Metal can be anything from the crank scoring the back plate, the piston coming apart, or a bearing that locked up. No matter what the cause, you need to pull the engine apart and inspect everything. From what you are saying, I'm almost suspecting a bearing is seized. Make sure to check your compression by spinning the motor over by hand. If you don't feel a pop at the top, then I would replace the piston and sleeve as well.
So if I go to the local hobby shop and upgrade the engine I have to upgrade everything else as well because I'm upgrading from 2.5 to 2.5r

Because I was planning on trading my engine because of it overheating issue cause there's a lot of metals underneath the piston so I want to start fresh and get a new car and engine

Do you know what comes with the trade-in I know it's the crankcase piston and head does it come with the carburetor and what else

Ah, I thought you were upgrading from the .15 to the .25. My bad. Then those will be a direct swap.
And I would think the engine woudl come with the carb, unless they both use the same carb and they suggest using yoru current carb. Swapping them out is not hard, you just have to make sure to push it down to seal the carb on the block. Before you do, I would take your carb apart and clean it out with carb cleaner just in case there is some trash in teh needles. But, if you really want to know if it coems with the carb, I would call your LHS or Traxxas and ask them.
