This is for a CEN GX1 for anyone that can help. 
I am wondering what most of you guys use to repair some of the plastic suspension pieces if they are cracked, but seem easily repairable by gluing or something of that nature. I don't really think it is worth it to completely replace the part.
My next question is where can I get a replacement wheel for it? I know this is probably easily found on the site, but I don't really know where to look and I am a beginner. Any help would be awesome! Thanks in advance!

It would depend on where the crack is. If it's on a hinge point, like where the lower control arm attaches to the chassis, I would recommend just replacing the part as parts for that car are very cheap. You can get a whole control arm set for $4.99 from www.toyhaus.com They have very reasonable prices, and have great customer service. I had an old SP1, and had a broken front hub. I could not find anywhere to get the replacement part, so the car sat for a couple years till I found toyhaus. Then within a week, I was running it again. As far as the wheels, you can get the wheels pretty much anywhere. They should be the standard 1/10 scale touring car hex hub wheels. Hope this helps.

Sweet thanks for the help!
I broke the plastic hinge for the rear suspension on one side so I guess I will replace the whole piece. I found a diagram that shows all the pieces on the car here.

I think I need to get part GX53: the rear transmisson housing. It looks to have the hinges on it, so I will have to get that whole piece. Does that look right to you?
Also could you point me to some good cheap wheels that would work for my car that are the same size. I can take the tires off of the wheels I have and put them on the new ones only. I only really need 1 wheel but it looks like most come in pairs. Thanks again!

Not too sure what you mean with the suspension. A pic of the broken part would help a lot. As for wheels, here's a link to cen's wheels: http://www.cenracing.com/accessory.html#wheel

Sweet, I think I am just going to order a wheel and try fixing the other piece the best I can. It should work well enough. I just want to get it moving again.
