+1 on the killer r/c switch, then fix it as you break it.
These things are like legos you build it one way tear it down build it back another.lol
 
i highly recommend an aluminum clutch carrier, be it the HPI HD one or the DDM enclosed or even the turtle racing one. the plastic one allows a lot of deflection between the bearings and heat buildup which toasts them really fast.
and definitely the killswitch if not for your T then for anyone near it.
if you like jumping and bashing go with some shock limiting cables from killer RC. i have a set and they have paid for themselves many times already
 
lol i wouldnt go to the expence of changeing arms till u break them
outwears,killer bee, suspension limiters, team chase roll cage save a lot of breakages
rest replace as u break
 
killerbee is a must mate i wouldnt run my cars without one.
outerwear is another good upgrades.

what rasigs said is true don't replace the arms stochs etc untill they break.
 
In post 5 what ive put should get you started, the team chase cage isnt a must but
its up to you, the body and the stock cage with roof guard is strong anuff! but it is
a nice cage and it protects the body too.
 
keep the arms you have atm but still buy a set of rpm's as spares, just incase you
brake your stockers when your bashing, always good to have spare arms in your
tool box.
