Things required.
Kit
Type A tires for most tracks.
Lightweight diffs (the std one have a habit of snapping the diff screw)
shocks are plastic but oil filled.
only way ot put side by side cells is with one of the graphite chassis conversion kits
and if you are racing against other F201's then yes it is competitive. Best of all they are a ball to drive.
