For people that race 1/8 Bugs or Trugs


HYPER-BOY

Recommended Posts

Now that I have decided to knock football on the head on a Sunday I'd quite like to start racing, both 1/8 buggies and truggies.

 

Would be a Serpent 811-T TE Edition and a Losi 8ight 3.0 in buggy.. Might just pick one to start.

 

Anyway...

 

What are the most common things to keep in the hauler as spares race to race (except fuel) ??

 

Like most common things that go wrong etc...

 

Thanks

Racing is good fun but the expense can run away with you easily! Generally the main things that break are suspension arms and pins.

You may want to take extra wheels and tyres for different conditions/surfaces. Spare glow plugs, spare reciever pack or 2. Also take a couple of glow batteries just incase. Maybe some spare exhaust gaskets too. You may get booted off if your car is too loud.

Ideally you would want an entire car to rob parts off if something breaks but that can be expensive.

If you buy a good car and engine to start with you shouldnt have many issues.
