The front and rear …
Its only necessary if someone is going to rear end you at full speed lol.
The front and rear bumpers use the same foam item, just get another one same as the front. Then you’ll need a spare plastic bracket – the same as at the front and a couple of screws. I made my own bracket at first from ‘plasticard’ before I bought a spare parts tree

Yeah, concentrate …
Yeah, concentrate on your exams first
It depends whether your going to use the shell a lot or just have it on a shelf. If you’ll drive it hard go for white one because white paint sticks better to the inside and it’s easier to repaint any bits that get chipped. But Metallic grey is probably THE definitive GT-R colour (aside from gunmetal-r32 and midnight purple-r34). Well both are factory colours anyway and both look great.

yeah man!!! …
yeah man!!! although i need to finish my exams for the shell! ITS WORTH IT!!! Just wondering should i paint the R35 white or metallic grey =]

Nope, it comes as …
Nope, it comes as the first chassis in the video minus the steering servo, receiver, ESC and battery (only electrics included is the motor). Sometimes an ESC is added. The TT-01 can also be bought ready to run (RTR) which includes everything including a transmitter and pre-painted shell

Unless someone gives me one, I don’t know
However, the overall concept is the same except the motor is positioned further forward and mounted to the front gearbox instead of rear on TT-01. Still, they are both electric, shaft-driven 4WD tub chassis 1/10 cars, both 190mm wide, both double wishbone, friction dampers – a lot of parts look remarkably similar. You can use the same ESCs, motors, servos, receivers, wheels (& bodies if you drill new holes).
It comes down to cost and availability
