The pred is a great car and I had mine for about 12 months. When I was running mine I broke.
Front hubs (a fair few)
Rear hub
Ball joints
rocker posts
Rear tie rods
Chassis
Prop shaft (at the same time as the chassis)
Diff rings
Thrust washer
Bent a few front hinge pins
Bent a couple of front drive shafts
I also lost a few of the cone washers and at around £3 each it adds up.
I ended up picking up and x10 which I stripped for parts that were useable on the x11 and I bought a fair few spares. When I sold it I had the following spares:
Lower front wishbones
Upper front wishbones
Lower rear wishbones
Upper Rear wishbones
Front Hubs
Rear hubs
Rear gearbox top
Front gearbox cover
Full set of drive shafts and stub axels
Driveshaft blades
Front hinge pins
Rear hinge pins
Threaded pivot balls
Nose cone
Diff crown wheel
Spur gear
One way shaft adapter
Drive shaft pins
Chassis
Large ball joints
Small ball joints
E clips for shock pistons
Rear toe link
Front wing
One way shaft with two one way units
Hollow and x10 rocker posts (latest solid posts fitted to the car)
M4 turnbuckles
Shock shafts
Ball joints and balls
Rear rocker pivots
Motor mount posts
Steering pivot pin
Shock bush
Front wishbone hanger (modified x10 part)
Front and rear wing
Two compete diffs
Two complete diff overhaul kits including diff and thrust balls, screws, crown wheels diff plates and thrust washers
Admitidly it was a bit overboard but it wasn't all new. Quite often I was the only one running a pred so relying on others to help out wasn't a possibility. Also it can take a couple of weeks to get things from xtreme which is very frustrating especially when it prevents you from going to a race meeting.
The car can be very fast but for me not being the best driver I rarely got through a meeting without a failure of some sort.
