Shocks, well i thought that someone had brought out some new designs with an extra bottle to the side of the shock body but didnt really hit it off.

I think that aero dynamics will be a big leap as none of the buggies, including the pred are not that aerodynamic. Most front towers equate to having a brick wall on the front of the car even with the hole in the middle of the tower and the tires must aid to the problem.
Off road cars don't really need to have any other aero features besides a Wing though, they're off the ground most of the time or at least high off the ground so you're not trying to create drag like on a circuit car - Plus the power to weight ratio stops speed or acceleration being an issue anyway as the buggies will never suffer any of that due to not being aerodynamic....
