To be honest parts supply in the UK is pretty much non existent now which is a shame, since Lee Martin stopped racing for Tamiya it all went a bit down hill, saying that the cars are still competitive
The new 211 looks cool too new to get feedback on how it goes on UK high grip tracks, the design is traditional MM so prob not on the pace of the new breed of 2wds, KF2, YZ-2 etc
The 503 would be a good choice for 4wd or a 511, there are some for sale I know of if you wanted one
The 511 goes well and you can pick up a good car with gear diffs and spares for £150 ish
As for parts your best bet is eBay or the big HK shops, Stella models, RC mart and Modelbau in Germany has all the spares and hard to get items
With the exchange rate parts are so cheap and normally take a week to arrive , eg gear diff £12, wishbones £3-4, belts £7
Hope this helps
