Default predator spares

Just been testing my x11. Am well pleased with the way it handels and jumps. But stripped a rear diff and broke a front arm. All in a days playing and seeing how far i can push the car
but was just wondering what spares people carry and is there common weak points that do break regularly

yeah the main diff gear, oh well ahve ordered some spares too lol, am running a venom 7.5 with vampire 5400 lipos, goes like sh!t of a shinney teflon coated shovel. gotta sort out the front end as it digs in on cornering and flips, going to try thicker oil and removing the spikes off the side of the tyres

The transmission is very efficient! What tires are you using? And on what surface?

Are you running the full nose cone. We always cut that down as it does tend to spear the ground on landings and some bumps.. There will also be a new bumper out soon which will sort that out. I'm expecting stock soon.

Its running b/buggy green on bumpy astroturf. It was damp yesterday and the yellows didnt work as well. Looking at it now i should have tried blues on the front. Might have stopped the digging in.

it has the cut down nose come on it already and a few other bits and bobs i can see. And more than likely more bits i cant see lol
