Race-Day Reliability

Recommended Spare Parts

Carry the parts most likely to end a race day after a crash or drivetrain failure.

Parts Worth Carrying

1Front arms, kingpins, spindles, and links
2Rear axle, hubs, transmission parts, and bearings
3Ball cups, turnbuckles, and hinge pins
4Shock shafts, seals, springs, and pistons
5Spur gears and drivetrain parts
6Nerf bars, bumpers, and body mounts
7Wheel nuts and a second tire combination
8Chassis-specific hardware

Build a Parts Box

Keep common hardware, drivetrain pieces, steering parts, and suspension components together in one labeled container.

1Use manufacturer part numbers.
2Test electrical spares first.
3Organize hardware by size.
4Replace bent parts before major events.
5Restock after every race.
Before Technical Inspection

Pre-Race Inspection

A legal car can still lose track time through loose hardware, leaks, or a failed transponder.

Class Check

1Verify motor seal and stock ESC settings.
2Confirm legal 2WD transmission and no direct drive.
3Confirm non-wing configuration.
4Inspect front-end movement, rear axle, and shocks.
5Check tire glue, nerf bars, and wheel nuts.
6Keep the battery at or below 8.44 volts.

Universal Check

1Steering moves freely and returns to center.
2Suspension moves without binding.
3Wheel nuts and chassis hardware are tight.
4Tires are glued and legal.
5Body, battery, receiver, and wiring are secure.
6I-Laps transponder is reading.
Safe Starting Point

Baseline Setup

1Begin with a stable manufacturer non-wing setup.
2Avoid excessive steering throw.
3Build rear stability before chasing rotation.
4Evaluate with smooth throttle application.
5Record tire size and compound.
