    Nerf Bars
    Skid Plates
    Handle Bars

    What ever else do I need?

    Thanks

    What's your budget? I would go with 18's rear tires, 20in fronts. Wider A-arms, shocks/shock revalve, axle, nerfs, handlebars, sparks pipe and a cam. That'll get you started. With a lot of searching you could do a low budget/good quality build and find all the stuff I mentioned. I'm sure I'm forgetting stuff......like a killswitch. Good luck.

    I can tell you for me the biggest thing I got other than the nerfs and killswitch most definately was 18" on rear and 20" on front. Then I would say axle. What good is power if you can not control it!!

    Depending on your budget there are many options. But you can buy parts that can get you started and will keep you out of bankruptcy.
    Wider axel such as lonstar
    Offset front wheels
    don't let anyone fool you, you can race with stock shocks. The aftermarket shocks will just help out a hole bunch. The same with a-arms.
