You will need the steering servo arm...MXS41. The Ofna Chrome top with 12v motor is the starter box you are looking for. There is no backplate that would fit perfect that I know of. You will have to modify a backplate from another brand of motor to make it work and I dont know which to recommend. I use the starter box and I left my pull start on it and it works fine. You may want to replace the plastic rear toe block with the CNC upgrade. There are many to choose from offering different toe and anti squat setups. I use T3S1 rear toe block. You will want to upgrade your shock oil putting a heavier weight of oil..... for example 40wt in the front and 35wt in the rear. That's a pretty good starting point. Be careful any bolt or screw you notice that is attached to the chassis or metal has red lock-tite on them. Use a soldiering iron to heat the bolt to get the lock-tite to melt. I learnt the hard way, but with a little patience it will save you time and money. I highly recommend the starter box it makes life so much easier, and get the servo arm as it would be the first thing to break. The truck is tough, not much has to be done and you will have to decide what setup you will want to do with your diffs as there are so many different setups used by many of the Arena drivers right now. I use Gene Hickerson diff conversion kit in my Arena and it makes a difference since I am a racer. Another good upgrade that you may want to get is the Blue aluminum clutch shoes and gold springs.
