Default

-add rings to capture the CVD pins, no set screws
-rubber cvd boots
-lose the Al servo tray and diff cover, use plastic or carbon
-vented shock caps with foam and thick bladders
-16mm bore shocks w/1.2x8, 1.3x8, and 1.1x10 tapered pistons
-as much suspension travel as AE, Kyosho, etc. Copy the MBX6r but add a little more travel/droop, it's worked fine so far
-Kyosho progressive blue springs
-forward weight bias
-battery box up front
-adjustable arm front and rear wheel base (ala Xray)
-Losi styled wing
-cab forward body for down force, noone has tried adding winglets up front, might be something to look into. Go crazy on the body, nothing pretty, make something aero and ugly that stands out, don't even bother with windows
-130cc tank with bolt in things to reduce capacity, that way I can remove them and cheat (not very nice, but it'll sell)
-carbon shock towers
-two rear body mounts, if the body offers enough DF, two in the front as well.

-name the car the "Fleetwood Edition", and send one my way for testing.
