are you bashing or racing?
For racing, I run a rtr sc10 too. Get some good tires, and .5 or 1 degree rear hubs and youll have more traction than youll ever need. I can pull wheelies with mine.
I put the castle v2 4600 combo in mine (~$100) and it has tons more power over the stock system. few other little things, but for the most part, with those items youll have a super fun truck
