Default What upgrades for my RC8 Kit?

I just bought the RC8 Kit and engine and put a few tanks through it, after reviewing some posts I noticed there are some weak points that trend to break fairly quick, what parts should I upgrade and in your opinion with what brand? Thank you all for your help and input. It is very much appreciated.

Kingheadz top plate, steering knuckles, motor mount and shock towers.

M2C Racing makes some really nice and beefy ABCD plates, that you might want to look at.

Keep spare arms, shock ends, camber links in your pit box and you should be good to go.

EDITThe Kingheadz extended motor mount is the one I was referring to.
