DEX 410 V3 recomended spares

[suparajicon]

I hope someone can help. Soon I will get a v3,together with some spares,but I don`t know what spares I should get. I guess that tire rod ends,sus arms,shocks towers..
What do you recomend me to get? Thank you!

I'm sure every one on here will agree that the 410 is a very good, strong car.

I have been using mine since early december last year, only broke a wing mount, just a shame it is part of the rear bulkhead.

The servo saver arm is a known week point, but an alloy upgrade part is available.

I currently carry spares of, f + r bulkheads, spur gear, f + r wishbones, steering blocks rear hubs and rear wing, and that is it.

Just run it and see how you go.

I was trying to think the last time I actually broke anything. It was almost a year ago now and it was a front shock tower.

It seems to chip 1 tooth off the spur randomly which makes things a little noisy lol.

I got rear ended once which broken a rear wishbone.

I drive like a hamfisted loon.

And have broken/carry as spares
Wishbones Fr and Rr
Hingepins
Fr and Rr bulkheads
Assorted steering gear bits.
Ball cups.
Shock caps.
Rear wings

And, erm, thats about it.

BTW, since my last "major" stock up, i've not broken anything. I must be getting less hamfisted......

As mentioned, the 410 is a tough car, can't remember much breaking on mine. My motor came loose a few weeks backs rendering my braking useless, hit the wall with a fair old whack! Incredibly, just a balll cup popped off.

Like Big G, I've had a spur chip a tooth, replaced with an RW spur and fine since.

To be fair I have about 3 cars in bits for spares!
I hardly use anything from them.

I have stripped a few spare gears, and dropped a drive shaft pin once, But that was a lack of maintenance on my part.

If you have a V3 put your money into a pair of rear diff holders, Tresrey servo saver and a few of the other 410 upgrades.

Don't buy shock towers, they are expensive and I don't know anyone thats broke one!

I would keep a few of the basics, Wishbones all around, Hinge Pins, Bulkheads,Wheel Pins (They fall out sometimes!) Drive shaft pins & spur gears.

Thats about it...

I bent a front tower too. Hammered it flat again, now keep it for spare. (bought a pair of CF towers, which i've not (yet) managed to mark......)

[coleman758]

I was refering to the Carbon tower

I've never used the alloy ones so I can't comment!

One race and few training : no broken part but the wheel CVDs seem to wear fast (with only a SP 6.5)
