If anyone has had a 22 and raised the tranny for more rear bite, you'll know what I'm talking about.

For spares, maybe some wing mounts, ball cups, and some arms. Doubtful you'll go through many arms though. The others will break with a really hard hit.
I have found that you need to decide between forward or lateral traction. High roll center helps a lot for having great forward traction.
