Steering knuckle: I'm new to Mini also (M05). After my first outing (3 weeks ago) I needed to replace the front steering knuckle. It became deformed in a crash. I decided to go with the alloy knuckles for the front and the rear.

Body posts: I like to cut my body post to the proper length for the body I'm using. So, I can never have enough body posts of differing lengths.

Rims: Last, the lip of one of my rims cracked. I was told that the Suzuki rims are strongest. If you haven't already mounted your tires, you may want to look for a set of the Suzuki rims.
