I can assure you it's a fantastic package, obviously as a conversion it won't be X2C money BUT, in my book it is a big BUT, the Kyosho components it uses are near bullet proof so you should not be reaching for your wallet again for a long while after purchase. As previously stated Tony has had the thumb screws out on the suppliers to get it out at the best possible price.
I would carry 1xUM566 wishbones, a set of knuckles/caster blocks & a steering rack (all in pack UM505B), 1xUM519-2 (I believe it is those not the UM519 that is being used on this car) ... that is all ... well less than £30 of spares at full retail.
Never broken a Lazer rear tower (since 2008) and only done one RB5 front tower since 2007 (and it was a hell of a head on smash) and the Lazer transmission is awesome; 6 months between diff rebuilds and I have a set of gears that are 3 years old and still running sweat!!!
I'm migrating from my own design of RB5 mid-motor, Scorpion, to the DB1 as the stopwatch doesn't lie!!
