This is my new buggy. First 1/8 buggy (I had a 1/18 before). I have only bashed this buggy so I can't wait to take it out to the track. Also this is my first paint job I've ever done. I'll have to post the pictures later

I'll just post links because I don't think it's working. Never mind I got it. Haha

What parts have you guys broken or what parts should I stock up on if you haven't broken any parts because I have no part support in my area. Thanks.

Also does the 2050kv motor accelerate faster than the 1900kv motor?

These buggys are tough, I would say hingepins, Toe block inserts, maybe some shockshafts, arms dont really break just change them when worn. And the normal maintenance items like diff and shock orings and gaskets. Maybe a spur but set right their tough to,
Hope that helps

Just to reiterate what was mentioned above about the Universals vs. the CVA's, as well as provide some FYI, based on my recent experiences.
My local track is an outdoor, rough, medium traction track. The minimal testing (due to rain over the past 6 weeks) that I've done, made me feel that the Universals were an improvement over the CVA's with little to no other suspension changes.
2 1/2 hours north of me is Flowood R/C in Flowood, Mississippi: an indoor, relatively smooth, high speed, hard packed surface. There's a huge Tekno presence there, with some very fast local racers (both sponsored and not). To my knowledge, none of them have been running the Universals (just yet).
I've raced there twice with the Universals and practiced a third time where I wanted to go back to back (Universals to CVA's) to see the difference. Long story short, my top 5, 10 and 15 lap averages dropped just a little over 0.5 seconds going from Universals back to the CVA's. Track conditions changed very little (if at all) in between these 2 tests. No other suspension changes were made during this test. Just simply running a battery with Universals, then swapping them for CVA's the next battery. I was faster with the CVA's.
I'm not saying that I couldn't have made some other changes to quicken the car up on this track while running the Universal's. I simply chose the CVA's as the racers that I am chasing down have long been running CVA's and going plenty fast with them on this smooth, high speed surface.
I hope to do the same back to back testing back at my home outdoor track. Just can't catch a break in this weather pattern that we're experiencing down here.

I'm very close to stock setup, and my lap times did go up by a few tenths. However, my car felt more consistent and predictable.
As others said, the universals freed up the suspension and made the whole car feel softer. So I'm going to stick with them for now. I should be able to tune more with the shocks and sway bars.
