B2 Brace. Yes
LCD's. Only a necessity if you are running a one way diff, I use Losi Aluminium CVD's on my X-5
Belt roller bearing. Yes
Carbon Shock Tower Braces. Definitely Yes!

I run a DCRacing/Lesro one way in my x-5

Front and Rear towers and wishbones are XX-4, the rear tower has to be modified to clear the belt cover.
I use the X-Factory kingpins and haven't broken a wishbone since fitting them (although saying that has probably cursed them!) I also have the B2 brace on the front wishbones.

Do you mean tensioner or idler?
The kit is supplied with a single idler, unfortunately Losi have discontinued the parts used in the X-Factory Dual Idler Conversion, if Lesro have any left I suggest you get one from them.
I was advised by a couple of Team Drivers not to use the XXX-S aluminium motor clamp as it damages the chassis (they were right
)

The Spur is 48dp and is an X-Factory part.

An X-Factory mod, highly recommended.

The worst culprits are Losi parts, so should be easily available.
Front wishbones.
Front spindles and carriers
Front and rear shock towers.
It never hurts to carry a CVD rebuild kit as well.

No problem, happy to help.
DCRacing now has an excellent stock of X-Factory parts and many of the other mods mentioned.
