T1R spares

[Tim Fry]

Hi all

Should be receiving my new T1R tomorrow can anyone recommend any spares to carry and any build tips

Thanks

Tim

Best to get just the basics, front and rear wishbone, hub carriers and chubs. The car is very strong so you do not need a great deal of spares, but always good to be prepared. As for build tips, just take your time on the shocks. Spending the time on the build will mean you will need to spend far less time when maintaning it.

Cheers

about the shocks, try not to bend the little e-clip that holds the top of the shock piston.
I bent a few and there was only 1 spare so some of mine are a bit dodgy, but i've ordered some more.

I'd go along with what Matt suggested. I personally have never broken a wishbone but have got through a few C-Hubs. I have a front and rear wishbone, and a left and right C-Hub, as well as 2 drive shafts.

I have found - through bitter experience - that if you hit something hard enough to break a C-Hub - you should check the drive shaft as it will probbly be bent and check that the axle is not pressed in. just my £30ish quids worth.....

If you are buying spare wishbones, price the c hub wishbone tuning kit, you get three sets of wishbones and all the different uprights. Might be a more financialy efficient way of getting spares.

I dont know about you but I always go through aerial tubes. People have lost wheel screws as well so a spare set might be worthwhile as they are an unusual size to find at a trackside shop.

Low ratio conversion. Makes the car much smoother.
