So, I picked up an RTR today for my son, who's super stoked and can't wait to run it at NorCal hobbies. For those of you who own one or own something similar, what are the most common parts to replace. I just want to be able to have some parts on hand in the event my son breaks a few. Sorry to ask such a trivial question, but I'm totally new to the whole short course scene. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks for looking.

Get a RPM front bumper 1st thing before you run it at the track.

I have a FT SC10 and I'll be completely honest, I've never broke anything! I'm an OK driver though. Front arm, caster blocks,hub carriers, and maybe some body posts, would be on the top of the list if I was going to get some spair parts. Bassically all of the front suspension stuff that rides on the arms. Welcome to the hobby and I hope he has fun!

rpm ball cups are a good thing to have, and i have never broken anything either but a couple of spare arms are a good purchase and if a a-arm is broken it is more than likely that a hinge pin is bent, so a set of hinge pins are always nice to have

That's really it. You shouldn't need any shock towers or anything. Stay away from aluminium parts... they instead of breaking they nromally will take out a more critical part, and bend in the process. My opinion of course
