I think getting some weight down low on your axles makes for a more enjoyable driving experience. The FI spool from Locked Up RC is a really solid piece of steel and easy to install. Beef Tubes will also add weight and strength, just ream out the outer bearing truss in your axle housings with a 7/16 drill bit and lay em in place; you may have to use a round file until the halves press back together.

And don't forget the coarse thread screws on the knuckles, and C's need to be replaced with machine screws.

I found nothing really needs to be upgraded until it breaks, but the first thing I did was aluminum suspension and steering links, definitely helped overall Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Weight in the front wheels helps a lot, as does sticky compound tires if you like to rock crawl. It all depends on your goals and the type of driving you do. You can upgrade for performance, scale appearance, or durability. You picked a great truck, they do great right out of the box. I agree with the comment to just see what breaks.
