Whenever you go out to Bash what are the extra items that are mandatory for quick fixes, that are in you tool box? Mainly On road touring cars.

Here are some things i carry:
A arms
Spur gears
Clutch shoes
Screws
Tools
Glow Plugs, igniter and wrench
2 sets of wheels
batteries
fuel, and extra fuel lines
Shocks

Any thing else you think i should carry?
 
Body Clips
Zip Ties
 
I carry pretty much a spare truck. I race a Revo and have just about every part to build another one just in case including another mill and p/s. Couple of the tracks I go to there's no hobby shop near by so if you break, you're done. My on road car I keep some of the basics but where I ran that there's a hobby shop right there so if I needed anything it was probably there.

Chargers? Where are you gonna plug them in when you're bashing on a Dirtbike track? lol

When I got, I bring my whole garage. Just makes things easier. :fro:
 
Geeze Revo, you seem well prepared.
Were you a boyscout by any chance, lol.

Todd, a lot of the better chargers work off of 12v. For home or shop use you have to buy/use a 110v AC to 12v DC transformer.
 
Good question

I just won a Revo tool pack on ebay, does that count ;)


I really don't race but maybe one of these days. So far I really just take: GP, GP wrench ( friends), needle nose pliers and fuel when I go out bashing. The pliers are for the Mini T, them body clips are a PITA sometimes lol I'm currentlt working on a basic tool kit for the tool box and a qaulity set for the bench. I'm also collecting extra parts to help with down time, waiting on ordered parts sux. Anyways, got pitures of their tool box of carring bag?


Thanks

HOLY SMOKES, Diver!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He does have one tool that I forgot that I think is essential, a body reamer. That comes in handy for so many reasons.
 
LMFAO!!!!! Oh yeah! He likes to use his Body reamer in "Special Ways".

Remember boys n girls....never put your body reamer in your back pocket...
 
Leatherman Supertool 200. i never run without it. has a blade, needle nose, wire crimpers, cutters, files rough and fine, and many other screwdrivers and stuff all in one nice little package.


and all the other spares and expendable parts
 
I used to carry that much. Now I only carry:

the radio
car(s) that I plan on running
fuel (and fueling bottle) (if needed)
two ignitors
starter box (if needed)
soldering iron (if needed) (for my electrics)
screw driver (for tuning)
invertor (for the soldering iron, if where I'm at doesn't supply A/C)

Pretty much a dufflebag full of stuff, minus the cars. I used to literally pack the trunk of my car full of stuff (with the cars on the back seat). Now, it's just what I need, and if I break, I'm done, regardless of how well I'm doin at the track.
