Ok I'm going racing soon. I have practiced once and failed to break something. What do you guys break when you do break this thing? I just need to know so i can order some spares.
 
No lhs that stocks Mugen parts eh? I just found one near me that stocks Mugen, and Ofna, but I didn't quite have the budget for a MBX-5, so I ordered a H7.
 
Lower and uper arms, shock towers, axles, servo arms, shock assemblies, fuel tanks, hinge pins, e-clips, set screws, wheel nuts, spare servos, receiver, hub carriers, pivot balls, drive cups ... there's probably more that I have broken but those are on the on-roads.
 
mostly front end parts cause that 's what takes th ebrunt of your accidents...at least mine do...then have a spare pipe as well cause someone WILL T-Bone ya eventually......
 
Jeez diver, thats a 500 dollar order right there. I will get spme of the front end stuff to start with, and a "ripple" pipe for back up.
 
Yeah that is a pricey ticket but that's what I run with, and then some. My brother and I have even purchased a spare kit and never put it together, in the past. Works out to be cheaper and you know you have everything.
 
Until you use one of the parts, and if you're anything like me you will invariably need the one part you don't have in your personal stock =)

I've had three rear lower arms and one front lower in stock, only to break two fronts at the track the same day.
