What would be the first, most easy, and best hop up part to put on my new Sprot Maxx?
 
Fuel filter and a failsafe! Next I would get a recharable 1100 mah NH battery pack for the rx and servos. After that I would get a pullstarter.
 
bLAZER HAS GOT A POINT. iF YOU LOSE COnTROL OF YOUR mAXX AT WOT you will be spending more cash repairing then upgrading.
 
Fuel filter, air filter, hump pack, fail safe and/or throttle return spring.

After that, anything RPM makes.
 
As said before RPM. I'd also get a motorsaver airfilter, they're the best in my opinion.
 
SIRIO .18 :) just cuz I love mine.

FAIL SAFE ( cuz I got my RX wet and it died one me with out a failsafe. Went flyin across the field befor the RX started to work again and I got it back to me.) my NEEXT thig is a failsafe. but a Throttle spring does the job for now.

RPM ARMS - can't beat the garuntee
SHOCKS cuz I can't stand my stock shocks. even with 70wt the ass end saggs

BULK HEADS - can't go wrong with Alum bulk heads
 
I really don't count a fuel filter and air filter, and return spring as hop ups, rather a necessity, all three can be had for under $20. Once these are done, then I would suggest shocks, fail safe and a steering servo, the failsafe for obvious reasons, the shocks because the stock ones pretty much suck, same reason for the steering servo. Once you replace the steering servo, move the stock one to the throttle/break position. Then replace parts as you break them with better parts.
 
I would probably find a way to mount a savage on it...

I would drop reverse and put in a forward only conversion. This will prolong the life of your trans.

-- I don't have a savage, but i do have a $2500 t-maxx... sigh.
