Kyosho kit are stupendously expensive, yes you don't need upgrades but you don't with the Durango. But for piece of mind I got the machine cut crown gears when they were cheap they've gone up a little now not much though.
B44s are ok but the front shock shafts are the Achilles heal and bloody expensive too. Because of them being in a very venerable to impacts and the metal isn't great they snap inside the ball joint so you need them spare to along with shock bottoms plus springs if you loose them. The crown gears are expensive unless you order from abroad. Trackside spares are good but they aren't exciting to drive, you can push hard think you've done a good time only to find it was very average.
The Durango doesn't need to be pushed as hard to get the best out of it. The spares are very well priced in some cases cheaper than the rest.
The 511 seems good if you can get one but they are very expensive if you can get one. The spares are cheap as chips from Hong Kong.
SX3 looks good too but from what I've seen needs more maintenance than the rest plus spares aren't that cheap.
