you'll be needing glue for your tires to the wheels. and grease for various areas in the build like diffs and shocks and a few other spots maybe. the glus is CA superglue. like losi or proline glue. and the grease you will want a thin,waterproof, beraring grease. you can buy that from a parts store if you like alot for more for the same cost as a grease from a rc company. also when you build your filter use that same grease on the ends of the filter where it contacts the solid plastic ends, this will prevent dirt from entering your motor form under the filter. there is post with some pics that explains that part very well in the racing forum under the phoenixazracers thread.
