Saw a recent video of Hara @ the IFMAR 08 or 09 regarding his setup he changed all the light weight options and the 112mm shocks!

Haha...
Hi Pitman,

The buggy run pretty well with the std rear shocks so I dun think upgrading it to 112 is necessary unless there are really big jumps.

Meanwhile my advice is stick to the stock car and upgrade it later when necessary.

Oh, that's great as we don't have to upgrade this and that to make it handle better, in another words we don't have to spent unnecessarily, thanks for the advice Joe.

But, by the way, Joe, he's Pitan (century egg...), not Pitman...

Get these parts:

Front and Rear Lower Arms
Front Spindle
Front Spindle Carrier
King Pin Collar/Bushing (for the Spindle)
Rear Upright
Spare Fuel Tank
Shock Shaft
Lower Shock Mount Screw (Counter Clockwise and Clockwise Screw)
Wing Mount
Shock Boot
Skid Plate
Front and Rear Bulk Head
Glow Plug

But getting the spares does not guarantee you'll complete in a final, many things will happen in a race.

Relax and have fun in the process is more important.

Good suggestion, but if you guys happen to break something and dont have spare, just come to me as I do keep some parts with me.

That's 1 long list! But I guess better safe than sorry!
I once heard a pro driver said "If you enjoy, you will get good lap times." Haha... But when I see the people at turf race like a war game like that! Haha... But I think it can't be help everyone is in a rush!
