Front hinge pin brace needs a fraction from it, its minimal. Manual also states that the steering base needs filing. Mine clears, its close but it doesnt need adjustment. Will recheck once the belts are run in and re tensioned.

Part numbers for replacement items are all listed. The belts are pretty much bomb proof. Ive never stripped one of the original items in 3 seasons use. Diff rings are from the TRF417 so these are readily available.
The kit has been developed with team driver feedback to optimise the car for lipo use. Remember the car was designed with NiMh cells in mind. The chassis is narrower and it generally places the weight nearer to the centre. Diff design is improved to prevent dirt ingress aswell as the change in pulley size. Rear (front) suspension pivots are also included. The Diff outdrives include flat surfaces to prevent diff slip that sometimes occurs on high grip surfaces.
