What spare parts are a must if you cant afford to buy two cars right away?

I have between 8-10 gallons through my car. I'm an experienced driver but took a few years off and have been pretty hard on the car at times due to kinda getting the grove back then having a spaz moment and crap happens quick. 1 spur gear, all cvd/dog bone boots, 4x10x0.3mm shims(114776),kingpins(109855), 8x16x5 bearings(all),steering block bushings(111736),bent 1 wing mt, several wings, m3 nuts, shock ends(67351)Broke 2 in 1 day same jump, lost pan head screw m5x8(100550), radio tray not latest version, Chassis bent on a 25+' jump(picked up 2 new on ebay for 60$). Other than the chassis it hasn't been that bad. and I accept responsibility on that. Also bent an upright the same time I broke king pin.

I'm going off what my 10 year old has done. I would get spare front drive shafts, inner hinge pins. Front shock tower, front ball ends, king pins, and front arms. Get carbon rear inserts for stock arms. Aluminum steering servo horn. Get good 8x16x5 bearings. I use NMB.

Option stuff- Get yellow and blue front springs. Get blue, white and gold rear springs. Sway bar kits, and hard arms

How bad was the crash then?

Chad Phillips

haha. i guess, i should have been more detailed. that wasn't for 1 crash. that is stuff he has bent over time. front arms. he has just ovaled the hole.

That makes more sense haha, what kind of wear have you had on the car? a few people seem to mention that it wears alot, what needed replacing often? thanks

Chad Phillips

I am not sure what people are saying wear. the diffs in my car are over 2 years old. same ring and pinion gear. same internal gears. the outdrives are super hard. they hardly wear. i replace them like once a year. The slop in the arms are like that on purpose. its so if dirt gets in there. the suspension is still free. My ride height always remains the same once i set it. The only thing that really wears is center drive shaft pins. It really isnt that bad either. Also. If you use CVDs and dont keep them clean and lubed regularly. they will wear out prematurely. The uni's are solid. I end up wearing out plastic screw holes from taking things apart and putting back together before i wear out our metals. The only thing i would REALLY suggest. Invest in good bearings. NMB is what i use for 8x16x5. the big bearings. i use Kyosho. clutch bearings i use TKO black/blue sealed ones.

Good day guys. Does anyone have the part numbers to try and duplicate David Ronnefalk rear shock tower set up? I understand you need different shocks as well?

I've been running frt shocks all the way inside for months. Someone's been watching. Lol Just went to shocks w/o bladders and am loving it. The better my driving gets the more steering I want.
