Gotta completely disagree with your diff oils. Yes, use diff oils rather than grease, but 30-100k is too heavy. I'm running 15k F/10k R in my 5T conversion. I could see maybe going as high as 30k/20k, but 100k? I don't even use that in my CD for my RC8Te!

Even better than zip ties is to use the roll bar kit. It has some neato hinge pin capture parts that HPI really needs to sell seperately (and include on all Savage vehicles)!

Yes to the HD drive gear.

And tighten the slipper nut down tighter than HPI instructs, probably about a 1/4 to 1/2 again as tight. And get a couple of sets of spare slipper pads and nuts.
