I would say front rear and center lockers would the best mod especially with the bigger tires, and then a new servo, i run a Hitec 645 servo on mine.

Sounds like a good start, I would also get a new servo to take advantage of your new steering upgrades.

Servo savers are for racers and bashing. Just use a regular aluminum horn.

well, i didn't have any delrin laying around. but i did have some aluminum. i made a new skid plate/lower link mount. i moved the lower links in approx. .500". i moved the battery to the front axle and the speed control to the rear axle. hope it works.
