I read that the general expectation on any buggy is the point where the suspension arms meet the pin so presumably the arms, the pin and the mounting points for the chassis are safe bets. Also I read that the suspension towers are the other bit. Are there any other areas it’s advisable to have spare parts for? |
Ive been driving PR for 3 years, my son and step daughter also race them, parts are cheap and to be honest - ive not broken one thing in over a year, i raced outdoor, mb indoor, southport indoor and have just come back from the silverstone GP where i rolled it all way down the straight - no breakages, they are really strong cars. hing pins dont really break on these cars, id you want to get spares, it would usually be front and rear arms, turnbuckles can bend or break ( no issues for me here ) and shock towers (again havent broken one yet on the PR Evo)
you can get the sport version new for about £150
or there are FMs ( the older car )
Type R ( last years car ) 80-120
Evo ( new car )
anything from 50 for the FM upto 150 for a used Evo
plenty of setup help about too
