ZX5 RTR was always thought to be great value for money, its ready to run and you have to start somewhere, a good secondhand "kit" car from the 'for sale' section may have been a better buy, or a wise way of buying spares, read the original oOple review on here, get your car and see what it needs, deffo a front alloy brace, stops the gearbox ripping apart when you damage the front wishbones, (catching the front wheel on something at speed), alloy shock tower mounts & possibly carbon shock towers.
The car will easy take a stick lipo with a bit of weight added for balance, we ran an original kit car for a number of years and was very pleased with it, find a local club and get racing.
also DMS & the race place may have spares, there are not a lot of ZX5's on the tracks but you should be able to find bits, always ask on here for advice.
