I love them but am biased ;-)

The LRPs will be great in there. Just make sure you follow the esc set up in terms of timing an punch and all will be good, also worth having is one of the motor heatsinks which are only a few quid.

Rebuild the shocks with a oil that better suits your track as the stock stuff is a little temperature sensitive.
Some people have not been mad on the stock Pivot Balls but in fairness mine have held up and had some serious hammer but if you do have an issue the Ghea ones are Ace!

There are a few options that are nice but certainly not must haves but isnt that always the case..

You will love the whole brushless eighth concept esp if you have run rallycross as its just so much smoother..

Caster do one pictured below which is ideal but a normal 540 one fits as the motor is the same diameter (just longer) so long as its chunky enough to draw enough heat away.
