Default essential spares

What would you consider to be the essential spares for a Durango 410v3?

The only thing I've broke so far is the servo saver, replaced with an alum version.

What other parts should I have in my tool box before going racing?

They're very strong and I only every broke 1 wishbone but I'd suggest inner and outer hinge pins (front and rear). Since the wishbones are bomb proof the hinge pins bend particularly the outer ones due to the diameter.

Driveshaft pins need to be changed regularly otherwise the CV joints will wear once they shows signs of wear they won't last long. The pins are cheaper than driveshafts. I changed mine every 8 meetings.

Front bulkhead set is a handy spare. If you crash upside down and the shock tower digs in either it will break or the bulkhead did. Where the screws go through the side into the upper brace causes a weak spot. That's the only spares I used to carry.

I have broke wishbones and snapped the hinge pins, front and rear shock towers and rear bulkhead (wingmount).

Hi there, I have broken a front wishbone before and they are very hard to get, so it might be good to buy a pair if you find them anywhere, so as you would have them straight away.
You might also want to get a few spare bearings as I blew the wheel ones out, after only a few runs.
