Airtronics m12
Faster servo (what is the slim futaba one people use?)
Reflex shock bladders
Fan mount with fans
More A arms
If you're running Scale Spec or Stock Touring, the slipper spool is probably fine, and may be better if you're tapping boards. But the fixed spool will be lighter. Gear diff is nice to have, though.
Take a look at the Airtronics M11x. Amain has it discounted at $339.
For Futaba servos, you'd want BLS551 (brushless) or S9551 (coreless). Savox 1251MG if you want to save a few bucks.
