What parts to have spare before going on track? - 05.12.2009, 04:49 PM

Hey everyone, we've just bunch of guys with fresh truggies and we were sitting down and wondering, what spares should we take for a race day. Basically question is, what is most likely (which could be really unlikely, but still) to break.

There is Losi 8ight T and Xray XT8 ...

do you have any experience with parts that suffers the most during raceday? (not talking about wheels :)

with revo it was easy... you need to have whole drivetrain twice and there was always somebody who had almost anything spare for it.. now situation is different, Truggies are really young here...

I can't really say for the Losi, but on the Xray, I would take spares of:
  • The Rear Hubs
  • Front C-Hubs
  • Front Knuckles
  • Front Upper & Lower Arms
And, really that should have you covered, though it is a very strong truck, so you shouldn't really need any of those, (I never broke any parts on my XT8, and I ran it for most of a season). Though the rear hubs are a known weakpoint. The front suspension components are always a good thing to have too though.


In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

i usually bring 2 sets of tires, a set of arms,front and back, bearings because they go out at weird times , like my mbx5t, i had a ceramic diff bearing that worked just fine, when i was driving , at the end there was drag ,then when i came off the track the rear diff housing melted and the bearing seized up like a rock. ceramic bearings are nice, but unpredictable in my experience.
