Replace the front swing shafts with steel ones and carry heaps of chubs or switch to the softer IFS ones. Carry a few knuckles, uprights and arms, and keep an eye on wear on the pulleys, particularly the small centre ones.

Also pick up some split blocks to use in place of the block that is flipped over the belt, and 3 D blocks so you can use D/D and XA/D which is the other good combination.

If you're running on asphalt the HPI springs are the pick over the tamiyas, get silver and blue

Hrmm gotta say the photon one is pretty friggin nice. The oversized rings and triangular diff ball holes make for an extremely sensual diff action, and the plastic covers are a heaps better solution than the stickers most of us use

That said the tamiya one is still tops and it'll last a LONG time if you build it right
