Haven't seen any shops yet that stock the spares, they should be in soon i think with stella, rc mart etc.
Several of the parts that you want to have as spares are either the same or they will fit from older cars.
Most of the breakable suspension parts are the same as the older cars, the rear hubs are different but older parts and option aluminium ones will fit.
Front axles with the ring around it are a bit tight in the aluminium caster blocks so they might rub agianst the block when the parts have a bit more slack from use, but they do fit.
Older shock towers will change shock positions but they will fit the 503.
Gear diffs are mostly the same but the pulley is bigger, so that will not fit.
Internal gears and outdrives are the same.
Parts that you might want as spares that do not fit from older cars are just belts, diff pulleys, maybe the center pulley but the old system with the plastic pulleys will fit the 503, think the entire slipper assembly from the 511 can fit into the 503, and a set of shocktowers.
