Default List of Replacement Parts to Have on Hand for Team C TS2?

I apologize to make a new thread over this.. Couldn't find precisely what I was looking for in any of the older threads.

I need some help developing a replacement parts list (in case of breaks) for my new OFNA TSPro2 (just a rebranded Team C TS2 pro kit).

Parts to keep on hand:

I recall seeing a list like this somewhere, but I can't find it...
Any help is appreciated, even if it's just a general list and you don't specifically own the TS2

The only thing I've broken on mine is the front body post and body post mount. I used the rear of an SC-10 I had as a replacement. Make sure you have the upgraded front brace mount (there should be a screw in the middle of the mount) part number T02147 from Team C. Other than that I'd just get some arms, sterring blocks, hinge pins, rear mount brace, and shock ends.

Thanks for the response! According the e-mail team at OFNA, they are going to ship ALL new orders out with that upgraded front brace mount.

This is what I've decided to run in it:
Revtech 10.5 ROAR SPEC motor
Savox 1258TG servo
Brushless Hobbies 120A ESC

Is this a good combo?
And also, what should I use for pinion gear/spur gear?

Lastly, what about battery? I see i can use 6000mah size, I was considering the 2S 30-60C.. Good or bad idea?
Thanks

get a couple extra packs of the rear hinge pin balls too. They get sloppy fast and then the truck starts doing dumb stuff. I was going to try the Durango ones because they're metal instead of plastic but ended up just selling the truck.

Gearing is going to be dependant on the track. My kit came with an 87, so you might just want to order a decent range starting with 78 and maybe a 83, pinions I would have 20-25. As far as a battery I would just order whatever I could afford, there should be no reason you can't find a 50C for 40 bucks.

What are rear hinge pin balls?

Also checkout rcShox.com he has some nice pistions and slipper setup

You should be fine with that setup. I would start with a 20T pinion. Did the kit come with an 86T spur? It really depends on what you plan on doing with it and what size tracks youre at.

As far as C rating goes, get the highest you can afford. I run 60C's

OKay, appreciate all the help. I got this because I really wanted a kit (it's my first RC and I wanted to build myself) and it seemed like this was definitely the best bang for your buck.
Money not being an issue, I wish I had some kind of resource where I could figure out everything I need, all the suggested upgrades for the pro kit.. Just gets frustrating after looking for days on end at what I should have.. Being that this is a less popular model (although I know it's awesome so I don't know why) it's going to be a very tough first car to own.. I'm gonna need all the help I can get.

// end rant

Okay, thanks for the advice on the batteries. Is it true that my engine will burn out quicker if I use a battery with higher Cs? Like obviously I could go buy like an 80 or 100C battery but I see people recommending 60 and NOT that 100C. Why is that?

Most of my customers tend to get the T02147 New Front Chassis Brace

As for spares:
Front & Rear Arms


Hop-ups:
TU0210 Gear Diff kit (some want it, some don't, I love it in my Team C vehicles)
T02147 New Front Chassis Brace

The truck doesn't really need very many hop-ups. The shocks are amazing. It has aluminum in all of the right places, and is a very good value for a race truck.

Alright, thanks a bunch guys!

For the gearing you said to start with an 87 and get a 78 and an 83.. What is the difference? From what I understand it's the amount of teeth the gear has? Does less equate to higher speed and less torque? Also, should I get this in plastic?
And what does the pinion do?

By the way, the track I'll be racing on is pretty average in size, 2 good sized straightaways and the rest has a good amount of turns.. I'm thinking I'd rather have the acceleration and could care less about the speed.

Beacuse the 100C is a burst rating, the 50C to 70C is more of a continuous rating. You are not going to burn up the motor because of a high C rating, be more worried about the temp of the motor. So pickup a cheap temp gun from lowes or wherever and keep the temps under 150 to be safe.

Those are the number of teeth count. With the 87 the largest pinion that will fit is a 24, but with a 75 the smallest pinion that will fit is a 24. So with a pinions from 20-25 and spurs of 78,83,87 you can cover a good range of gear ratios for the track.
