Upgrades? RPM arms and front bumper. Other than that, it's pretty solid. I tried using TRX CVDs, but they broke very fast. Stock sliders seem to last MUCH longer and are cheap to replace from eBay when they do get worn. I also tried the TRX red turnbuckles and they broke/bent easily. I use stockers there too.

I imagine you'll opt for the single speed conversion so you can have reverse and use the motor for braking? Otherwise, you'll need the mecanical brake and won't have reverse.

Other than that, keep the weight further back for traction and let 'er rip!
