where are you planning to race it?
The kit wheels are fine, and i'm not sure there are any others available!

Springs wise, a lot of people run Losi springs, but the Kyosho ones are ok. The colours will depend on what surface you race on.

Make sure you add weight to the front end, around 30g. Some people run the atomic carbon shock towers as these add a few extra mounting positions and are strong.
Ceramic diff balls also from atomic are a good addition.
B4 titanium turnbuckles are a direct fit and save some weight as the RB5 is a bit on the lardy side.
that's most of it really, the car doesn;t need much to improve it.
