|  What spare parts do you bring to comps for your Berg?
I was wondering today, What spare parts should I try to always have on hand for comps? Or for that matter, what parts should I try to keep around so that I don't get stuck with a broken crawler while I wait for parts to come in the mail? (stuff like metric pinion gears, or berg axle parts that I can't pickup at my local hobby shop) Right now I've: 2 spare short inner dog bones 2 spare long inner dog bones 2 spare axial stub shafts (and the 4 stock stub's) a few spare rod ends some spare screws What parts do you guys typically try to keep on hand? and what parts do you typically break? |

I sheared a front hex pin on one course and had to 3 wheel it the rest of the course. I had spares in my toolbox. You can use several things to replace these. May not be particular to bergs but I never broke on on my axial axles. 35t's, 11.1v and more weight probably played into this one.

I have broke a hex pin also. A few extra bearings will come in handy if you still have the stock "junk" ones in your axles. The gears are not really expensive from TCS, nice to have spares for those too.

Two complete new axles, motors,extra tires on weighted wheels, dig switches and pretty much any thing else I can get in the truck or van.  But I haven't bought any 3M Super 77 spray glue YET  |

Well your already light years ahead of me on the spares...you should be good to go. Im trying to get the extra complete berg axle on call right now. For the price of the parts your might as well get a back-up set and split with someone. |

Spare axle . Have your motors with a bullet type connection and then unbolt you old axle and bolt in your new one. Then set it and forget it . Bring some spare hex pins , wheel hexes . The innerds you have spares of now and you should be A OK . |
