Are these all the part I should order and install before running it?

I got into real cars around that age. I'm 27 now. I started playing with these nitro cars because they were much cheaper. My first project was a 93 Honda Del Sol that had around 10k in parts. Had to sell it. Every time i took it out i got another ticket. In less than a year I only had 1 point left on my license....lol

I would buy the spring just in case but you should be ok. Like i said, i think they fixed the bell problem. Maybe a spare tranny too. That way when you do burn up a gear you can run the new tranny while you order a new gear..

lol...It actually sits on my shelf under a glass fish tank. Worth too much to ruin it. I saw they discontinued the r40 and most of the parts I bought too. Might be worth more someday. Who knows....

That's a good question......I don't know of a store that carries redcat/himoto and traxxas parts... I always went through redcatracing.com or Ehroof for redcat parts. I Can ask Ehroof to see if he has both but I'll have to get back to you.
Traxxas clutch and spring(clutch shoes won't work) 4146x
redcat gear set 06034
