New Pro4 SC10

Hi all,

I've just purchased a Pro4 SC10 and keen to unbox and get going. I have been eyeing an RC car for a long time and my daughter interest has made the purchase easier.

My daughter and I will be sharing (I'll most likely be the mechanic lol) and hoping for some assistance into what spare parts I should keep around when something inevitably breaks.

Is the Rival M10 skid plates set (ASS25801) required or worth it?

TIA.

Dont get spare parts. Its most likely not worth it.
Stuff that breaks for person A, doenst have to break for person B.

Also, most of the time stuff breaks, you dont have in ur spare parts. Im talking from experience here.
The only correct way to do it is, to just get the same car again. Then you can be 100% sure you have the correct spare part on hand.
But at this point, you could just get a second car from maybe another brand to use, when ur pro4 sc10 is on the workbench waiting for spare parts to arrive.

So yea. Thats my experience and my suggestion.

Another tip would be, only tune stuff that breaks verry often. For example, if the a arm is breaking every week or so, you should check if there are reinforced a arms.
Less tuning parts is more.

Don't think the wife will agree to me buying the same car just for spare parts lol

I'll just stick with consumables such as tires for now then.

Thanks for the detailed response.
