OK, Upgrades i would recommend (check the "Hopper" album on my profile aswell as it shows a number of these mods fitted to my Eb4 s2 pro buggy)

Complete titanium turnbuckle set,
titanium Torque rod set
Ergal toe blocks,
ergal steering knuckles
Centre Diff kit
15T Clutch bell
Servo saver modification
servo saver posts with ball bearings
ergal front upper arm mounts
sway bars
high torque steering servo
dynamite throttle/brake tuning kit
tuned pipe
Titanium hing pins
titanium shock shafts
Ergal Shock towers
Change out the diff grease for diff oil

you may want to look at this thread on parts compatability and tips and tricks manual

And this thread on Servo saver modification

Any other questions regarding nthis buggy, just ask away, i know this rig inside out, upside down, back to front and front to back.

BTW, are you uK or usa based ?? may have some spares you might need.

The EB4 S2 already is a .21 from new. i did fit an OS 30 engine in, but i'm contemplating a bigger engine though what, i have yet to choose. I have seen .28's fitted and they push the buggy well, but not any better than the 21 does, a 28 just has more torque.

If you want a lil' more speed, try changing the clutch bell up a couple of teeth and getting a 44t main gear for the centre diff. I currently have 18/46 and the buggy shifts out its own way quick sharp.

Don't expect the EB4 S2 to break any speed limits though, it takes a good engine to be well tuned, the right fuel and gear ratio (main gear teeth to clutch bell teeth) as well as the right tuned pipe for the engine and the right tyre type for the surface you run on.
