The quality of the car is lightyears above everything else atm. And I'm not saying this just because I'm a fanboy. I've tried many cars over the years and the 511 is without doubt the best car I've ever owned. Af Griff said, the standard ball studs are shit and will need changing to the hard hex ones. The turnbuckles are not very good either, but changing them are more for convinience. The standard ones are plenty strong, but crap to adjust.
The diff is very smooth, but does not last long. Especially on carpet. Its the rings that burn out, but they're only $3 a set.
The standard upper shock mount bushings in plastic will develop slop quickly. These can be replaced with metal ones from the DB01. Inexpensive and much better fit. Last a lifetime.
As for spares; front tower, caster- and steering blocks, diff rings and thats about it.
