Towers carbon? Do you need them? No, but they are a bit lighter and stronger. The rear hubs? Need them? No, not really. Chassis brace? ... It's all about what you want to spend. One thing I will say about the Losi aluminum is it's quality, you get what you pay for, prices are higher but they are nice.
One hop up I want are the aluminum spindles.
those hopup pivots don't look like they have any more options vs the stock choices. Stockers look more than durable enough. I doubt those carbon shock towers offer much more than a few oz savings. If they drop front spindles, I'll go for those the rest looks unnecessary iMO. Thanks for the thoughts though. I'll wait till parts wear or break before bothering.
