I have loads and my diffs are fine

Yeah. I bought a full spare diff to make oil changes easier, and to make sure i had a spare if i blew an outdrive, which I haven't, but others have.
I bust a rear upper link end doing jumps on the track after a meeting last sunday.
I've started to replace worn bearings now i'm outside.
I bust an original front bulkhead, but already had the upgrade spare ready to go.
Rear wing mount ends break easily. I've now placed a rubber washer under the wing, which seems to stop the sharp edges pushing through wings. I've replaced my kit wing with an R1 wing.
A mate has gone through an ali front lower suspension holder after a hard impact with something solid.
My first meeting with the car, in practice a mate caught the front corner into a wall at speed by mistake, and took out a front wishbone, bent arm pin and an eccentric bushing. I didn't have spares at the time.
I've found the car bulletproof though. Just last meeting I hit a parked car on the straight at full throttle (no one shouted it was there, and my view was blocked by transmitters and hands). Just popped off the steering rod, no other damage! I suspect other cars would have been in a sorrier state.
