Default RC18MT

Well i just bought a RC18MT and was suckered into getting a Reedy Mini-max motor and a novak ESC. So far I really like the thing and wondering what I should do first to upgrade the thing. Would i be better off getting aluminum parts or RPM? I'm going to be getting into racing with it due to my LHS just building a Mini track, so what would make it the most race ready? Thanks in advance.

Zachary.

Get Rpm Nylon becouse if you get Alu. ones and you hit something hard enough you will break more thigs than just the Arm... so get Nylons...

You should probably fix the loose steering and get a gear cover. check out "the toyz.com" for parts. they have like 500 parts!!

Ok Aluminum shocks more tunable, fix the steering slop. then get a motor battery and gear ratio that you are comfotable driving with. upgrade the week links in the truck(what ever you think needs to be upgrded. And if you are racing seriously(like for prizes and stuff) get some better dirt tires.
oh yea and what ryan said go to thetoyz.com
