I'm not big on bling and it seems like that's what many of the parts available for this buggy are right now. Below is what I've seen that would seem to make a functional improvement. I'd love to hear other opinions though if I'm not seeing something.
Ball bearing ackerman bar from RCShox or Exotek.
Exotek machined spur and mounting plate.
Machined shock pistions.
Maybe the rear clamping hexes from Exotek. I used a bit of grease on my pins and haven't had one fall out a single time but I can see why someone would pick these up.
Titanium turn buckles. I have these even though I haven't bent a stock one.
The longer Shelle chassis for certain track conditions.
The Avid chassis if you are already adding weight to your stock chassis and want to keep that weight as low as possible.
yes i was talking about running the wing in the lower position that lowers the center of gravity. as for after market, the exotek center spur seems to be alittle more smoother then the stock as well as makes it easier to open and change your diff oil because there are 4 less screws. The exotek Ball bearing ackerman bar seems to take most of the slop out but not all of it which i think is a good thing. as for the exotek shock retainers I bought those because i saw people posting on here that the stock ones would come out in the middle of a run or during a crash and that since changing to the exotek ones they havent had that issue. and same with the Schelle Chassis, I bought that because my buddy has been running it, and says it calms the car down alot while making it faster going into corners aswell as jumps better.
