Default H2 recommended spares

Hello fellow H2 pro owners.

I've been running mine indoors for a few weeks now without and breakages but will be venturing outdoors for mid west MAM and regional action very soon.

Has anyone broke anything yet? If so what? And has anyone got any recommendations for spares to carry before I commence battle?

Cheers
Wes

I've broken a rear tower from coming down heavily on it upside down,It might be worth getting a pair of front caster blocks and steering arms but other than that the car is very solid!

I damaged a steering knuckle. Well I noticed it was damaged around the ball stud hole. It was still holding together though. I think the reason for this though was more to do with the ball stud forcing the hole open. Since then I have pre-threaded them and seems a lot better.

There's a few of us with H2s in the Midwest so should have most bits covered between us.

I snapped a rear stub axle on mine,it was a hell of a crash though but i think i know what caused it,there is a little play between the axle pin and hex and im sure its the movement in there that caused it,no problems on my other car that has clamped alloy hexes.

As Aiden said there are quite a few of us in the midwest running the H2,spares we should be well covered for although as ben said the car is solid,if you need anything or just want a chat come and find us were always willing to help where we can
