|  "Must have spare parts" for Axialfest?
Attending my 2nd only Axialfest this year. Last year with a bone stock Wraith RTR I managed to make it thru the event with only stripping an idler gear. This year I've upgraded the motor, lower links, servo and hub carriers. What extra parts should I have ready as spares. Like I said only stripped a gear last year so I really don't know what other parts fail on a more regular basis. Any advice? Thanks!

It's hard to say because some people drive harder or in different places / ways. A good helper may be the videos Harley did on the wraith. He usually gives a good highlight of common failures.

I'd also bring an spare axle housing. I've broken more housings than anything else and they are cheap. Make sure you bring plenty of hardware in all the sizes you could need as well.

My two sons and I will be going for the first time. We're basically bringing enough to build another rig! Lol! Ive found zip ties and ShooGoo are also a necessity, at least the way my kids drive  |

Spare parts? Build the rig right the first time and you won't need anything but batteries.  |

Bring everything you normally bring on fun runs and such. Loctite all metal to metal before you leave for Axialfest and drive as you normally do. Ive been the last few years and have really never had any mechanical failures. Better to break it now, upgrade it and then know your solid then break at axialfest. |
