Granite Common Parts List to order for Granite

[bicketybam]

I am trying to put together a list of spare parts to order for my Granite. There are certain parts that fall under the category of "not if they are going to break but WHEN they are going to break" and it seems that these parts are always back ordered. This is what I've come up with so far:

AR330447 - Shock Shaft EyeletSpring Perch Set - very easy to break the bottom for the front shock shaft where it meets the eyelet. If you lose the spring, that part number is AR330459 (Front Shock Spring). There is also a spring retainer clip that I lost when I busted mine shaft. You have to buy the whole shock parts kit to get it: AR330451 (Complete Shock Parts/O-Ring Set).

AR310799 - Spur Gear 91T 48DP 4x4 Mega - if you go brushless, sooner of later you will need one of these. Never in stock.

AR 310381 - Pinion Gear 14T 48DP Mega 4x4 - this is the stock 14t pinion gear. The 17t pinion gear is AR310383.

AR320401 - F/R Lower Skidplate (2) 4x4 Granite Mega - You will end up with plenty of spares for the rear because they make you buy both but the front is the one that breaks the most.

AR708001 - Flange Lock Nut M4 - wheel nuts tend to come lose. Axial AX31250 fit and come in a 10-pack. Traxxas 3647 also fit and come in an 8-pack.Either may be easier to source or priced better than the actual arrma ones (Credit to BattleShrink).

AR310784 - Wheel Axle (2) - tighten a wheel nit too tight and you will need one of these. Also used in the differential input gear mod.

AR310802 - Diff case, 49T Main Gear and 17T Input Gear (1 Set). - For when you snap the rear diff input gear. Again, they make you but a complete set so expect lots of extra parts.

AR310789 - Slipper Hub. It's possible to break the slipper hub if you tighten the slipper nut too tightly. https://www.arrma-rc.com/part/AR310789

AR310864 and AR310780 - Front and Rear Composite Slider Driveshaft Sets: https://www.arrma-rc.com/part/AR310864 and https://www.arrma-rc.com/part/AR310780

That's my list so far. Please let me know what else to add to it. Thanks!

Good list so far. I'm taking notes (and updating my wish list).

Definitely need the wheel locknuts. Axial AX31250 fit and come in a 10-pack. Traxxas 3647 also fit and come in an 8-pack. Either may be easier to source or priced better than the actual arrma ones. I've seen 4mm locknuts at Lowes too if you're in a real pinch.

I would buy better shocks when they break instead of constantly replacing the stock shocks.

Depending on how you drive and ambient temperatures, the motor may burn up sooner rather than later as well.

Good call on the alternate sources for the wheel nuts. I edited my original post to include that info.

Those traxxas locknuts work really well. My stock nuts kept loosening, but the TRX stay solid tight.

May want to add front and rear driveshafts to your list, I have had both front and rear come apart at the u-joints. I was able to put them back together and they have held up for a while but they eventually won't hold up. .

@bicketybam Yes sir!

 

[bicketybam]

@bicketybam Yes sir!

I added them. Thanks!

Blue Loctite will keep the wheel nuts on.

Might as well toss AR310773 on there as a placeholder...that is the heavy duty input shaft, whenever it actually materializes.

AR310808 is the slipper nut. I've done enough tightening and loosening that I think the threads on my nut are about to give out (hey-oooo). They come in packs of two, and are pretty much unsubstitutable I think...

How did you get them back together?
