Put the steering upgrade on your list if you want to race. Car won't go straight otherwise. The essential parts are the aluminium steering posts and the high-torque servo saver. Keep the budget for a diff aside too, some people manage to do a lot by tweaking the standard diff but it wasn't built to be tweaked, the easiest diff to live with if you must use Tamiya is the TA03 Ball diff, but the 3Racing gear diff is faster.
