Nice find. The kit version has some of the same parts as the RTR and also some up-graded parts.
The lower links should be metal and the upper links will be plastic. The upper links are reasonably sturdy and don't need to be up-graded immediately. The plastic steering links on the other hand are terrible and will drive you crazy until you up-grade to metal. If it came with the Axial stock servo, that will need to be replaced sooner than later.
The transmission will have a plastic idler and output gear. The drive gear is metal so if you can find Robinson Racing gears to replace the idler and output gear you should be good to go. I've run the Robinson gears with the Axial drive gear with no issues.
The driveshafts should be WB8 HD and are about the best stock driveshafts IMHO. I'm still running mine on my original Wraith.
The front axles should be universals rather than dog-bones and the diff will have the heavy duty locker. Not the best locker but should hold together until you feel the urge to upgrade.
If it has the stock Method beadlock wheels they are okay to start with. I used those with aftermarket metal hubs on a cheap build for a friend of mine and he is still running them. The stock tires leave a lot to be desired depending on the type of terrain you will be driving on.
Get the electronics in there and get out on the trails and rocks. And try to keep the grin off your face "thumbsup"
