There are loads of threads on what shocks to get (those X2c ones for £30 is a gift, take his arm off!) - best bet I found was the super-cheap big bored for the FTX Vantage, under £30 new for the full set. A set of Tamiya Aeration shocks off ebay works out around £46.

Apart from the bearings, the car is good to go. It's very easy to setup and drive, and jumps better than a B4!
