What are some people favorite choices in this category? I was looking to make it easy on myself and pick up an SC10 brushless version and replace some of the minor things. Thoughts?

The SC10 definietly needs the RPM front bumper as it reinforces the chassis where SC10s are known to break.

I like the Blitz, it has been nothing but good to me and it didn't need much in the name of upgrades to make it very competitive. All I bought for it was a STRC steering bellcrank, a decent servo, and a Tekin RS w/ 13.5T motor. The thing is fast, turns on a dime, and has no trouble finding rear end traction. Here is a thread for you to check out.

i just like how the SC10 comes brushless. I know I could probably sell the electrics and have almost enough for the Tekin system though.

You probably could. To be honest, if my track allowed sensorless systems, the SC10 idea would be great where I am at. Depends on where you race I guess, I always forget that my track is wierd sometimes. The don't allow sensorless systems, and they don't have any races during the summer...

Get rid of the stock electronics...buy the Tekin system to save ya some headaches.
As far as a must for the truck...
Chassis Brace or RPM front bumper package
RPM front A arms.

As far as upgrades I've done, I bought my truck as a kit before this truck was out.
30 degree caster blocks
CVD's
1 degree losi rear hubs
Captured ballstuds on the rear
Factory Team shock bodies

Other than that save your money for racing & Tires... I like the Proline M3 Calibers myself,Hope that helps ya some.
