Default Question about buggies

Just picked up a bone stock MP7.5, and would like to know what are the best hopups for it? I know it's very racable while stock, but I'm thinking Racer's Edge shock towers and possibly machined countersunk chassis?

I'm also considering the Hyper 7 PC for next season, either that or the MBX5. I'm liking what the Hyper PC features with lay-down servos for lower CG and I like OFNA stuff, I still love my MBX R2.

I don't know much about the MP 7.5, so I'll leave that for the Kyosho experts. As far as the Hyper 7 PCR goes, anything you can do to lower the CG of a buggy is obviously going to pay dividends in the way the buggy gets around the track.

The one area of concern people are having about the PCR setup though is that way the trottle linkage just kind of hangs out there. When buggies get tangled up on the track, it's pretty common to get T-boned. One good shot in the side where that throttle servo sits and it's a done deal. The servo and the linkage are gone. Since the PCR is still in the Developement process, hopefully Ofna listens to consumer and revises the linkage.
