good luck with our build . for answers to most of your questions, mid tank, and wing look to platinumrc they havemost of what you need. for tires i would recommend badlands if you are running off road, from my experiance they are very good

id recommend the smfstore hex screw set. i got 2 of them. they have everything https://www.hpisavageforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8851

you gotta have good hex wrenches. these are my favorite set so far https://www.hpisavageforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11298

at some point you will need bearings here are great bearings at unbelievable prices https://www.hpisavageforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10575

get a decent 1/2" drive metric socket set that has at least 5-10mm and an extension so you can wrency your tires & slipper nut. i got a great Husky set at the depot for $10.

obviously tour gna need a big tool box and a dremel is a very good idea there one of the most useful tools for r/c and loads of other stuff. what i have is a large tray thing that i work in so i don't get fuel stains everywhere.
