Default Modding to perfection

With everyone's opinion on the MRC and the mods out there...if you were to list your "perfect" mrc what would it be? No limit to what it is, the most simple or complex (price) but to you what would be your "dream build" parts list?

Default Pretty Damn happy with mine!

Here is what I am running:

-Darksoul/Chino Chassis
-tekin fxr/ mamba micro pro (prefer the tekin but the mamba is what will be staying in my rig; try to keep it all Castle Creations for simplicity)
-sr3100 rx
-dx3r
-losi aluminum threaded shocks-semi droop
-OTA steering (not hard to make and well worth it)
-losi aluminum goodies
-rear lock out (which to a 30ft tumble and still held up!)
-HH mini torque master (want to try out Poulsons though)
-Chisels
-Losi aluminum wheels/ Proline Titus wheels
-Hitec 5995tg (overkill but I stole it from my bro)
-CC BEC
-Losi wide wheel hex's
-MIP drivelines (A must!!!!)
-Losi diff/cntr lockers (Tried the aluminum ones and didn't care for them)
-Deans Plugs
-Lipo's (I run the losi 1000, Hyperion 3rd Gen 800, and eflite 800; Hyperion by far the best one so far)
-Bug body (not the prettiest thing but hell if I will ever get roll over points)

Well that's about it and I am about out of ideas to go any farther with this one. I am now working on my daughter rig and she will probably be getting the mixer chassis so we will see how that one turns out.
