TL;DR - Is there a list of stuff I should have on hand that will break regularly, or need eventual replacement?
I and my son have been enjoying this new hobby for the past few weeks, immensely. Went from zero RC experience to semi-addicted in two or three packs. Rudimentary skill, don't care that much since I just love tearing up the dirt and slowly learning how to launch this thing, but I'm paying the price. Not to mention that my son is 9 and also very good at driving into the wrong things.
Broken bumper, reach shock eyelet, and wing mount, thus far, and more coming I'm sure
The 9 bucks for new shock parts doesn't bother me, nor does the fact that I'm going to break things regularly, but waiting a week each time something breaks is something I'd prefer to avoid. Is there a standard list of stuff I should have on hand? Particularly interested in the "cheap but essential and likely to fail regularly" category, such as shock eyelets (?). LHS exists, but not very near to me, and is closed for COVID, so a shopping list would be much appreciated. Specifics welcome!
Naturally, I recognize that I'm asking this question out of total ignorance, so I would welcome responses that point me towards a different question or approach. And, I may learn how to drive better eventually, but the relentless bashing is really what I like about this so far
