Hello
I'm a newbie and picked up an Arrma Granite 3S BLX.
So far love the vehicle but was curious of what parts
I should consider "stocking up" on in the event some are prone
to breaking more than others.
I seen some videos where the wheelie bar/wheels have broken
off but that was under extreme conditions. I'm finding the wheels
and the spring but not so much the part the wheels attach to.
In any case thanks
 
I'm a newbie also.i started 4 days ago and I dedicate a few hrs a day for play time
Also what battery are yall using for yours
This is what I'm using

Welcome to the Arrma Fam!

Here’s a good running list of upgrades you’ll want to have soon:

Better radio (if you have STX2)
Better servo
Better servo saver
Rubber sealed bearings, including steering rack (some suppliers leave these out)
Shocks that don’t leak
Adjustable motor mount
Steel spur
18T pinion
17mm hex adapters
17mm wheels and tires
Better front bumper

Things that will likely break:

A-arms
C-blocks
Hubs
Shock towers
Chassis
Yokes (if you don’t get bearings soon)
Driveshaft u-joints tend to pop if you have your slipper set too tight

What this list represents is what I’ve had issues with. I would replace as you break them. The first three are gonna happen if you jump. The rest can be prevented with decent driving or timely maintenance. It all depends on how hard you bash. Parts are cheap, but they add up quick.

Enjoy!

For a speed run you can go up to 20T on stock electronics and tires, but it will eventually overheat. You can’t run a whole pack at top speed.

For continuous bashing with stock electronics and tires, 15T will finish a pack before thermal, but an 18T will get there if it’s not too hot out or if you add some fans.
 
Also I got an extra granite if anyone interested
