      Nailed it! I agree 100%. Keep a couple each of these parts in your spares box, and your down time after a crash will be a little shorter. :D

      Just out of curiosity, what model is it? BTW... Those Blade canopys are like egg-shells anyway.

      I thought I was on another thread...... Duh. :p
      You might consider an aftermarket canopy. The Blade canopys are notoriously thin and brittle.
      You can skip most of the tail parts listed above since the 230s is direct drive tail motor.
      As far as spare parts that may be commonly damaged in a crash, You will want spare links for the head, they sometimes pop-off and are impossible to find on the ground.
      Tail boom, tail rotor blades, maybe a set of landing skids, feathering spindle, possibly main blade grips, main blades probably wouldn't hurt. In extreme cases, main shaft and swash plate. Other parts can break if crashed hard enough, but the ones I listed will be the most common.

      i'm pretty sure i'll be doing a lot of aluminum and carbon fiber upgrades if I know me..I use to like doing that to my rc cars when I worked on them some.

      You can't go wrong there. Sounds like you have the right idea. The original parts are mostly plastic. Blade has some aluminum options, but the Rakon parts look better.

      No matter what parts you stock up on, when you crash there will be at least one part you have to order! And its most likely that that part wont be instock anywhere on the planet...
