Not only the season for cars is starting. I think a lot of boaters and airplane guys can't wait to start the new season!

A good charger and good tools!!!!! With me I like to keep the part that will get the most wear in my box(arms, hubs, CVD's, ETC). Also Diff and shock oils. Different tracks and different conditions may warrant changes.

Clutch shoes, clutch springs, clutch bell, glowplugs, exhaust gaskets and springs and fuel line. I also carry enough parts to build a second truggy, but never end up needing them.....

Yes, bearings. Lots of them. Replace them early and often. Lots of problems can be averted by keeping things spinning freely....
