Soon after I bought it, I discovered that the local hobby shops do not stock parts for it-not even where I bought it. Right now I'm stuck with a 2wd Vendetta until the dog bone driveshafts arrive from Tower Hobbies. What parts break most often and what shoud I order extras of on my next order? I've thought about metal driveshafts-should I get the Duratrax or others I've seen on eBay? So far I've ordered driveshafts(plastic), adjustable turnbuckle tie rods, stiffer springs, body clips, 11 tooth pinion, extra screws, and 2 Duratrax 1200mah batteries. What else should I get?

spare upper front arms if you want to use plastic, or get the aluminum ones. These are the only arms I have ever broken on the ST. Also, get some extra shock shafts because I have bent a couple hitting the side of the track etc. Maybe some extra screws that hold the wheels on too. It is a PIA when you loose those. Oh, and def get a servo hold down.

For now, just light duty bashing in parks.

What do you consider light bashing... I jump mine about 3-8 feet during regular bashing and 15+ on Hardcore bashing. If you going to be jumping over 5 feet get some alloy arms.

yep.. alloy upper arms are a must
