Yeh, I'm not the biggest Traxxas fan, but I'll give credit where its due, they have the hands down best mini, I love my wife's Merv. Great car after you've spent another 150 or so on aftermarket goodies...and therein lies the problem. Anyhoo...

Onebadtwo, nostalgia isn't what it used to be, as they say. I reckon you should pick up a modern 4wd with a killer brushless setup, just to see how the hobby has evolved compared to the bad old days. You can always buy something retro later.
Think I have $115 or so in parts to make it run how I like
lets see what I put in mine
front/rear alum brace, center diff(one of the key things), spring set(needed out of the box), front, and rear RPM arms, Front and rear RPM bumper(stock looks stupid IMO), front and rear alum knuckles, 550 motor mountradio box/ and other things
