no rpm does not make arms for the 5T...the stock arms are strong, and the breaks were just from alot of hard racing...if you get the prospec there is no reason to upgrade anything...the only mod i would consider is the losi 8T wheel adapters, this mod gives the 5T more low speed turn...

The mugen is pretty much indestructable. My dad races one and has only broken one front arm when he hit a wall. He also runs the buggy wheel hexes so that it is narrower, which is necessary since we run on an indoor, tight track.

Most guys lose the stock steel brake discs and rubber pads. Just use the metal calipers on one of the aftermarket brake discs (I personally use the TTR option discs part # PD1861). Cradock, Racer's Edge, Avid and a few other make discs as well. Also ditch the stock 1.4mm white shock pistons and use the 1.5mm black shock pistons.
The rest of the truck is bullet-proof. ProLine now makes 17mm LPR truggy wheels to run the newer LPR tires. If you want to reduce unsprung weight, get some lightweight pillow balls. There are several out there: Dace, Mugen, Innovative Design, etc).
As for a motor, on the track the .21 works great and gets better run time. For bashing the .28's are a lot of fun but suck more fuel.
Best of luck,
