2) Slapping on some AKA Enduro SS tires

That's it.. I've seen a couple people say the rear hubs should be swapped.. but then others say they have not broken one of the stockers. I don't crash a lot and I'm a pretty good jumper so I'll stick w/ stock for now. I'm afraid if I move to the alum ones all it does is guarantee a rear arm breaks instead, they cost more ;P Time will tell.

If I feel like the front end drops a little un-natural as a few have noted, I will most likely order the front carbon shock tower and leave the beefier alum on the rear. From there I'll tweak the battery position if needed.

I'm starting w/ the tekin 4.5, but really wish I ordered the 5.5. I'll run the 4.5 if I'm not happy then i'll decide if I want to go to the 5.5 or the castle 1410. A lot of people are pretty happy w/ the 4.5 so I'll give it a go.

Good luck, I'm sure someone w/ some real usage will chime in but that is what I've pulled from this thread, the ten-t thread and some PM's.
