Yeah UK support is very very thin on the ground, and the kit over here is very expensive!!
Spares wise though, RC Champ will get the parts to you inside a week and always did hold a lot of stock too, so it's not too bad for going abroad!
Plus, I carry as many spares as a shop anyway if anyone gets stuck!!

I got my kit from Stella, in fact I buy all my Tamiya kits there, they have excellent service, and speedy delivery!! Sadly they don't stock a huge range of spares though!

Chris, stella models stocks a lot of the spares I ordered some last week, you need to look under db01 not trf511,as the parts are optional for the db01, for example front suspension arms here:

front hub carriers here:

I needed some after my tq on the 7th at jarrow;)

Stella - http://www.stellamodels.net/catalog/default.php
RCMart - http://www.rcmart.com/catalog/
RCMushroom - http://www.rc-mushroom.com/
Chassis and spares are available above. Basically the answer to your question is "Hong Kong".
Just had all of my 511 kit and parts successfully delivered from the above suppliers.
been speaking to fusion hobbies, and now, if they can't get it from Hobby Co, they will source the parts from HK for you!
