Congrats on your purchase and welcome to the Traxxas forums!
As for spares: A-arms, body clips, batteries and time.
What betteries are you running? If 3S, may need spare drive shafts or upgrade the to MIP or Teknos.
Have fun!![]()

Have fun with your Sl4sh, they are very durable. Another handy thing to have is Loc-Tite, for when screwing metals screws into metal. But looking at your RC list, you probably do already.

I would also get some rpm rear bearing carriers. Mine broke right away
Congrats on the new ultimate.. I bought the same not long ago.
I am very happy with my setup. While everyone preferences are different, here is what I did:
- Rear shock tower on front conversion (using xx-long hard anodized gtrs)
- Heavy duty metal center diff
- Hot racing ESC heatsink and fan
- two yeah racing aluminum boost fans with 540 motor mounts
- 50k front diff oil, 60k center diff oil, and 20k rear diff oil
- 50wt shock oil in front and back
- double blue gtr shock springs front and rear
- outerwears chassis shroud
- a-arm guards front and rear
- Traxxas aluminum chassis brace
First off congrats on your putchace. Running 3s your going to want to have a couple spare driveshafts on hand. The shock shafts and caps are a big week point. Traxxas has hardend shafts and anluminum caps thatll hold up better. Get a chassis brace for sure if youll be hitting jumps regularly. Run it hard see what you break and upgrade.

I have gotten all the rpm parts I can. And they are very durable. Can't go wrong
My suggestion to you is to upgrade your cv axles and put a heatsink and Yeah Racing fan on the motor. Get the fan for the esc and drive the wheels off of it![]()
