Not everyone that races RC has deep enough pockets to have a whole other car worth of spares for multiple vehicles.
Yea i can understand that one. But like my LHS most of the time anyways they dont have it in stock so you need order things sometimes though its in stock. My LHS can order spare parts for me since where they order from like Tower carrys Tekno and Mugen .
But in the short run and long if you get a better quality truck or buggy it saves you money mostly dued to wear and the beefier plastics. So really a extra spur gear or diff and pinion is the only thing .
You wouldnt believe how much i had to replace on the Losi with hop ups mostly dued to fast wear.
