No real strength upgrades needed out of the box as she's pretty damn tough!
My suggestions, with approximate prices in US dollars:

1. Slap the stock steering servo (SF2) on throttle/brake, and run a Hitec
645MG/Hobbico CS-70 or metal-geared equivalent on steering. Save the OE
throttle servo (SF1) for the reverse when you buy the reverse module. $39.99

2. Replace steering bellcrank bushings with bearings, you'll need (4)
6x10x3mm. $4.99

3. Relocate throttle return spring from stock location to run between the
roll bar and throttle linkage in front of the gas tank; this will give you
much better throttle return and serves as a mechanical failsafe in case of
rx battery failure. I can send pics if you'd like. FREE

4. 5-cell rx hump pack (order one with male JST/BEC connector) for a direct
fit with stock electronics. $19.99

5. NOVA race pro cooling head. S-25 likes to run hot, the NOVA head will
tame it nicely. $39.99

6. MIP on-board temp gauge is a must unless you already have an IR temp
gun. The on-boards are much more accurrate IMO. $19.99

7. Dirt Bonz tires on whatever wheels you choose. $50.00

8. HPI wheelie bar (you'll need it!). $15.99

9. Center skid plate (I have an integy and it's ok) $15.99

10. Aluminum fuel tank guard (3-racing makes a great one). $9.99

11. Motorsaver air filter $19.99

12. HPI polished pipe $25.00

Guys, did I forget anything?
