    Spare bits not spare ribs

    Ok so for the revo and maxx I have been getting together some spare bits to minimize repairs and down time.

    I have...
    Regular drive shafts. 2 full sets.
    Summit drive shafts. 1 full set.
    Summit ceter shafts. 1 set.
    Maxx differentials. 2 sets.
    Maxx arms 2 uppers and 1 lower. Leftovers from my first major head on crash.
    Other screws, shocks, etc for the maxx.

    Any other things I should keep my eyes on?

    Bulk heads, RPM or FLM shock towers & RPM wear plates for the Maxx are a must have.......

    Rod ends! All I've broken when jumping is push rod ends and shock rod ends. They come in bags of 6 or 12, not expensive and don't take up much room in the spares box. Set of hex's with drive pins is also good with spare wheel nuts.

    I carry a full set of pushrods and toe links and a set of shocks when bashing so that if I do break a rod end, I can just swap the link instead of replacing the rod end. Much quicker fix Stock parts can often be picked up cheapish which make good spares.

    If at first you don't succeed, redefine success.

    Which rod ends should I get there are 2 listings on the blow up pictures. These need to be used for both an E-revo and E-maxx

    There are the 5347 and 1942 part numbers. Which are the ones I need or should I get both?

    I havn't got them to hand, but I've got 5347, but I know I got a set for Pushrods and a set for shocks.
