Will be dusting off my TRF418 - are there any parts I should be adding to it that have become available in that time?

I'm thinking along the line of 419 parts that are backwards compatible and make a big difference.

My 418 has the Samix chassis and a 419 rear diff but is otherwise fairly stock.
Not really. You racing on asphalt or carpet? I still have my 418 with Samix aluminum chassis and motor mount (racing on carpet). 419 rear diff. XRay short shocks with Fibrelyte short shock towers. The only thing you could possibly look into are the 419 arms with different stiffness. Or some of the hubs f/r. Other than that, not really. Short shocks is where a lot of cars have headed. So that would be something to look into. With the demise of the TRF Team, not sure what else they will or can come up with.
