Default New to racing / Losi 22

Hi

I am new to racing, and I am running a Losi 22, I have been to 6 or 7 indoor race meeting, and have managed to not break anything yet,
I am just trying to find out what spares are worth having in your Pit Bag, as I don't want to have to cut meetings short for the sake of a few pound investment,

Thanks in advance

Mark

They are tough cars but at some point you will break something so yes it's worth carrying some spares. I would suggest:

Shock towers
Wishbones
Bulkhead
Front camber block
Front shock shaft
Turnbuckles

These items can be broken when crashing with another car.

With the way of the losi has come down in price you are better off buying a complete kit or a used roller, its the cheapest way.

hi mark, for racing at cullingworth I'd recommend having some spare front and back wishbones and front n back shock shafts in ur box as a minimum. Those pillars down the sides of the hall have a habit of breaking these if u run into them or just clip them.
