Default Essential spares for XRS

Hi was just wondering what spares would be handy to have in the tool box when running an XRS?

Hi- 1-Spur gear, 2-rear wing mount (Losi?), 3-rocker crank pivots, 4-Front x brace pin, 5-bullet ball joints, 6-diff ring, 7-upper front wishbone...should cover most disasters...make sure the pinion is meshed well and the motor is tight and in line, most of our problems have been with stripped spurs (material has now been changed) and it's a pain to change in a rush1, Hope this helps, Cheers, Gord..

plus you'll need plenty of front gearbox tops if you don't fit the X brace conversion kit

I assume most parts from the X11 are compatible with the XRS?
I'm thinking about upgrading a few components in the front end, like the X-Brace conversion and the steering. I have done the stick pack mod, so what would be the best option for upgrading the steering?

Get the new orange steering links, they settle the car down alot and make it easier to drive... Least thats what they do on the X11, never run an XRS unfortunatley
