When you say 'modding it' what do you mean? Looks, durability or performance?
If its 'look' then light kits, bling wheels etc. then fine.
If its durability or performance you are after I would suggest some track time first. See what breaks on the car when standard. The last thing you need as a beginner is speed, you will find you need those parts sooner than you think! Besides, we only allow kit standard silvercan motors and that is fast enough. We aren't bashers doing high speed runs, tyres and gearing is what we play with to improve lap times.
Your TL-01 will need a full bearing kit as a minimum. Then, to ensure the car is competitive, the tamiya speed tuned gear set part no. 53342 and a 21t pinion (0.6 mod). Maybe change to a 23t pinion when you achieve consistent lap times. Tyres, use the kit ones to start with.
