Out of the box and fitted with the kit motor the only "weak point" is inner hingepin mountings for the lower arms as the pins are held in by a plastic block that is relatively flexible. If you snag a corner it can pull the pin out so you'll "lose" that corner. Most times it all just fits back together if you can find all the bits out on the track. The 3Racing alloy mounts will fix this at less than half the price of the Tamiya upgrades.

All the other stuff only starts to become necessary as you put more power throught the drivetrain. The rear diff is a bit iffy once you get into motors lower than 10.5T (brushless) and a slipper is always a good thing to have but its not essential if you are gentle on the throttle.
