Um, you could replace the alum with plastic. That'd be the first thing I'd do.

it really depends on what you want to do. Plastic is lighter and allows for more speed. the thing you have to realize is that with the aluminum a-arms, when you wreck something else is going to break instead. I don't know about the revo but my bashing t-maxx has aluminum bulkheads, because those are a pain to replace. a lot harder than the a-arms. also ends up being lighter than the a-arms.

tightening the slipper clutch will cause it to do mad wheelies --and a little more stress on the drive train

If you are bashing then you might want to get aluminum shock towers, but I never have problems with plastic.

Well most importantly you want to make sure you are not running too hot, which can be bad for the engine. It will help you dial in the engine to optimal temp for performance and engine life. Also, if you are running too cold it could contribute to your jato not going as fast as it could.
