44.2 and 4.2 for beginners advice

[Tobamory]

Im running both Schumacher and Associated 4wd and 2wd cars, I just wanted to get some advice on the HOP Ups for the 4.2 and 44.2 that you guys would see a benefit from the stock car.

Ive slowly doing the K1 and KR but as ive found these 2 require some tweaking before there perfect, I find the associated drives good out the box, but wanted a steer on what if any upgrades you guys would have on a stock car to get the best from it.

I may at some point go C4.2 but that's along way off.

thanks in advance

P.S Also whats a good body option over the standard that makes it look good, would you guys go proline or Jc Concepts or other ?
