Is it an XL-5 or VXL? I had to replace the caster blocks on mine a few times before I finally bought the aluminum ones. For the most part don't get carried away upgrading until you break something, then buy the best you can. If it's only an XL-5 start putting your $35/month away and save for a good brushless setup. Unless your looking for speeds in excess of 40MPH 2s Lipo is all you will need, anything faster is really only good for speed runs as you can't turn at those speeds. I had the vxl for awhile and only upgraded parts when I broke them. Caster blocks, steering bell cranks, and front bulk where all upgraded to aluminum and the rear arms and rear shock tower got RPM replacements. Aluminum shocks would be a good upgrade too, I was constantly blowing the caps off mine. Get some tires! The traxxas pin tires don't hold up long, esspecially on pavement.
