What spares to have on hand

Post by Jeepnhal »

Is there any parts I should stock up on for my 10t?It has RPM arms front and rear.

I just want to be prepared and not have a ruined day cause of breakage.I obviously cant have every single part on hand but is there anything these trucks are known to tear up?

I want to start collecting,especially cause a lot of stuff is hard to get

Rear arm mounts
Steering knuckles
Caster blocks

If you've already got the RPM arms, those 3 items are what I would consider the most failure prone.

Inner rear suspension mounts
Body posts
Turnbuckles (just buy Lunsford, they won't break or bend)
Ball cups (RPM for play, associated black for performance)
Ball studs

The T2 is pretty bullet proof.

I would grab one or two diff rebuild kits, front arms, inner hinge pins, a spur gear, rear bulkhead and a pair of long ball studs.
