I think he's asking what should he stock up on because it takes to long to get parts when he has to order them offline.

You look like you have covered all the basics already. I know it's going to hurt the wallet if you really wreck with all the alum parts on your truck.

Post some pics!!!

If it takes awhile to get parts I would get a second set of some of the more common parts in your truck. If your A arms break and you have the stock ones to go back to until you can get a replacement.

This would be in my garage if I had to wait as long as you for extra parts.

1. Extra tranny or at least some gears to rebuild.
2. Extra set of wheels.
3. Extra front and bulkheads. (with all the metal in the suspension this will be the first things to go after a hard landing).
4. A few extra spur gears.
5. Air Filters
6. Exhaust header (I have two on hand because this is a weak point on the REVO.)
7. At least one axle carrier.
8. Fuel tank rebuild kit. The seal will start to leak in the tank lid. $5.00 USD from Traxxas


If you haven't upgraded your servos to better ones you might want that on your list as well. The stock one are decent but it's better to use something like hitec (can't think of the model number off hand. Look at some other post to get it)

I know this list is long but as you said it takes awhile to get parts in for you. These are just some parts that I have bought in the past. If you are plannig on racing then I would lose all the metal and start getting some RPM parts like a arms. Also if get a bigger motor. I still run the 2.5r on my REVO but everything is plastic. You can also get some of these pretty cheap on ebay. I bought a whole tank for $4.00 on ebay with $2.50 shipping one time. Most of the parts from the 2.5r are the same on the 3.3 so don't let someone get you by saying it's for the 3.3 only.
