I can only buy once, so I'll regret it if I don't try the T3 '11.

Unfortunately I don't know anyone that drives one and I have never even seen one outside of the internet, but hopefully I can come here for any help I may need Are there any spare parts I should order with the car? None of my LHS stock parts for this company so I'll need to get everything online. I would like to pick up a few spares if there is anything I am likely to break (I am a horrible driver ) I'll be running it indoor with a stock 17.5t setup with rubber tires on carpet.

Thanks to anyone that can give me some advice!!

i glued the pulley to the diff case with epoxy... drilled some notches on the diff case to have a better grip.
yet to test it if it holds well

Please forgive me if I'm missing out on something that I cannot see. Maybe some plastic welding might strengthen it up abit more.

then as i attached the reworked T3 pulley, i poured in epoxy to fill out the drilled out material as well as engulf the pulley plastic with epoxy material, hoping when it dries out, the pulley has gripped and embedded itself to the diff through those cut-out portions.
haven't tested it yet, dunno if it will hold.

there are many ways to fix the pulley to diff case, imagination/innovation would be our limit.
