40's might be to hot a tire for carpet. ei no grip cause they wont get hot enough. better ck with others on the correct numbers. jaco blues are 32 deg tires. Figure 32 deg and cooler might be the tires to get for carpet. might want to get better feedback from the pros..

steering hubs, rear hubs, c hubs, the lil bushings that go inside the c hubs.
these seem to be the most that brake in Tc.


X-RAY- lower arms."c"hubs,driveshafts,shock parts.shock oils.maybe bodies for t/c's

bodies, tires, roar batteries. Offroad same deal, vta same deal.

SC10: bulkheads, a-Arms, Pins,

I added the A arms for sc10 I have already broken 3 of them.
Why waste your time with x-ray when the biggest distributor is 5 miles up the road.

yes Nexus is up the road...but say you are racing there that day and a you break a part that you don't have. which would you rather have...the racer go home for the night OR the racer go into the hobby shop and by the part and stay and race and then have a good feeling about the track?

just my opinion but hey what do I know i'm an internet troll anyway and my opinion don't count

If I broke something I would want to buy from the hobby shop I was at fix it and keep on racing, but that's just me I guess no hobby shop can stock everything but think they like to stock what people will use.

That was the point of my posts.Nexus is a very large parts distributor for X-ray but they won't allways be available when you guys are racing.I wasn't suggesting to stock great quantites of the common parts that break on race day but a few lower arms ,C hubs and the like would keep those of us that can't afford to keep a complete stock of spares on hand to stay race when the accident breaks something.

Do you actually race anything, or just drive around on a driveway?
