You can get both 3 and 4 gear LR box's. I run the 3 gear, It gives you a more stable car, but the drive is a bit more direct/aggressive.

4 gear gives more grip in both LR and standard gearbox, when compared to the 3 gear versions. So, 3 gear for high grip tracks.

If you want to make the most out of the car, just get the bits that you think you need. If you need the car to do something and you don't currently have a part that will do the job....get the upgrade that will

Most of the bits you can buy for the B5M and there for durability. There are a few tuning aids, like the bulkheads, pin braces, gearbox and wheel hexs that make a real difference. Don't fall into the same trap as me and spend a fortune on bit's you don't need lol The Lite is a great car as it is.

If you want to improve and don't want to spend a fortune on bits....

Buy some new seals for your shocks, replace the seal on your diff, clean the car, rebuild your shocks and check all the bearings and screws

Don't underestimate the value of a nice new set of yellow mini spikes either
