XRAY - Model racing cars

I'm picking up an original XB8. What upgrades can I do to make a difference with it.

What shocks will fit?
Anything else?

Thanks

If it still has the aluminium braces in, the plastic braces will make it much more driveable. Don't know if it will be worth it to upgrade but XB9 shock towers and shocks should also fit I think.
You could do a lot of upgrading to get it closer to the xb9, but I don't think that it's worth it. Just drive it and when you feel ready and can afford to make the step up to an used xb9 or even the all-new XB8.

This is just a buggy to get me over the waiting period. Had the XB8 years ago and then an 808. I made the mistake and opened a track and hobby shop. Took the fun right out of it. My mourning period is over and time to get back in.
