The hopups lee172 mentioned are spot on. I would also recommend a set of ball bearings. And lock your rear diff by placing the three gears side by side:

Hey Bok, that's a really cool way to lock your diff, I never though of that.

Yep what's great about it is that it's not permanent, so you can easily go back to open diffs. I have the front diff of my CC01 locked this way, works great!
