My t4, the truck version of your buggy has been very reliable. The tranny seems to handle power just fine, and for a racer, It seems very durable. The only time I've broken mine was running into a curb at full speed. I cracked the chassis in half, but It must not have been that bad because I'm still using it! [8D]

you would want some spare....
front a arms
rear a arms
front shock towers
rear shock towers
spur gears
diff gears
front bulkhead


and i think thats all ya need
only thing i broke was the front bulkhead on my t4

but those are usualy what breaks most on other cars/trucks

I have a factory team B4..

Definitely front a-arms...Get the regular arms instead of the carbon ones..
Carbon ones are lighter but they are more brittle than the plastic ones...
Spur gear...

A-arms cuz ull always hit stuff.
Spur gear cuz ull always lose a spur gear from time to time..
Better to have spare parts than none..They are cheap anyway..

I got 3300Gp's at Radio Shack. They have lasted me a year and still have plenty of power. The only thing done to them was I put deans plugs on. $27 including the plug, not bad.
