RPM wheels make it look good and are tough as crap. Dynamite shock sets look sweet and are the best you can buy! I would get those. I would also get the pullstarter to replace the EZ Start. Thats about it. Have fun!

how about a performance airfilter and/or different tuned pipe. Both will give you better performance. Then I would get tires/rims for looks :P

anything considering the engine, i finally got it tuned right (the 2.5) but after this thing gets toasted, im gonna need a new one, so i was looking at the http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXPV46&P=0 -that is the .15 cv hyper. and i was looking at the http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXDRB9&P=7 -that is the sirio 3.0 but if i did get one of those what all would i need to replace because of the new horsepower?

Hey,
I've got a T-maxx 2.5... I sold my 2.5 motor on Ebay and bought a sirio .18 3.0cc motor, I use it with a motor saver air filter, robinson spur gear & clutch bell. Robinson brakes, and a viper fail safe. So far, it is great. I think I will add the Team Associated shock kit for the t-maxx 2.5 next.
Also, running proline road rage tires on an extra set of T-maxx stock rims. I usually run on asphalt so this combination works great.
1 note, I also installed the FOC kit (forward only kit), thereby removing the forward / reverse tranny parts & the extra servo & such.
The sirio .18 is GREAT.. .lots more power, lowend and highend, and much more stable (idles great, easier to tune & such)... I am using the stock pipe, but ordered the sirio pipe (on backorder), I will upgrade it when the new pipe comes.
Just my 2 cents.

After breaking my bulkheads i invested some money into skid plates. I bought F/C/R hardcore racing ones that go past the bumper and protect you from landing on it. I love the looks of they and the protection they provide.
