How do matey. You should already know what bits to use but I would recommend ballracing the steering as it does make a significant difference, also you need to raise the steering plate to totally get rid of bumpsteer and maybe if you can get them the teamline castor blocks as well, but isnt really needed.

Slipper clutch I would recommend the ZXR Mk1 with a pad on either side of the spur gear as this is pretty much like what they use on the TRF511 and B4 so shoudl be ok for a 5.5 motor if using brushless. I wouldnt use a hyperclutch as I am finding that the only way you can is by locking the slipper up and that will kill your rear belts in minutes.

Ball diff is the way to go for clay as the gear diff works better on high grip surfaces such as carpet where its my preferred option. Pure ten is the way to go but finding a proper one at the moment is hard as I am unable to find any so I would recommend getting a standard ZXR one and upgrading the balls to ceraminc and that will be smooth. I actually think thats all that is needed to improve the car, that is unless you want to move the steering servo further inwards like what I did to improve the handling then not really much for you to do.
