I carry extra losi cars but for the t2.0 i grabbed an extra cvd,rear shock shafts,shock rebuild kit,bearings,hardware,clutch shoes and springs,oils and gas tank. otherwise most parts are easily gotten from other losi racers at tracks i go to...

The truck is pretty solid. After racing it for 9 months now, I've only broken a servo saver and a shock end. Maintenance-wise though, you should probably get the following:

Rear gearbox & shims
Rear ring gear
Rear pinion gear
Clutch bell
Clutch shoes
Clutch springs
Clutch bearings (get TKO Special Clutch bearings and they'll last way longer than the others)
Shock ends
Servo saver (make sure it's the updated version, or buy the one for the original 8T)
Shock shafts
Shock o-rings
Shock boots
CVD pins (assuming you have a tool to replace just the pins)
Outer hub bearings (you'll go through a lot of these)
Gear box bearings
CVD support bearings
Shock caps

These items are not required, but if you maintain your vehicle to top operating levels, you'll replace these types of items on a regular basis.

the rear outer hub bearings is a must, but i had mine machined to accept bigger bearings and this has solved all my problems , also you could get the kingheadz rear hub and they come with bigger bearings , shock ends , and put the 1.0 servo saver in or get the updated version , i also suggest a arms , i havent broke any as of yet but after a while the look like bananas and affect the camber and cause ware in the drive train .... just my 2 cents take it for what its worth

What is the issue with the stock 2.0 servo saver?

the first generation 2.0 servo saver in my opinion had a really stiff spring and was eating my steering servos like no tomorrow ! i did some checking and found that i wasnt the only with this problem and was told to try the 1.0 servo saver and once i did that i never had a nother problem ... i believe the newer 2.0 has had this problem corrected What is the issue with the stock 2.0 servo saver?
