Kyosho gold shocks, Duratrax aluminum rims, Option House Torque Limiting Clutch, Option House swing shafts, and I think there was a Thorp Diff. Those are all the hop-ups I'm aware of that are specifically for it. They share many parts with the Rocky.
I'm not positive but I think the front wheels are 1.9 and the rears are 1.6 in size.

As well as the hopups suggested by Lowgear, there are some I have put to good effect on my Raiders. As I have a Sierra RS500 as well as the Raiders, I have seen that the RS500 chassis is the same as the Raider, with a few minor differences, which can be added to the Raider as required.
Firstly is longer axles in the rear. These make the car wider in the rear (duh), which should improve stability. The second is an extension piece in the chassis, which gives you a slightly longer chassis - again, for greater stability.
I have all these parts available (surprise, surprise!), should you consider the mods.... could even provide a Sierra RS500 rear wing, for that Ultimate Raider look... well, maybe not.....
