What parts should I keep on hand for my Big Rock??

[Darth Desec]

Hey everyone.

I’m expecting my Big Rock in the mail tomorrow.

It’s my first real RC and I was wondering what replacement parts/accessories/upgrades I should I keep in my tool box?

Thanks!

I'm not a vet here but I own a newer BR. In the past, I would say some arms for better stability, bearings...esp keeping an eye on the one bearing when you remove the power module housing. Lots of dirt get in there can go back quick.

On the new BR, I personally like the wider tires like the 2.8 Duratrax or Badlands would be a good upgrade.

Have some extra bearings always good. I have gotten trash like a fishing line in a field caught in my tire wheel hub and it ate up the wheel bearing rubber shield. So have a full set on-hand is good to have for replacement. There are more but I do not know how you will bask it to point in a direction.

Arms, shock shafts (front/rear) and a bearing kit.

If you want to get deeper, maybe a spur, motor mount and steering blocks.

Awesome. I’ll shop around. Thank you.

Problem is that it's a loaded question.. everyone will have different experiences and breakages.. so before you know it there will be a list here of pretty much the whole rig.....

Speaking of.. I typically keep everything on hand except drive shafts and electronics ..✌

That’s all good with me. I’ll probably pick up what gets suggested the most. Thank you!

Steering blocks, arms and maybe a bumper.

C hubs n drive shafts

From what I broke on my truggified Typhon 3s I would say a arms, driveshafts, front c hubs, front axle carriers, turnbuckles, tie rods and probably a chassis.

Be sure to do these things:

Be sure to set your steering end points and set your mesh correctly BEFORE you run it or ASAP. Watch these great videos by forum contributors and excellent YouTuber @razorrc

All of them. Sorry, that's just me who does that

Why buy one when you can buy two right?

Lol. I went way too fast. Right into the curb.

I put some super glue over it. Lol
