Schumacher K2 - Racing Spare
Good Morning Guys & Girls
My K2 roller will be up and running by Christmas, the Schumacher was initially purchased as a boyhood car of my dreams that I could never afford as a boy racing in the 80's and my initial intention was not race again After looking around and visiting a few race meeting in my area the racing scene both indoor and outdoors is vibrant and it would be a shame not to support this albeit as a rookie who may cause initial race day carnage. My question and I thank you all in advance for you help is what race spares should i be carrying for the K2, parts that a rookie will break but also general parts that a fat fingered person like myself my drop never to bee seen again, ie my LiPo battery nut, dropped several weeks ago and the assumption is that may tortoise has either eaten it or buried it....... you get my drift Lee

Hi, I would keep a set of front and rear wishbones, front top decks as they are the weakest point on the car, pivot pins front and rear and the pivot balls and just your normal screws and bearings, I have stripped a tooth off a side gear too so might be worth getting a pair of them as well
Cheers K

I’ve broken several front decks at the screws fitted to front bulkhead, you must be an excellent driver or very lucky!!

Thanks guys. Great advice as always, my car has alloy posit block so I assume it will be the weakest part of the impact site that will break ie wishbones. Interesting about the front top deck, i would never have guessed that would be a week point bit can see that a combo of captive ball joint and the multiple small holes could be a week point.
Thanks again guys.

The only things I ever broke was front arm's, front shock shafts and the shock protector.
I found the car was very strong apart from this ( but if you hit a corner marker at full chat, you expect something to give )
