Madrat spareparts, what's wise?

[Appie53]

What would you do Guy's, buy separate spareparts or buy a second Rat for a fair price! A second Rat will still all be made out of plastic

Buying a spare rat would be cheaper than buying a whole car in parts but there is only a few parts that break often so you would end up with quite a few spares, what I would do it buy another rat but build it up and have it so it is ready for electrics so it is a spare rolling chassis

Ok, did'nt think about that option, good idea

The parts that break most commonly for us are the shock towers (not had a front one go yet though), wishbones and front chassis plate (I hear the rear is vunerable on the rat too).

Getting a full roller built is a good idea, even the few parts above would cost around £20 to have one spare of each.
