For the steering rods, use a guitar pick (I used one of my sister's old ones) since its cheap and lasts for a long time (the ones I made haven't broken yet, and its been about a year). And as for the metal gearbox, I never bought one and I personally don't know the benefits, so I'd personally skip that one since the stock gearbox is fine.

guitar picks? O.o.. i just cut pieces from the xmod body kit box.. lol

the 3r tranny it a big upgrade
a) it uses bearings for the spur instead of bushings
b) the stock tranny is known to eat your gears over time
c) its worth saving the gears after time...
