    Question Hop-Ups

    Hello everyone. I just got my rusty a week ago and I have some extra $$$. So i was wondering like what is the first hop-up I should get? Is there anything that ya just gotta get? Anything that i really should just have?

    Extra stub axle carriers, caster blocks, and steering blocks are always nice to have. The plastic ones always seem to break really easily.
    An aftermarket tuned pipe will help out your engine's performance really well too, but I don't think anybody's made one specifically for the 2.5 yet that I'm aware of. Maybe I'm wrong.
