About setup, I think you can start with my last setup( testing heemstede), car was really easy to drive!

Thank you for the file nicoo2k4, what side springs did you use? I see you used Ride BB yellow front springs, Where can I get those?

Are the arms or knuckles easy to break? What spare should I order? Many items have no picture on their website, and many items are out of stock including the battery O-ring......

*Knock on wood* parts are pretty sturdy.
I'd recommend bearings, 340082 side link holders, springs, center pivot, 340092 arm ball holders and the associated oring.

My car is almost ready.... just a few more questions. Roche has 16 balls in the diff. I saw Xray only has 12. What spur gear can I use in the Roche?

What's a good way to glue tires onto Tamiya wheels, especially the inside wall, to make sure it's straight?

Not a Roche driver, but those Tamiya rims will test your gluing ability to the max. Give yourself planty of time and patience....scuff inner and outer bit of top of wheel for glue to lock onto and as always use alcohol or some other cleaner to clean tire beads of mold release. At least in my case (where I didn’t know the scuff yet) it was an hour long process of glue and hold...it’s tough

hopefully someone has some further advice to make this easy
