Have fun!

Most important part IMO. If the fun has left, no point to it anymore.

what hop ups should i look at getting that would be neccesary. i have already bought the airtronics 94358 servo. i am pretty happy with the structure of the buggy. it has many aluminum parts and seems very sturdy and durable.

Did you get the RTR??? If so look into some upgraded shock towers. I bent the piss out of mine during some hard jumping. I picked up a set of Dynamite ones.

I would suggest a set of premounted Knuckles by ProLine. Awesome tire overall!

Congrats on the purchase!!!
