Get some C hubs, hub carriers and maybe some wishbones. Top tip. Superglue or threadlock the shoulder screws which pass through the C-hub into the hab carrier, the ones on the bottom have a habit of falling out. Jonathan

The C-hub is the bit that the camber link attaches to on the top, I think they have 3 steps on them and are only on the front. Jonathan

C-Hubs are castor blocks. They're mad out of graphite on the CGM and you'll hardly break one.

As for hubs, you should get hold on a pair of SD415SG, they're the 0mm trail in graphite, they'll give more steering.

SO far, I only broke wishbones on the car, only on huge crashes.

Will my local model shop do the hubs do u recon are they common? and can they be used only for the reat though aint it?

I don't know if your hobby shop will have them, they're an option part.

SD415 are the normal plastic hubs (1 front 1 rear),
SD415G are the same but made out of graphite reinforced material,
SD415S are FRONT hubs with 0mm trail, plastic,
SD415SG are the same but graphite.

I usually get them from the US or japan, as they're almost impossible to get hold on here.
