Bufff... tough to say at least, this is my humble opinion about it.
-
Front universals: Vital, should be the first thing to put on any MTX4. For me isn't a hop-up, should be a stock part on the kit.
-
Rubber belts: The way to go. Less friction but higher maintenance costs, higher wear, watch for the pulleys healt, a teeth in bad shape could ruin a belt. Urethane are fine for practice, rubber belts are for racing.
-
Engine mount: Some of us we don't like to get additional cooling on the lower side of the engine, rather than two independent blocks I swear for a monoblock engine mount. Bling, bling for me.
-
Ti screw set: Only the upper side screw set is ok for me, the lower is just bling, bling or for weight freaks.
-
Rear roll bars: The 2.2 & 2.5mm are another tunning posibility for your car, isn't a hop-up for me. Grab them, are cheap and sometimes you could need them.
For other parts of other manufacturers, YMMV.
