You all know what it feels like to be at 99.5% of a build and find out you need a 1 dollar part that will postpone the finish for 45 days until the stupid part arrives all the way from China.

Help other fellow members to make a basic part list

BTW I have everything pretty well organized in a couple of Akro-Mils storage organizers. So fun to perform repairs in 10 minutes vs 45 days.

More time riding less time waiting for parts at a fraction of the cost if you do anticipate and buy from China when you still don’t need them urgently

Don’t forget to get an organizer to hold all theses tiny parts you get in bulk and labels.

I’ve found 12”x12” sheets of foam at the Dollar Store (USA)

cheapest anti shock padding I could find in Europe. https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B01D4MX6G0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I used neoprene foam, it’s a little more compliant than solid rubber. That can be a pro or a con depending on how it’s used, but it’s served me well.

Another thing to add is a variety pack of heatshrink tubing. You can even get marine-grade stuff that has a hot-glue lining for completely waterproof connections.

Also get a roll of some good, name brand (Scotch or 3M, etc) electrical tape. Don’t cheap out on this, it makes a difference if you ever have to rework something. The plastic part of the cheap stuff tends to harden, and the adhesive turns to goo.

Also, Solderwire, solderwick and flux! :face_with_monocle:

i don’t like to use electrical tape for this very reason, that why i like to use tesa tape. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EH6IZ6Y/ref=asc_df_B00EH6IZ6Y5448707/?tag=hyprod-20&creative=395033&creativeASIN=B00EH6IZ6Y&linkCode=df0&hvadid=167151899683&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=1147970211554254908&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9011845&hvtargid=pla-309634072467
