Could you guys please give some advice on needed spare parts?
As I have never builed/bought an Xray before, I don't know what parts will be provided: is there just one set of springs? pistons, swaybars,...?
Which parts should I get as spares and as tuning-options?
all advice appreciated  |
Good choice of car ��
It's a very strong car, but the usual can break at very hard impacts.
I actually carry v.little in terms of spares, and have only broken 1 front arm in a head on with another car that nearly totalled it...
It depends on parts availability where you are if it's actually worth carrying anything.
2 pairs of springs are included in the kit, normal 3 and 2 dot, and short 3 and 2 dot.
Normal ones are pretty much bang on for outdoor Astro.
The kit also includes blank pistons should you wish to drill your own, but most stick with the kit 2x1.6 and 2x1.7.
Options wise there is plenty, but none actually needed desperately.
For Astro I'd get a set of 1.6 and 1.8mm arbs, and if feeling flush, the alloy steering plate and small carbon steering brace to replace the stock one.
I personally also really like the centre diff, but most on astro choose to run the kit slipper.
Run it and see what you think. It's a cracking car out of the box...
Hope this helps
