Besides the truck, tower hobbies reccomended these parts too.

DuraTrax Shark 6-Cell 1500mAh Sport Standard
DuraTrax Kwik-Pit 250cc Fuel Bottle
3 x Fuji Batteries AA Alkaline (4)
Hobbico 900 AC/DC Auto-Charger
O'Donnell 20% Racing Quart
Tower Hobbies TOWER Power Glo-Starter Standard w/o Metr

I thought maybe getting like 4 bottles of the O'Donnell 20% Racing Quart would be good because they offer a discount on that quantity, but how many tanks does one bottle last?

Are there any parts that I might need in addition to those for a Savage X? I heard the spur gear breaks a lot, do I maybe need a spare? Or maybe a better quality part than what tower hobbies reccomended?

Thanks

u should have bought gallons for more.... 4 quarts is like i think 20 tanks worth?...i may b wrong

and spurgears only strip when ur driving hard....for now u dont need one...after brakin u might want to order a couple to have on hand

I'd go with a better charger.

just adjust the gear mesh right and the spur gear won't shred
try and buy gas by the gallon, it's cheaper and MUCH easier to store

Whats a good battery charger and what kind of nitro is good to get? I know I need about 20-25% for the nitro but some say they are for helicopters and stuff on towerhobbies.com.

go to your lhs and see what brands of nitro they carry there, most of them that i've been to have the crap traxxas, o'donnel, and trinity
don't get the traxxas, but go with o'donnel or trinity 20%, towerhobbies has a...poor selection of nitro, it's all quarts or you can buy like 6 gallons, so check your lhs

sorry, im not sure about the charger...
