Probably a receiver pack....if you mean performance than maybe a good tuned pipe and header. I would drive it for awhile and see where you want the upgrade at, the suspension, speed, durability, or maintenance reduction.

IMO a lot of hop ups are overrated and unneeded. If you really want to get some then use your car and whatever breaks replace it with an upgraded part.

RE: First Hop-Up for a newbie
First get a failsafe !!!
Come check out the CEN forum for more info on the magnum http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/forumid_310/tt.htm
IMO, the best hop ups for the magnum are:
New tires like 2.2 masher2000s with foams
Aluminum Brake seat
Metal brake disc
Metal brake plug

I was recently out with my Savage, and it was just seeming sluggish all around. I swapped in a fully charged hump-pack, and it was like a totally different truck - it totally woke up. So, if you don't have one, get a good hump-pack and charge it over night.. A tuned pipe might give you a performance/speed boost as well...

Absolutely, the first thing you need is a failsafe. Then you need a hump pack. After that, start upgrading the performance parts. Dustin has a good list in his post.
