I am asking for help by anyone who drives a 8.5 pro for advice on what parts to stock up on. I have not had mine for long and i don't know the usual culprits in this buggy to watch for. What parts seem to go out the quickest/easiest in this buggy? Also, if you guys know of anyplace to get that particular part really cheap, please let me know. Thanks

clutchbells bearings first, it eats up clutchbells bearings for some reason. after that arms, diffs, cvd's, wing, knuckles, and by then chassis. i would stock up on parts in that order little by little. theres a couple chop shops on ebay that sell the parts pretty cheep.

I have both the Hyper 8 pro and the 8.5 pro. I do not have any trouble with the CB bearings but do keep them as well as the other bearings in my pit box. I normally replace my CB bearings every 1 1/2 to 2 gallons to be on the safe side. The other bearings I replace when the start feeling rough. The Hyper 8 and 8.5 is very durable and I have broken very little. What I did is go to eBay and start buying stuff I would get a real deal on.

Thats what i am doing also, lol. I just did not want to buy something that would sit in my parts box forever and never get used

Like I said I have broken very little so I guess you do not need to get much. I take enough parts to the track to just about build a whole other buggy as well as take my Hyper 8 as back up.
