Default What spares to buy B4, B4.1 & B44

As the title says, I have bought the above buggies and my son and I are going to be trying a bit of racing.
Is there a list anywhere of the spares that are generally needed to keep in stock for these or can anyone furnish me with one? Don't want to not be able to race because we break a cheap spare and haven't got one.

Cheers!

For the B4/b4.1 front and rear wishbones, shocktowers, & hubs.

For the b44 front shock shafts, shock caps, shock shaft rod ends, front wishbones, front hubs & diff gears.

Think that should keep you going for a while, those are the common problems, most clubs you should be able to get hold of spares for these cars anyhow as they are among the most popular.

A few screws & nuts are always handy to have as well.

Either to replace a damaged or lost screw / nut.

Mike has covered pretty much everything! Great cars you have there and many spares trackside for them, loads of info on set ups on Cml Distributions website.

I would add the following:

B4, Spur gear

B44, Spur gear, front lower bulkhead and front carbon tower

The main things I bust on my cars are;

B4, front hubs, front wishbones, front or rear shock tower. Not all at once mind I'm not that bad at driving!!

B44, front arms, front lower bulk head, front shock shaft and shock shaft ball joints, the rest of the car is pretty tough!

Hope this helps!
