keep the TNX on the track...

The Ofna MP servo saver requires only installation, just get it WITH the bearings.... I really like my hi-tec 645 MG servo to steer with, at 40 bucks you can't go wrong... plus then you can move the stock hpi 'hi torq' servo to thr/brakes.

Oh yeah, get a hump pack too...

New tires + foams. Or at a minimum, new foams. The stock foams are soooo soft
while the stock tires have a lot of sidewall flex to them, they do hook up well on most surfaces.

silicon oil for the shocks & diffs will also make a big difference in handling.
savage-central has extensive list of walkthroughs w/part numbers and pictures
