Hey mate
Im not overly familiar with the mr02 as I run a AWD. But my guess is the same parts would help both platforms
A good set of bearings should be your first purchase. first thing i did was to upgrade my bearings, drive shaft, diffs and a couple of sets of quality batteries. There are plenty of motors to pick from. just be careful of what your current board can handle. A modified motor will fry your new purchase before you get it to the end of the kitchen, if you have not upgraded the fets or installed a turbo.
All the flashy alloy parts look great, but also come with extra weight, and alot of the time, with no benefit to performance.
maybe some of the mr02 drivers can chip in about dampeners and the likes of it.
If all this fails, go buy a 2 stage model rocket engine, tape it on and watch that bad boy fly

as renton said, bearings are the number 1 upgrade on any rc car.
then you should invest in nimh rechargeable batteries and a decent charger.
after that you might want to try a kyosho x speed motor. if that’s not enough you’ll have to look into electronics modification, upgraded fets or a turbo. then you can go with the “insanity” class motors.
for grip, the golden rule is “rear end grip is more important than front end grip”.
when i used to run on concrete surfaces i used wide foams on the rear and narrow rubber up front.now i’m running on a foam tile “rcp” style track and i’m running 10 deg wide rubber on the rear and 10 deg narrow rubber up front. if i could be bothered finding them i’d prefer 8 deg wide on the rear.
after all that you might want to look into a kyosho rear oil shock and if you’re racing on a track some cambered front knuckles.
anything after that you buy will be purely bling. not that there’s anything wrong with that! :8ball:
