After going through a bling-bling faze 3 yrs ago, I now just spend my money on spares, motors, fuel and tires. If you want any alumium upgrades, get the front swaybar holders (they keep better droop settings). Kyosho optional brake pads, Skyline rear shock tower and pipe support are some other "worthy" hop-ups.

I'm sure Kyosho thuroughly tests each 3Racing product to see what's worth their while to sell under the Kyosho name, so they don't have to machine the parts themselves.

I was thinking of getting the s9451 but the specs are almost the same and I have a brand new s9550.
Also, still looking for suggestions on a throttle/brake servo. I am assuming non-digital, right?

They also have Kyosho parts for V1RRR. And 3Racing parts for V1RRR. I really want to buy some 3 Racing and replace some plastic with titanium/aluminum. Is 3Racing parts really that bad?? Their price seems to be attractive.

on my first rrr, i bought aftermarket screws to build the kit... has anyone used the screws the kit came with... if so, how are they????

I found the ones that came with the kit to be pretty good.
I bought a full set of aftermarket titanium screws as spares and in terms of quality i reckon the stock kit ones are better (much closer tolerances)

The one piece engine mount seemed to have a poor tolerance on one of the underside mounting holes....some racers have mentioned it can warp...i havent experienced this though.
The l/w clutch bell has worked fine.
The rear diff housing has been fine.
The rear shock tower offers an additional shock position and a bit more bracing in the middle section than the stock one, but I`ve had one of these break....looks like its a 4mm one next for me

I'm going to try the RRR with the engine and fuel tank 2mm lower.
