Standard spares list that I always try to carry, could get away with less for sure, but I'm pedantic ;

2sets of wishbones
1set of 4° C-hubs
1set of rear hubs
1set of steering knuckles
1set of kingpins
1set of hinge pins
1spare 1XA block
1spare 1E block
1spare front belt
1spare rear belt

In terms of upgrades for the car to make more durable I would go with the following;

Split front 1C blocks (the front 1C's can bend in a crash)
44mm steel driveshafts for the front
Tune-up RC steel spool outdrives (44mm driveshafts can be used)
8mm Steel ball joints (for the rear hubs)

Upgrades for performance;
Front gear diff (just to give options, spool will be fastest in most situations)
HPI Springs (2sets silver, 1set blue, 1 set pink should cover it)
ummm.... not much else!
