T2 is a high maintenance car? (pictures added)

Got an used T2 008.  The seller gave me tons of parts (two big cases).  Many new sets of diff balls and plates, a lot of bearings, belts, arms, arm locks, spools, spur gears......etc.

I am happy with that, but I would like to know if T2 008 considered as a high maintenance car (need to fix all the time even with no crash)?  Do I have to use the thin spur gears?  

Thanks!

Xray uses very high quality material to make their 008 parts (even better than 009 or T3).  In my 2 years owning this cars, I only need to change the steering blocks and the rear hubs (in crashes).

If you run NiMh, then use thin spur gear.  If Lipo, then does not matter.

That's good.  Mine already got the metal steering blocks and rear hubs.  

How does the spur gear thickness to do battery type?  

C hing, I am new to Xray.  Thanks!

A few pictures to share my joy!

Here are SOME of the parts included.  There are more in another box.  If as C Hing mentioned, T2 008 doesn't need much maintenance, then I think this American was really serious into racing.

wow, you can probably built another car from those 'spare' parts!

anyway, the NiMh battery is very close to the spur (sometimes hitting it) so that's why they introduce the thin spur to get more spacing on the battery side.

For Lipo, you will not have that problem, since it will not fit under the top deck, thus, you will need to use a lipo tray (as seen in your photo).

Thanks for the info.  

Actually, that guy is getting out of the hobby.  The deal came with a 07, a 08, parts, and many sets of tires.  Will take me a while to figure out 07 and 08 parts.  Will sell the 07, and keep the 08.

This American guy is not only serious about racing, he's professional racer.

You are lucky!!
How much did you get these from him?

Too many parts..

    Very good deal

聽講有D高手去比賽，淨係金屬波箱都帶N份，唔好講其他件啦
我地呢D嬉戲、錢又唔係多、又唔會有人贊助o既，帶多一架spare parts車已經好難得......wahaha

So, do I suddenly become a 高手?    Just kidding.

Anyways, thank you all the C hings.  I am keeping the 008 and the parts for 嬉戲.
