It sounds like you have a pretty complete list there, but I would recommend aluminum bulkheads (Fast Lane Machine are nice). The bulkheads are a weak spot on the truck and they are a PITA to change, so you may as well make them bulletproof and forget about them (you will be glad you did). For the motors, it is a matter of opinion. The Feigao motors are the best for the price, but I prefer the Lehner motors myself. Lehner motors lay claim to most of the speed records out there as well, which speaks to the quality and power of there motors. The Pletts are nice, too, but very expensive.
