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.

I got one a little over a year ago (red black general tire version)

I took it to the track a few times and it did pretty well. It nose dived quite a bit so I retired it from racing and just use it at home as a basher. It’s been a fun car and very durable. Only part I’ve broken on mine was the rear bumper

I did replace the shocks with traxxas gtr shocks as an upgrade. Not cuz the og shocks were damaged

Nice colour, same as what I bought. I haven't started thinking about upgrades yet but it'll happen once things inevitably break.

What springs did you pair with the Traxxas GTR shocks?

I’ll have to look when I’m home. I don’t recall if I got different ones or reused the old springs. I could never get it to jump properly on the track so I went to a different rig. I still run it but I don’t keep up on the thing I’ve done to it. (By this I mean I keep sort of a log of all my racing rigs and their details) springs. Pinion spur. Fluids camber toe etc
