All you'll need is:
rear wishbones
rear inner hinge pins
rear toe in bars

There the only xfactory parts you'll ever manage to break I think.

Rest is just the usual Associated B4 front end parts that you can break on any car as there first in the firing line...
front wishbones
front castor blocks
front steering blocks
front bulkhead

The XFactory parts rarely break from my experience. Other than the normal front arms and other commonly broken front end parts than nothing. Maybe a set of rear arms.

Please don't all have a go at me for suggesting this but if funds allow I would always carry a spare chassis. I know it's a bit of an extreme measure but my car was second hand too and the guy I got it off managed to take the nose off it at least once (he's not a bad driver either, just had an unlucky "off"). I've seen some others lose front ends too due to heavy impacts. I'm not knocking the X-Factory parts, it's just that if you have a "big one" in the first round it could mean game over. Same goes for the B4 / XXX etc.

Yeah wing mounts. That nipple is too small and the nipple ring (body clip) pulls through too easy.

I drilled and tapped mine after the and had no problems since
