any undertray is unecessary. the gap around the spur is designed to let little stones through if they enter the car, so they don't get wedged in the spur.

The alloy pivot brace at the front is essential. As Roger said the alloy shock mount support isn't essential as the new plastic ones are beefed up a lot compared to the original.
However i would recomment an atomic carbon front shock mount, and fit this together with the original shock tower to double the thickness. This is how most people run the car and it makes the front end bulletproof in all except the most freak/vicious crahses.

I would also add diff balls to the essential upgrades as the kyosho standard balls are like rolled up bits of bluetak. Get some AE tungsten ones, or PM "old timer" as he does some nice ceramic sets cheap through atomic carbon.

If your car has the phillips head screws then contact Dom at DC racing as he does a complete hex screw set for £10 and worth every penny, the phillips screws will strip heads in no time.

think that covers most of the vital bits.
