the XXX-S from Losi http://www.teamlosi.com , or the TC3 from Associated
http://www.rc10.com I run electric so I can't speak about Nitro, but I
believe the TC3 comes in Electric and Nitro versions.

They're going to be a little more spendy than a "cheap Chinese version"
though.
