More batteries, and either a good double charger (I have yet to see a double that puts out enough amps (5+) to each battery for my taste) or two good single chargers. And get some 3300's, they're all around better cells. More punch, more runtime.

could you buy them for me? i meant like chassis stuff like that. do i need a new higher torque servo? anyway thanks i did hear something about a double charger i might look into it.

if you will be racing, tires are a must, rims can wait... hmmm, you could use some aluminum shock caps just in case and that's about all I know since I dont race anymore.
but definately practice driving it! that's the best upgrade you can get ;)

you need:
Proline bow ties in 40 series if you want
Some light wheels like prolines velocity dish (DONT get nice shiny rims for racing, you want light ones it helps alot),
some gp3300 7 cell packs, they have some here www.ballisticbatteries.com
Aluminum shocks like the powerline ones or the Traxxas big bores.
Some heavier springs, trinity makes some black ones called monster black springs or something, put 2 in the front and 2 in the back.
you might want some heat sinks for your motors, associated makes some for the tc3 that work good.
YES you need a higher torque servo, Hitech makes a good digital one called 5645 MG for around 50$, or if you have the money, airtronics makes one for 110$, im not sure what it's called.
And be sure to lower your suspension when you go racing.
DO not get better motors unless you go brushless, any other motors you will have to replace brushes every time you run, because they are not really made well for as much voltage as the e-maxx has.
This is of course, just what i have on my E-maxx, and it beats all the t-maxxes (they keep running over each other:p )
