RE: a little help
My Opinion is (after spending 400 bucks on upgrades) is that you run it stock for sometime, replacing/upgrading parts as you break them. but then your personal Driving Style and terrain will tell you what to upgrade. If you race on flat surface VS Jumps and mud. Gravel is always tough on an RC but requires different upgrades. Like Personally, I take my truck out to our local BMX track, so shocks and shock towers were my choice, so I could handle the jumps..But I went and got all the upgrades B4 I realized what i needed..So I have a Brand new clutch and clutch bell for my Evader that makes the Top Speed faster...No need for top speed at this particular track. So my suggestion is to run it stock until the itch for a new part is to much to resist.

RE: a little help
Another thing to look at upgrading is the front A-arms. I replaced mine with RPM. Another wise upgrade would be a Motor Saver air filter. I don't generally advocate replacing parts with aluminum, unless you are going for flash factor, but the trany brace is a place where I would recommend it for strength. But as for the rest of the stuff, I side with Dog. Run it for a while and see what parts need attention. I run the tub style chassis, and I found it very effective to move the battery from the rear bumper and put it where the receiver was, and put the receiver on the steering servo. It brings the CG forward and keeps it low. I can keep the front end down and still keep throttle open up the jump. It also helped hook the front tires up for turning. I seemed to have a real hard time with push, and that really helped. Overall I say just run it and have a blast!!
