On my Iwaver, sames as the Mini Z MR-01, I've broken both mirrors off and the rear wing on my Porsche GT3. On the Audi TT a friend rammed me and broke off a tail pipe.

I also broke the 1st servo gear by crashing into a wall during a test run with no body. Don't run your car without a body on it.

plastic rims-you should get alloy very good
striped about everything-be soft when screwing your car
the piece of the engine brushing that the red and black
wires solder on to- yet again be soft too
carbon 'H' plates for the rear
well jezz everything basiclly
just buy all upgrades you can so you
cant brake it. it works out in the end.

3 sets of servo gears, H-plates galore, a few rims, mirrors, a front body brace, pinions galore, and 2 side body braces.

Never run you mini-z without a body, EVER.
other than that they are really tough suckers, just don't go running them into the wall head on at full throttle and they will last a long time. Also get a few spare H-plates, I love the carbon fiber ones, they seem to last very long.

Re: What have you Broken On your mini z?

Wow you are stocking up!! Wish I had all that stuff ready to replace when I broke stuff. Waiting 2 weeks for some servo gears and then breaking them within 5 min. of installing them by running my car without a body sucked sooooo bad. I didn't touch that mini-z for 3 months after doing that, lol. I tried a custom o plate but it didn't do much but break. Beefing up the suspension helps keep those H-plates lasting longer too.
