The parts that are supplied make the car good right out of the box. But the following are what I suggest once you get the car up and running:
#31286 Ball stud washer - To achieve most setups and can be used for arm spacing.
#4617 Bulkhead shims - To replace plastic clip spacers.
#31558 6 deg caster block - To achieve some setups.
#1401 Turnbuckles - To use camber link in the shock tower setups.
#31262 Silver anti roll bar set - To achieve some setups.
To race non boosted stock classes you will probably also need a smaller spur gear.

Just to clarify, you mean I can use the part below to replace the 31198 arm mount shims on both the front and rear bulkheads, correct?

There are socket head cap screws available in 2.5mm and I would suggest replacing the button head screws with these as they use a 2mm hex instead of the stock 1.5mm hex. Mine came loose and even lost one during the RROC. It created a ton of confusion until I found that it was missing the next day. My RCScrewz kit had the cap heads in it from another car and haven't had a problem since, no thread locker needed.
Any suggestions as how i could fix this would be very welcome

I dont think anyone has had this problem as worse as mine. Saturday, i bought my car, brought it home and started installing my spur gear. Tried to pull the shaft out. Screw 1 on the right side came out with ease. The second one, i managed to round off my hex wrench, so i tried the ball side. Worse to my luck, it snapped, jammed and rounded out the screw. Even worse to my luck, i dont have a dremel. The previous user (The guy i bought it off didnt use it) Put Threadlock in every screw making it extremely hard to remove any screw. It is now tuesday, and i am still trying to figure out a way to get this out.

The best way to remove pesky screws is a screw extractor and some heat. You should be able to find a screw extractor kit at a good tool store. The extractor is based on a reverse thread head which bites into the damaged screw and then twists it out.
