SC10 Build tips?

[Team No Idea]

After a nice week in the new forest i could resist a trip to Lesro Models on the way home. And now im about to start the build of my new spangly SC10. Does anyone have any setup tips/suggestions or mods i can do along the way through the build? or is it simply a case of follow the instructions and the truck will be as good as its ever going to be.
I only ask as the last car i built was my X6 and the first time it got near trackside i was told by other, more experienced racers that i could do this, that and the other to make it better.
Thanks in advance for any ideas....
