Hi Steve,
I've only just been running mine for a few weeks but i am very impressed. They are seriously strong now, only thing i've broken have been a couple of balljoints in heavy impacts. They seem to brake instead of the wishbone which makes it cheap and easy to change.
1, I'm running the 08 version (big bore shocks) and its standard. Comes with ceramic balls, graphite chassis/wisbones and is seriously well put together.
2, Lewis and Yanina are very helpful and dedicated to getting bits to you so i don't think you'll have any grumbles as far as support goes.
3, As i said above, only broken balljoints really.. Because the shocks etc are all inboard theres no bits sticking out waiting to be ripped off when you put it on its roof. Its probably worth holding, wisbones, hubs, driveshaft blades, balljoints and spur gears as spares to start with.
As far as bits wearing out, i've only used it for 4 meetings and the only thing that shows signs of wear are the blades which are there to save the lightweight outdrives, so its worth keeping some of them in.
4, They stay very flat compared to most other buggies, but i would say you won't find a massive difference except for the fact they feel very precise. I really like the car and with the amount of effort the team is putting in for next year it should be good!
Hope that helps, but thats my limited experience... some people who have run the car for longer may be able to add to it.
