That is a big question and ill take a try, see below:
Front End:
Lower wing mount
plus 2mm front tower
Aluminum bellcranks
Aluminum servo mount
Aluminum trail inserts
Carbon Electronics Plate
Rear End:
Stiffzell water fall
Vha rear end conversion
vha rear end pivots
plus 2mm rear shock tower
Whole Car:
Titanium Turnbuckles
3.5mm shock conversion.
Another thing to add is that most people are using thin pistons. They are an option and do not come with the elite. If you choose to keep the 3.0 mm shocks, look into replacing the internals with the v2 o rings and plastic parts. Overall, it is far more costly if you would like to convert to a full elite car. The vha rear end will make a difference so if your looking for a good upgrade i would recommend that however it is probably more cost efficient to just purchase an elite either new or used.

- VHA conversion kit
- Elite C/D block conversion kit
- Front Carbon +2 shock tower
- Rear Carbon +2 shock tower conversion kit (includes the rear shock mount)
- Aluminum servo mount
- SZL mud guards (although most people are running the SFT)
- 3.5mm shock body/shaft conversion kit
- Small front wing kit (although I’ve seen a lot of people go to the large wing because many break the small wing mount, and you have to buy the whole kit again just for the mount)
- Black aluminum rear camber link
- Titanium turnbuckle kit
- 1 set of the Aluminum 2/4 steering inserts
- and the Black anodized rear wheel hexes, but sorry, that part is exclusive to the DC Elite kit.
- Carbon rear wing button plate
EDIT: another poster beat me to it - I type too slow, lol... Ah, I forgot the carbon electronics plate, aluminum bellcranks, and SZL waterfall.
I’m pretty sure that’s it. Keep in mind that the DC Elite includes the slipper clutch setup, ball diff, and spring selection/oil for Dirt/Clay setups. This differs from the SR (which has the direct drive kit and light ball diff), and the AC (which has the G2 gear diff and spring/oil package for Astro/Carpet). A lot of Elite parts were 50% off during the Horizon Fall Into Davings event a few months ago. I’m sure a lot of people took advantage to upgrade their cars. I certainly updated my daughter’s SR.
