    tuned pipe for starters, also dump the ez start and put a back plate on it and replace stock parts with carbon fiber

    A 360 stinger will add more performance to your engine. You could also get new tires, wheels, clutch upgrades, aluminum arms, shock towers, pretty much everything.

    Well if you got the pro .15, the only thing really is the traxxas tuned pipe or stinger. But if you really wanna fly, you can do the engine replacement for the 2.5R . You will notice a huge performance boost in your truck. But like I said, the only thing that will bring out a little more performace from your pro .15 at a low price is the traxxas tuned pipe. You can port the engine but I dont suggest it.

    I'd suggest the stinger pipe to add the most speed.

    i would go with mip's side pipe...less risk of stuffing it in the mud....direct fit for the sport and the price is also better

    also some small but effective hopups are bearings and a bigger clutch bell i have a 22 tooth and it adds 2 or 3 mph but a little less accel i still need to get bearings go to this ebay store for some pretty cheap Bearings for sport

    stores.ebay.com/vxb-bearings-skateboard-and-slotcar

    when you get to the site search for rustler and you should get some results 14 bearings for $10 or $16 with shipping, 6 extra but considering they resale at $24 for 8 with out shipping it probbaly is a good deal.
