thx
IMO... Must haves in order of importance are:

Bearings
Alum motor mount w/ the handlebar thingies and a fan
Any short spring set: old or new
Front shock tower
Universals

I didn't mention the ball diff (the diff is the most important) because you can use the gear diff and just fill it half way with putty.

The only important part of the entire steering hop ups for me is the
steering posts #54193 to prevent flexing. the rest of hop up steering stuff is eye candy
