I went with the Kyosho upgraded brake rotor thinking 'this will be great'.... wasn't (but does look cool though). I now have a carbon fiber disk... to lower rotating mass. The oneway front seems to be your best friend in slowing down....just crank it into the corner and watch it corner as on rails and let the turn slow you down a little. If this were a 4 wheel drive sedan with a spool or diff in the front... high performance brakes are the ticket.

Just got my hands on one of these, and thought i would share some ideas i have carried out.

I noticed there is just enough space for 5 AAA batteries to go behind the fuel tank, if you use a micro servo...this will give near perfect balance side to side. .
