To have a competitive TRF501x you need the improved drivetrain, ceramic diff balls, front one way, another screw set (titanium is the best), other ball studs and ball cups.
Do a search and you will understand what I'm saying.
Believe it or not but when you race a car you will need lots of spares (almost a second car) to keep your car going.

"need the improved drivetrain"
No.
"need...ceramic diff balls"
No, but extends diff life.
"need...front one way"
No, but improves steering.
"need...another screw set"
No, but OEM screws are soft.
"need...other balls studs and cups"
No... Kyosho ball cups work with OEM ball studs just fine.
"you will need a lots of spares to keep your car going"
False. My 501X eats rear belts but that is about it. Wear items like belts, center pulleys and diff rings are about the only spares you will need if you are a good driver.
