(apparently RPM doesn't make arms for this little buggy...)

Pretty sure my WC came with regular arms.

I dont care for the front hex conversion. Considerable amount of additional weight and you lose the ability to shim the spindle. I'm taking mine off (Prolines) and going back to the standard front wheel.

I don't know if I agree with the weight thing. I will weigh parts both ways later when I get home and post back.

Front
Asc 30wt
Losi Red Spring
3 shims
in tower/out arm
camber links out on bulkhead, in on c hub
1mm on inner ball stud

Rear
Asc 27.5wt
Losi silver spring
2 shims
in tower/in arm
camber links out on u brace in on type C rear hub
no shims on inner ball stud

Works great for medium/high grip with gold or blue barcodes indoor. hybrids and rips when its dusty. 17.5 blinky class

Keep in mind I like PLENTY of steering, YMMV.

Proper tools

Tires.

25 and 30 wt shock oil. (27.5 and 32.5 too but the other two first).

don't get caught up in springs, pistons, batteries, any of that stuff now. Just get the stuff I listed and run the car until your eyes bleed and it hurts to touch the transmitter.
