Depends on what surface you're racing on, high/low grip etc. You've already got the best car in the world, ever! :)

well as above you already got best car and if its factory team car nothing needs changing but if ready to run then ally front brace and titanium turnbuckles thats all really you will probably break a shock tower and front arms but no upgrade for thatso just keep spares

Back on topic!

Ghea Delrin front bulkhead
Ghea 1and2 pistons for rear end
Associated weight for behind rear bulkhead
Rudebits lipo weights
Kyosho springs to replace the associated ones (something like yellow front or silver and yellow 65 for rears)
Hex adapters front and rear with the AE axles etc
Rudebits 72g servo weight (maybe)
AE vented slipper plates and pads
AE carbon front arms and maybe rears for more consistency

Anymore???

Gaz,
How do the Kyosho springs compare to AE and how do the colours compare with AE springs?

I'm curious what difference do the vented slipper plates make over the standard ones and are they worth the money?

The above compares ae and kyosho rates
The kyoshos are a lot bigger especially the fronts compared to silver ae etc.
More progressive handling is what you will find
Much easier to drive and easier to push where before you may of struggled
Not as much grip role as the springs are longer and don't always bottom out totally as happens to the smaller ae springs in theory due to being smaller length overall.

This probably isn't the best explanation I've been up for 22 hrs!

What I've noticed personally is that when your slipper slips it makes the plates red hot all depending on how slack you run it depending on the surface.

When this happens the slipper becomes less efficient and looses you time on track due to drivability

The vented ones let some of the heat out so the slipper runs slightly more efficient than it would with the above

How much heat they let out I don't know but they are definetly better over standard!

Cheers Gaz, I'll give em a try even if I don't notice a difference they look pretty trick.
