Ok guys.... I think I have sorted out what you get in the kit and what else you need. I still have to find out what shock pistons it comes with but they are cheap so will make little difference to the cost.
So to run 2 cars I though I would get the following...
3x kits $329.99
2x Losi JRX-S Type R Rear Hub Carriers -0.5 degree, EA3 (2) $4.95
1x Losi JRX-S Type R Hub Carriers-0 degree, EA3 (2) $4.95
1x Losi JRX-S Type R Front Spindles and Carriers-4 degree, EA3 $7.95
1x Losi JRX-S Type R Front Upper Suspension Arms, EA3 (2) $7.95
1x Losi JRX-S Type R Front Suspension Arms, EA3 (2) $5.95
1x Losi JRX-S Type R Rear Suspension Arms, EA3 (2) $8.95
4x Losi JRX-S Type R Front or Rear Sway Bar Set (4 bars) $11.95
1x Losi JRX-S Type R RCD Driveshaft Set, 45mm $25.95
1x Losi JRX-S Type R LCD Driveshaft Set, 45mm $33.95
1x Losi JRX-S Type R RCD Rebuild Kit $5.95
1x Losi JRX-S Type R LCD Rebuild Kit $7.95
2x Losi JRX-S Kevlar Spur Gear-48 pitch, 90 tooth $3.95
2x Losi JRX-S Kevlar Spur Gear-48 pitch, 92 tooth $3.95
2x Losi JRX-S Kevlar Spur Gear-48 pitch, 94 tooth $3.95
4x Losi JRX-S Spool Pulley and Pads, 42 tooth $8.95
1x Losi JRX-S Type R Front Drive Belt $8.95
1x Losi JRX-S Type R Rear Drive Belt $6.95
4x Losi JRX-S Type R Diff Hub $7.95
4x Losi JRX-S Type R Diff Outdrive $5.95
2x Losi JRX-S Type R 10mm Shock Springs-.75" x 12.5 rate (2) $2.95
2x Losi JRX-S Type R 10mm Shock Springs-.75" x 15 rate (2) $2.95
2x Losi JRX-S Type R 10mm Shock Springs-.75" x 20 rate (2) $2.95
This is for rubber/asphalt racing. I believe I have all the logic spares covered and with a spare kit I have the odd spares (like decks/bulkheads) covered too. Let me know if there are any common parts that wear/break easy that I have missed considering one is for 10.5 and one is for mod.
Cheers.

Cheers thanks for the input.... I'll add an extra set of arms and caster blocks although there are only two tracks I would consider hard on the car in Sydney. Any idea about the shock pistons? Whats in the kit? I noticed stormer is out of stock of the white pistons (which look the smallest). Are they the popular ones?
Thanks..
Thanks..

If you are planning to run LiPos, don't forget to get the drive pullies that sit on the layshaft machined down 2 or so mm to clear the side of the LiPo, but that will depend a lot on what brand LiPos you run. I had to machine mine down to fit the IP3800 packs.
PM me if anyone here needs pics on what to do.. I had my machinist turn them down for me on a lathe.

Are you sure you need to mod the jrx-s type r for lipo? The pics on the losi site show a lipo in the chassis so it must clear the pullies. What ever the case it sounds very simple to do if it what I think. A file and a 3.5 will fix the problem real quick.

Currently researching source for kits and parts both locally and overseas. I would prefer locally if the price is sensible (which it sounds like). But currently 90% certain this is my next car.

The Lipo fitament issue is more about the Lipos then the car it's self. There seems to be no standard sizing when it comes to cases for Lipos. They are all over the place. The Orions and any ones that look like them are the worst since they are so wide.

Dragonfire,
I coudn't attach files on PM so here is my setup.
I think 10.5lb rear springs were causing the rear to bottom out. This could explain the unpredictable rear end through some of the high speed turns. Most setups I've read have higher spring rates on the back than 10.5.

What you are refering to is progressiveness. The more progressive the spring, the less compression is required for it to get harder. Considering the short arm configuration of the losi will limit roll anyway, a less progressive spring should be better.

I only have 1 problem with my type R and that is the diff.
Whenever i put it together it just doesn't feel smooth.
I've tried different diff balls, different lubricant,...
But still it feels like it has sand in it although it is as clean as can be.
It is always like this and has been like this from the beginning.
This is my 5th electric car and i never had a problem like this.
Does everybody have this problem with the Type R diffs ?
