There's also the HB D4.

Spares are readily available through Mirage.

What breaks/wears out... With a good build the drive train in any car should be bullet proof. Then you will only break when you crash....

One benefit of the B44 is that it's cheap

I'd also recomend the D4, have just bought one myself, only had one outing with it to date and it went well, it was nice to build seems easy to maintain (drop the diffs out etc) and on the track it felt nice to drive and very well balanced.
