There are some shared parts but some are different. The tc3 was a much stronger kit, the 4 a little faster if you could stop tearing it apart. When the 4 first came out many quickly decided not to go there from the 3 as not enough changed for the better.
Team Associated webstore has some stuff and some Online places have aftermarket parts. Get a manual for the 3 and the 4 and you can see if you can sub the part in - but I'm pretty sure if they used the same part it has the same part# so you will know that way.
Spare arms!!! Front drive shafts hubs and carriers - its very hard to break much else.
But as bull said - keep an eye out for someone flogging a roller and parts - strip it and you have your spares.
