Default General Buggy Upgrades!

Was just wanting to start a thread for newbies for general upgrads for 1/8th buggy's. I have just bought a HPI Trophy and am fininding it very difficult to buy upgrades for it as its a new model. Apart from the asthetics like body shells, shock covers, colourd fule line etc. i have only managed to upgrade just the tuned pipe with a STS 0403. appreciate your help
thanks!

Im looking for speed upgrades. The Buggy is turning sharply and keeps wanting to flip over or tripods on three wheels when turning. It is identical to the Hot Bodies Lighting buggy, and I have a .21 engine and cant seem to get it as quick as my mates Hyper 7.
