Well my birthday isnt too far away and I'm gonna get a truggy. Most likely a cen marix tr arena. So I was wanting to know what parts I should stock up on.

Basic items to have as backups would certainly include glow plugs and body clips. Wheel nuts, fuel line, ball cup ends. Inexpensive parts that can end your day should be in your pit box.

+1 on what Lessen said, and if you are ordering online, you should also order a nice screwdriver set that is compatible with your new rig if you don't already have hex drivers etc. Allen keys just don't cut it.

I would also get some spur gears and few a-arms. Also +1 the lesson.

The CEN Matrix Arena truggy is a poor choice. It's front arms bend like butter.

A good tuning screwdriver, a quality set of hex wrenches, after run oil, and a bucket of patience!

I always drive mine like 2 minutes from my house so if I break something I just run home and get it.

Dog bones might be helpfull
