List the top 5 parts you'd keep on hand during a session of bashing. I'm going to assemble the parts into a list to form a sort of "emergency repair kit". I have not broken any 5b parts yet so I have nothing to add

#1 Front A-Arms

#1- Lower front A-Arms

I'm going to say the nuts that hold the wheel on. If you put them on backwards or dont tighten them all the way, they will fall off! Fortuanatly on mine they are orange and easy to find.

I carry 2 sets of front A-Arms. Anything else will take too long to fix.

In no particular order

1) Front A-arms
2) Steering tie rods
3) E-clips that hold the front hubs in place

Nothing else really comes to mind in terms of something I'd want while bashing. I do tend to loose a lot of those clips though. Hit anything with the front wheel and the whole hub tends to pop out. It's nice that way though, nothing tends to bend (except sometimes the steering rods) and you can just pop it back together with another clip

Even the tie rods can be hammered back into shape easily.

If I break anything other than those above parts it's generally time to call it a day.

I second the "wheel nuts" and "E-Clips" commment. Lost a few myself, and always good to have (even if they are orange, I proved ya can't always find them- lol)
a few grubscrews and tie rods also would be good too as well as the lower arms, and a tail spoiler. Mine is completely destroyed. May also want a spare sparkplug or 2 and the plastic sparkplug cover part on the roof rail. It takes a beating. Makes me wonder why they didn't make the roof plastic, and the cover metal.

A spare pullstarter (or Two) , they tend to 'bind' when you race in wet conditions or very dusty tracks.

if im going to zip around for 20 min. i dont bring anything.. remote and 5b.. if im going out for a day of bashing at the kart track.. i bring everything i have, BUT, its just for looks. i dont need any of that crap. but really, i go thru alot of rear tires on the concrete and front hub e- clips are "kinda" common. you graze the side walls with an open wheel 5b and your going for a RIDE!!
so if i only had 5 things, this is what it would be:
1)rear tires/allen key
2)tire traction
3)front hub e-clips/1 wheel bearing
4) tuning screw driver(just incase)
5) gas and a reciever pack

YA HAVE TO LOVE LARGE SCALE... if it was a nitro, i would even bother leaving the house
