Thank you

I suggest ordering 97021h ball ends. These are what most of the team drivers use because they are a lot more rigid then the stock black ones. We use the middle size that comes on the tree in the rear of the fs2. Hope that answers your question.

It's not exactly the same arm, you have one hole for shock mounting on the RB5 SP2 instead of 2 on the ZX5-FS2

Thanks!

Does the FS2 and SP have the same rear universal length too since they share the same rear arm? Or, does the FS2 and SP2 share the same rear universal length but different arm lengths? I'm confused

The rear arms, the motor centering kit (top shaft, rear motor guard, spacer) and the rear hubs.

I run the blast wing. Just make sure you cut it down a little more in the back on out door tracks that tend to be windy like HR normally is.
