Upgrades. Not really - the kit as supplied is superb. I know there are alloy rear hubs now (in black alloy) which I'm sure some will get, but I haven't seen the need yet. The turnbuckles are plenty strong enough and all the front end is alloy anyhow so not much to upgrade there?
I have gone with the kit gear diff and so far it has been great. I have a spare ball diff which I'd never used in my BMax, but so far not felt the need to try it.
Alloy shock tops? You decide. I have them as they came with my BMax2, but haven't used them.
I've broken nothing yet

Weight - I have a small brass weight in the front, but mainly as I made some chassis protectors for a few other drivers at Batley and one of the drivers kindly did me a deal on the brass weight in exchange. The car feels good with it, but not sure whether it was much worse without? It felt slightly more stable on a slippery surface, but I am not a good enough driver to really know

Yokomo YZ-2

No 4WD because nothing lives up to my original Optima. Until now maybe?...
