Maxir spare parts suggestions

"What spare parts do I need for my MaxiR?", is a complex question. Having experimented with a bunch of crashes lately, I'm getting a better feel for what is really needed, hehe. Some folks want to get only a minimal amount of spares at first and others want to have a good stock (and these parts are fairly cheap) to cover the all of the possibilities. The chart below is just my best guess at what might be suitable for the range of needs. The high priority items would stand a good chance of being all that's needed for a few crashes. Keep in mind that for many "incidents", you might only need to replace a pinion or similar.

Where different from the base kit, the SE part numbers are in bold and if a colour choice is needed the part number is in the appropriate colour.
