Sealed drive train? like some of the early Schumacher cars?
Standard wheel hexes - yes
1/10 ball joints and cups probably best.
I run a 1/12th servo in my shark, but ran a hitec in my rc18, and the only thing I didn't like about that was the futaba servo saver, multiple parts to it.
I'd also improve the steering system, which is not the greatest on the shark. Something more like the tc4 (but in an alloy) or the Mi4LP.
Things like shock sizes might be a bit more tricky for an independant to do, and plastic's no bloody good.
