Hey Sean, looks good man

As for tyres, our heat has currently made a unanimous switch from foams to rubbers and I cant get the things to work at all - this thread is probably your best bet, I'll let you know as soon as I get mine to work.

As for foams, I had success with Tamiya, Zen, 3Racing and one other brand for which the name escapes me. If you're buying tyres with a shore (hardness) rating aim for something like 35 on the front and 30 on the rear - always go one compound softer on the rear is the generally accepted setup.
