New wheels and tires, maybe get a better set of wheel adapters. New servo's, send the motor out to get modded, Lithium pack, better pipe, maybe a diffrent motor, a fioroni clutch(or just a better one), some diffrent sets of clutch bells and spur gears, Re-mount the pipe hanger so its no-longer on the body mounts, RPM axle carriers, CVD's all around, a better wing, a diffrent body, a longer servo arm for the steering servo, ummm... Yea I'll come back if I can think of any more..

I disagree,the PE is an awesome truck the way it is.You can certainly upgrade when you break something! The PE axle carriers are great,you wont be popping balls out like the old ones(lightweight),the pipe is fine,not too loud! Tim Roberts(Traxxas team racer)actually runs the blue pipe that is stock on the standard REVO!The tires actually hook up really well on my local tracks-hardpack,tacky-loamy burms,and dry dust.I will probably get Pro-line Crime-fighters when my tires go bald,only because they are cheaper!!The 3.3 motor is a proven winner and it is reliable...Traxxas did an awesome job on the body,it is extremely lightweight and aerodynamic,which conforms well to the fully-adjustable wing!!! Oh yea and it looks *****en (i sold my 2x heavier pro-line crowd pleazer bods to a couple of local bashers)...This truck is built for the TRACK,and i certainly keep up with the racing truggies with my STOCK PE-REVO.....

Who well does the header hold up to rear impacts to the wing and flexing the body mount into the pipe? I had this problem and had to change to a side pipe and header.
