This is a question that you will get all kinds of answers to.
But my opinion is the only things you need to get for this car to be extremely competitive in stock or mod is the flat arms and tower and the b5 rear motor rear arms (those are not a must but deff allow you to drive the car harder bc they give you more grip). I would also recommend getting a Schelle bearing kit bc the stock bearings suck! Also get some aluminum hexes for the rear of the car. And last get either the Schelle Nova slipper or a V2 associated slipper bc the VTS is not a very consistent slipper, it really is to much for a 2wd car.
Now if you're running stock I would recommend a puck system and an aluminum top shaft, only bc the mid motor is a little on the heavy side and this will not only take away some weight but it also lightens your drive train so you can get up to speed faster.
These are really the only things you need for the car. The car is extremely competitive out of the box these things just help it be even more competitive.
Hope this helps!

slipper
I have the b5m and was looking to buy a light weight top shaft, was thinking the mip one or the schelle I noticed the mip one to be lighter and cheaper. Is it less durable though? Also looking to buy a light weight slipper setup. I am running the stock class and want to know what is best slipper setup to buy. Im sure it's been posted before but there's 623 pages..

My buggy weighs 1620 gr race ready. I currently have JConcepts fin turnbuckles, milled motor plate, Schelle slipper and run an Orion shorty. I race mod and would like to get my buggy down to 1580 gr. What's the best way to loose 40 gr? I am not wanting to use that protech lipo. Are the fin turnbuckles heavier than FT titanium turnbuckles? I saw that AE came out with titanium screws that drop your car by 20 gr. that would be a big dent.

What I don't understand is when I look at Cavs setups he is down to 1570-1580 gr but I don't see anything special beyond titanium screws. What is he doing different?

His rear brace is cut, evo style wheels, only runs certain hard suspension parts. There might be more things but that is what I have seen.
