1.) The 2-speed is a must!
2.) Doesn't your car already come with oil-filled shocks? Most do, and with the quality of the pureten cars, I think they come stock. But, if they do not, it would not be a bad investment.
3.) The full set of ball bearings would be good because the less friction, the more speed.
4.) This would be ok in my views, but I really do not think is a must.
5.) The fuel filter is good to have becuse it is another type of cheap insurance.

I think a 2 speed is the biggest bang-for-the-buck. Mine was like $50 or so and after I put it on I was spanking my friend's cars....Bad. Also if you don't have oil filled shocks I would most surtainly get them. Ball bearings are great too...they make your car roll smoother and theres alot less friction hence more speed! Good luck!
