What parts from 418/419 are suitable and recommended?
I have been running a 417x for over 3 years now, they are great cars and can be right up there with good setup. The good thing is you can drop a lot of 418 and 419 parts straight in to help improve performance slightly, a bad point is some parts are getting hard to get hold of now.
Also note the new 419x has gone back to a bulkhead width the same as the 417 probably because it works.

Another thing is the top-deck. Is very difficult to found spare top decks for 417. What can I do?

In general I had no problem to found parts. Only topdeck for me.

The 419 shocks are a bigger bore and have a different feel and stay the same over the run.
The 418 stabilizer kit is easier to adjust.
The 418 rear uprights give a shorter to link and increase the camber gain which helps a lot I have found.
I have found the V5 top desk works best.
Theres a few still around.

They can even do modifications to the deck to your choosing, like different carbon fibre weaves, thickness, etc.
I have used Bezerk's top and bottom decks on my v5 and been really happy with them.

Bezerk RC is a great resource.
