Feels like Xmas for myself today

Hey hey hey... my rig comes today ...
This is my first rig ...Upgrade ideas for the redcat ascent fusion...

No better feeling!

Upgrade ideas:

1. Traxxas rod ends on all links. The stock ones strip, pull out and/or snap at the worst times.
2. Wheels + tires.
3. I had to add some weight to the rear axle of mine because it would try to endo on steep declines. I did brass portal covers and it helped a bit.
4. The motor/esc combo not being as programmable as the aftermarket Fusion systems is annoying, but it doesn't need to change.

Run it.

Run it for a while, then decide what you think you need. Everyone runs their rigs differently and on different terrain. Decide what YOU need to be happy. What's good for someone else may not necessarily be what's good for you. Doesn't mean you souldn't listen to suggestions, just try it before upgrading so you can tell if the difference works for you.

Just don't listen if 'someone' tells you to paint your rig hot pink!

I agree with the above on running it before you do any upgrades
