First upgrades for my RSX
I was wondering what RS upgrade I should get first for my RSX...
Which upgrade makes the biggest difference to the porformence? I'm thinking the S2 motors... or maybe trying to find an AWD kit?
What do you think?

Arg...
I had try'd that first. . . "I may be a newb but I'm not a nOOb. . ."
I couldn't find anything on first RSX upgrades.... If you would like to tell me other keywords to try. . . .
Rather than explaining to us what's already unambiguous... Maybe you could point us in the right way... Or, maybe someone can make a faqs (Frequently Asked Questions). . .If this is really asked so much, it might be good thing to do.
Edit: Haha. . . WinXP. . . . Windoz sucks.

Why on earth do you have the text set so big?

Hmm, I feel a sticky thread coming on...
Not this one, but the topic of "what's the best upgrades to start with".
Rather than bashing the new people over the head with the search function, we should be trying to make the good information the easiest to find. Beating people up just makes them go elsewhere for their information, and we don't want that. We want to grow and share knowledge for the benefit of our hobby.
Anyway, to answer the original question...
First off, get rechargable batteries. I don't even consider this an upgrade, it is an essential. Whether you go with the RS NiMH setup, or RayoVac IC3s, or some other rechargable battery is not as important as getting away from using alkalines, for both cost and performance reasons.
1st actual upgrade I would do is motor. Either a stage 2 or one of the other options, though you really need Radio Shack motors if for no other purpose than to use the pinions off of them.
2nd upgrade: Bearings. But don't install them stock, degrease them and relube them with Slick 50 One Lube.
3rd upgrade: AWD. I wouldn't install the AWD until you have the bearings, due to the excessive drivetrain losses you get when AWD is combined with the plastic bushings.
