I already have carpet tires. I have Proline pins in the rear and wedges in the front - they have so much grip, I will try different tire combinations between the carpet and stocks to get the right combination. I already have a brushless system and a faster servo. (Hopefully the 3d printed servo mounts and horn holds up) For carpet I am thinking about getting a MIP ball diff. I will also switch out some shock oils (I have the upgraded aluminum shocks)

These upgrades go for both carpet and clay: MIP driveshafts, aluminum steering bellcrank, aluminum camber block/pivot block, RPM arms, and some other upgrades

Most of those aluminum upgrades are from Hot racing

For clay racing: I have Jcon ellipse rear tires. I will also try the stocks (which are slicks now) with some tire sauce.

And then after all of these upgrades, It should be a fun carpet racer and a clay track basher!

Some other things I plan to replace is the rear suspension pins and C and D blocks. I will also replace the chassis because I drove the car outside alot and the chassis is so scrapped up. With a new chassis I plan to get a chassis protector too.

Also I am looking for transponder mounting locations if I do want to race.

I would say that you should not get a ball diff for it because they are strictly for racing and will not hold up to the abuse that bashing gives. I had a ball diff in one of my trucks and after the first jump it shattered. i had to superglue it together so that it would actually work.
 
I might hold off on some upgrades.

I might even upgrade along when I break stuff.

Here is some parts I will be needing to upgrade

https://hot-racing.com/?partnumber=MTT12A01;c=1523 - Hot racing aluminum bulk head

https://hot-racing.com/?partnumber=MTT4801;c=1523 - Hot racing aluminum bell crank

I might get this https://hot-racing.com/?partnumber=MTT48SHVX;c=1523 which is a aluminum servo saver for the savox servo

Or I might try to find a aluminum 21t servo horn.

I am also planning to get a pair or the stock rears and some more tires just to experiment with the set up.
Also will be getting some more pinions and spurs. I just need to find the pinion bore on the 6000kv 2 in 1 motor.
 
See what kind of upgrades are common among the other mini b racers at your track and start with the common ones. :2cents:
