I'm using the springs that came with the E-R EVO for the LT suspension. Not using the LT rockers so I'm just gaining the advantage of the much stiffer springs. With the stock springs it wouldn't take an 8" drop without bottoming out. Even on 5s with a 1515 2.5d I have no need for a center diff, at least not to control wheelies. If you don't over power the trucks in the future I don't think there's much need for a CD. I want to get the sway bar so let me know how much they help! I don't think the RPM True Trac arms are of any use unless you feel the need to start messing with the toe in on the rear and mess it all up. The true tracs hold the toe in at the same as the E-REVO comes from Traxxas. If you break an arm then I guess it wouldn't hurt to upgrade them. I'm going to get the RPM axle carriers because they have bigger bearings, my stock bearings are shot already. As far as breaking pushrods or steering/toe links goes I wouldn't be to worried. I beat the crap out of a 3.3 nitro for a year and only one broke when my Dad nailed a boulder! Haven't had any issues with the one's on my E-REVO. I broke a couple rear body mounts on mine and wound up getting an aluminum one, it took a bit of work to get the wing mount on with it but no more problems with it so far. A couple aluminum diff cups would be a good upgrade if you don't want to shell out the money for the RC-M hybrids. I know I can't justify the cost for them so I'm gonna go with the alum cup and hope for the best, the stock ones have held up so far though. I hope I have been of some help
