1) HPI Springs (1x Pink, 2x Silver, 1x Blue)
2) Steel front 46mm driveshafts
3) Split 1C blocks for the front
4) Gear Diff
That little list pretty much makes the car bullet proof, and handle the best outdoors...

Does this springs are the one you are talking about?

Regarding the 1C split, they don't require any shims underneath to be in the same position, but it does mean you can't lower the roll centre any more (like Jilles did at TITC). Personally, I didn't like the car with the low roll, so haven't tried it since..

500,000? wow wouldn't that be like a spool?
Awesome guys thank you for this insight. I think i have most of this already except the springs and gear diff. I'm going to build the car w/ the ball diffs and then install the gear diff in the front of the car.

Here is what I've found/noticed between the steel 44mm and 46mm shafts. From a drive cup durability stand point the 44mm has a tendancy to break off the end pieces while the 46mm has a tendancy to dig grooves causing some binding. I didn't notice any difference in steering between the stock shafts.
I used 300K CST (Xray) in my front gear diff and was very surprised at the amount of diff action. The laps time confirmed that the spool was faster. I haven't tried 500K yet but that should get you closer to the spool in terms of pull out of the corner and yet offer up the increased steering that you would expect from a diff.

I tried the Tune up and Roche cups they are a vast improvement over the original. Roche cups are quite short and fit the 46 only but clear perfectly with suspension movement. Tune up cups are long like the originals and fit the 44. Naturally they bind with the 46 under compression.
I think the 44 definitely drives nicer than the 46, and the Tune up cups are made from very long lasting material. I bent the mounting pins slightly to remove the slack. 3 months in, racing 2 or 3 times per week there is minimal slack, my car drives super consistent, and no retirements due to failure. I'm extremely pleased with this product and would regard it as an essential upgrade. One less thing to worry about.
Got mine here. Use Tamiya AW grease.
