front wheel bearings
diff and axle bearings
steering blocks
kingpins
links
front springs
tweak springs
upgrade to aluminum left pod plate
tires, tires, and more tires
have a spare of just about all of the front end parts i.e. arms, steering blocks, axles, etc.
something like 30,000 diff lube for king pins (even heavier adds a damping effect to the king pin)
ask someone at your track what gearing they're running and start there. also ask them what they're putting on the damper tubes and what shock oil they have in. ask what tweak springs and center shock spring work best for your track.
that's some of the stuff that i keep around. hope that helps.

Thanks for the suggestions. I picked up Fred's GenXL. Looking forward to running 1/12th!

For club racing on asphalt, I start out with full sized CRCs right out of the box. The fronts always wear faster than the rears; so, they probably get sized as you note above after several runs. If it was an important race, I would likely cut them a lot smaller.
My typical f/r CRC tire combos for Nor-Cal Hobbies asphalt:
Purple/Magenta (high traction)
Magenta/Magenta (medium traction)
Magenta/Pink (low traction)
I run 17.5 ramped or 10.5 ramped.

Any meaningful answer depends on how good the traction is at your asphalt track.

It would be as small as I could get them and still have some traction compound working at the end of the run. Depends on the track conditions.
Just hook up with the pros for their takes on sizing and saucing.
Good luck!
