About the suspension. Why "race" version shocks are dificult to built? I have never built a kit before, but i have seen that Schumacher manual is very detailed.
Blades - U1918 are the "old style" tan coloured blades, much better than the black ones.
Driveshafts - if you want to shell out the money, replace the front shafts with Mi4CX steel ones (U3823), but then you also need the CX spool (U3825). In all honesty, the stock shafts and blades are good enough, if you don't run mod and stay away from the boards, just stock up on the blades.
The problem with the old style shocks is that air gets trapped in the cap during building and later find it's way into the oil. Air in shock oil=no good. It's also difficult to get all shocks to have the same rebound.
