OK, I have a few questions regarding buggies/trucks, parts, racing etc.

I purchased a new RC10T3 which I must say I love. I also purchased a Losi XXXT, another RC10T, RC10B, RC10L, and old style RC10. Now all of these are previously raced and come with multiple radios, chargers (peak), batteries, a slew of parts, ESC's, and motors.

I raced onroad for almost 4-5 years and ened up owning multiple cars, batteries, parts, etc.
I gave up the hobby because of college and work requirements. Now some 8 years later I have time and life permits me to enjoy and participate in the hobby again.

Question: In your opinion, what do you think you need to race that are must haves. This could be tools, parts, etc.
I'd like to be ready before the race season begins, 2 weeks from now.

Any help would be greatful!

well, since you bought those cars used and they were raced before you owned them chances are the guy you got them from already put the mist needed race hop ups on it.
titainum turnbucles,
grafite parts,
mod motors and a nice esc.
they probely allready have those, so check and let us know whats up.

Your definitly going to need some new batteries. Get some mached 2400 packs. Also try a new charger like an indi 16x2 pro. Get some high quality allen wrenche. you should probably change the shock oil in the used cars. If you are not going to get new motors tune the ones you already have. Upgrade the esc if it's old to a high quality racing esc.

TIRES, they are the best hop up you can get, find out what kooks up at your track, and get some. Hex Wrenches are a MUST, and some Ti parts, and batteries, that is about it, oh forgot, tuning parts, oils, pistons, springs....... And, while you are at it, better rebuild the diffs, you know, just to make sure.....
