just sold mine mate or you could have tried it!

hop ups, there are a few threads with these. The car is strong out of the box, nothing needed for strength. Only essential mod is 30g of lead in the front end. Maybe replace the diff balls with associated or the ceramic from atomic carbon.
Use Losi springs if you have a set available as the kyosho ones are a little bizarre in range.
The atomic towers are nice and give more holes, but i broke rear and the tiny front mount! Kit items are strong and i didn't notice any real difference from using the extra holes. Obviously someone of your level may notice more!

A handy tip for the rear inner pivot ball is fit one with a hex driver head, as it is impossible to get to with a box wrench for standard ballstud. Makes changing the link easier.
Think that it pretty much it, as i said have a read in the kyosho section as i've probably missed something. There is various discussion in there about the rear wishbones, using the lazer ones which are narrower etc.

hope you like it, it's a solid car. Better than my old B4.


ps, i have some titanium turnbuckles if you want to shave some weight of it, they are a bit porky on the scales!
