I would buy the following to have on hand:

1.) an extra glow-plug
2.) glow-starter and charger if you don't have that already
3.) threadlock
4.) I assume it comes with a pistol starter? If so, you need a battery and charger for that too.

I don't know what batteries you mean there, but generally, a standard 1600MaH NimH hump pack is great for getting the job done. I like mine with BEC plugs...

A decent set of hex tools is always good to have for RC.

ORIGINAL: cummins driver


ORIGINAL: HerrSavage

Then there's this, which happened after landing from about 1 1/2 feet up at quarter throttle
Sounds like exactly the same way my losi cracked the engine brace And that costs $20 and a little bit of dissasembly to fix.....
Not to mention that the part HerrSavage broke is an add-on, not a stock part. It's also included in one of the kits as an option part. The stock, non-adjustable arm is nearly impossible to break. For those who need an adjustable upper, the old standby is two HPI Hellfire steering rod ends and an appropriately sized turnbuckle.

That was a stock XSS arm, all new parts right out of the box. I later used the old 25 RTR non-adustable arms I had laying around from that, my previous Savage..

Shock towers, body mounts, a new clutch system, FUEL, lol.
There's a few with the MGT 8.0.
Sorry but my MGT has broken almost every time I've driven it.
This may not be the case with yours, but mine is currently awaiting a new clutch and CB, since the original one melted into the CB.
So, after awaiting the engine to be warrantied (6 months) , now the clutch is trashed.
Keep us posted on your adventures.
