If you cut down the little steering stops you might also want to shave away part of the servo guards. Just take a sanding bit and sand away the part that the servo arm comes in contact with. It will give you a tad bit more steering.
I would also recomend taking a zip tie and strapping down the head guard. Mine tends to come off. One zip tie will keep if from coming loose because of the tension if provides.
Plastidipiing the servos is convenient as you can run in rain or snow. I dipped mine and then ballooned them. Since then I have bought some plastidip spray. I don't know if it is better but from my experience with the dip I would imagine it provides a much easier way to get a get a more consitent coat, or coat just the parts of the servo that aren't sealed. Your reciever and optidrive you will want to balloon.
If you are using your stock body, look on the right side. Where the fuel tank access is on the left side, there will be a portion of the body that juts out a bit on the right. Take a dremel and cut out that part of the body. This will provide a nifty air intake to cool the engine during hot weather. Plus it adds a cool body scoop look. Got that tip from RCCar's site I think...

If I think of more I'll post them.
PS: When doing dremel work on the body, I have found that the drill bit works best. It is easy to control and makes a pretty clean cut. The sanding bit tends to tear the lexan up.
