If you're new and just got your first nitro, I would recommend you spend some time with it and see for yourself what areas could use some improvement.
If memory serves me correctly, the sport is basicly a lighter on feature and lighter in weight rustler, right?
If so, then it sounds like a good beginner truck.
First thing to check for is bearings. Make all rotating stuff roll on bearings. Axles, clutchbell, tranny gears.
The steering servo is usually the next area that could use some improvement.
Also, if you abuse it hard, look into some sort of aftermarket chassis stiffener/tranny brace.
Have fun

ok, ive got a list of stuff i put on my sport ( you will usually hear me refer to it as a rustler, just so you know what im talking about)
and after i list something i will give you the equivalent tower link.

first things first, get a full set of wheel bearings, for price the duratrax ones are best . http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXPA99&P=Z

then i got the robinson racing products spur gear (not neseasary but ive never killer this gear) and slipper kit. also the stock slipper is not of very high quality and this one is much more consistant. http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXBJC6&P=ML

then new rear tyres (the stock ones wont last too long) maybe try some Losi Reptiles (not available on tower, go to your LHS)

i got the traxxas optional fibreglass shocktowers, they are very strong and the stock rear one is fairly weak. http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXJG36&P=7 Note: this link is the better graphite one

one of the best purchases is the duratrax shock set for the evader in this thread i explain the full conversion http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_31...tm.htm#3188047
