I voted bearings. These things are crap. One of em seized on me so I'm waiting for the ones from Tiny to come out.

Lights... they do nothing but use up power that should be going to the motor.
I don't know why people are saying the crystals are useless, unless they never run with other people who have the same car type...
The rims aren't useless because you can use them to have your extra tires mounted and ready to go. Especially if you glue the tires to the rim like many do.
Actually, the body kits are kind of useless, as they do nothing more than reduce ground clearance and add weight. I don't think these things go fast enough for aerodynamics to come into play, unlike other R/C cars I've raced.
Oh yeah, and stage 1 motors is a good way to get an extra set of pinion gears... :lol:

Body kit is totally useless. It just looks good.

body kit isn't too bad for replacing the parts you may have broken.
Lights, if you have a actual reflector instead of the paint inside the light areas, they might have been somewhat useful.
Wheels....useless, unless you did something really really wrong to your stock ones.
stage 1 motors might have their place, but I won't spend the moeny to find out.
AWD isnt too bad for technical driving, but I'll eschew it for good old RWD....It's been used in racing for over 80years for a reason...it's one of the few simple things in cars that works as well as it does.
Springs are good
Bearings...mixed views on them, but I see any friction reduction as a good thing.
Tires are good for adapting to the differnet tracks, same for foam tires and the fugly wheels they come with.
Crystals are a must for any serious racing....
sticker kit is all polish, and probably more useless than the wheels, but I didnt see them on the poll.

right now lights are rated most useless, but i disagree. if you drive at night there a must to see your car and plus they look really cool. also there cheap as hell
i voted stage 1 motors since you get one in your starter box. and every one always brings up TOURQE!. but since you already have the most tourqe motor stock all your doing is losing tourqe as you move up the gears. i bet the stage 2 drift is close to the stage 1 drag in tourqe and top end, if not out performing in both

I voted that the stage 1 motor was useless, because you already have one in your XMOD. I dont know why people think the lights are useless because I drive mine at night all the time.
