What the weaker points on the car ?
Do i really need to upgrade anything while i am learning, or will the kit be fine for a few months ?
I have seen there is a wheel hex upgrade is this worthwhile ?
I will be running in 17.5 so it wont be too abused.

Nothing is really overly weak on the car. The plastic is kinda soft, so some people replace the rear ubrace and front top plate with the carbon versions. Otherwise spare A Arms and shock towers are really the only parts that break. But that is like any other buggy.
The parts I most often break are rear ball studs (black and silver), rear ubrace and front arms.
