Default TLR22 spares package includes what?

Ok so I have my 22 and have a few small things but I am doing a race and just in general would like to know what you guys that have been running it have as spares, not like extra springs etc but parts that may need replacing.

I have run it locally on astro and it takes a beating and I haven't broken anything yet, just want to be prepared

I have front arms atm and extra screws oils and the bits from the kit anything else?

What have you broken needed to replace?

The only parts I have ever seen break are rear arms and the rear bulkhead from running too many shims/too short of a ballstud and it just tears the ballstud out, but its very much avoidable. I'd get rear arms and thats it. I personally have no spares as someone else will always have spares so I don't need to stock up

I've seen people break the weirdest things... I've broken the rear hubs, and the front shock tower, which then led to a broken top bulkhead. Buy Alu hubs and carbon shocktower, and you're safe. Also getting the alu linkmounts front and rear is a good idea.

there are a fair few running the 22 so I think Ill beable to find parts if needed, hopefully.

I was thinking about arms and towers, ball caps maybe a turnbucke or 2,
spacers (washers are real cheap at a local store)

I have seen hubs and bulkheads done because of those short ballstud

Does anyone keep extra bearings? how are the stock ones?

Personally the only thing i have done is pull ball studs out. Run it for 7 months and not broken a thing a very solid car!

I have a mate and he's broken have of everything it seems in the car, and I've not broken a thing. I guess it depends on how often and how heavily you crash.
