Personally i always use the futaba low profile servos. You can usually get them for a decent price, and long term you are better having a decent servo for the cost.
As MD said bearings a must.
Oh also upgrade the stock servo saver, either tamiya high torque, kimborough or something suitable....
After that i would consider some of the following not necessarily in this order.
* Alloy steering rack (often comes in two parts)
* TA-03 Ball Diff (i dont like M05 one) but sakura are coming out with an oil filled gear diff probably soon and if its legal for you i would DEFINITELY wait for feedback on that once available, if you are short of cash.
From there:
* Shocks, note if you use the kit shocks make sure you build them right like on the notes on www.rc-mini.net Look in the M03 pages.
* Universals are a popular choice

Then maybe steering rack.

You can not fit a regular lipo pack inside the M05 but never fear, Duratrax makes a wide range of lipo stick packs to cure this issue. I've seen 2s 25c 2000-4000mah lipo stick packs available. I own 1 of the Duratrax 2s 25c 4000mah lipo packs and it has been a great battery up to this point. I plan on picking up a 2nd pack after the holidays.

They also make a new 3800 50C with Corally plug that also fits in a Mini
Hope that helps

As far as we found out there is no difference between 20C and 40C in mini since we use ezrun 13T. Enough juice goes through the esc with 20C.
If you won't use the batteries in other cars then the cheaper ones will do just fine...

These work great, only thing is the balance wires are too stiff and breaks, I had to take out the cells and resolder the wires on lots of pack at the track.

Here's my MO5 Pro with ride WRX body
Very nice, wish I was able to do paint schemes like that. Where can you get those WRX bodies from?
On another note, whats needed to run the TA03 ball diff? Just the diff or do I need out drives and shafts to suit?
Just trying to get all the stuff ready for when the chassis shows up.
