Is there a thread to cover the most common parts that break or parts that should be upgraded to make the car bulletproof?

After going off a ramp a few times getting the car 5 ft in the air the dogbones broke, the right side completely snapped off and the left shock is stuck and wont budge, i was looking at FLM dogbones since they have a lifetime warranty and wanted to know which other parts i should get while im ordering this

I am a pretty aggressive basher
 
If dogbones are breaking on 5ft jumps then it sounds like you're giving it throttle as the car lands which is a sure way to break just about any dogbone @AceM.

As for other upgrades, any of your most common items on the HPI Baja will apply to your King Baja as well.
 
I did learn that throttle on landing does break dogbones, i was not aware until recently

Well haha, great list there appreciate it and thanks for the homework its gonna take me some time to research all that

I did get a kill switch right away

I was interested in the FLM dogbones because they offer a lifetime warranty, however i sent them a message to inquire about the warranty and it took about 2 wks to get a response so im not really happy with that

The chassis brace seems to be out of stock and only available in the UK so i removed IRC from my search and found this
https://www.amazon.com/Stainless-Steel-Front-Frame-Chassis/dp/B015VY3ZLK or this https://www.ebay.com/itm/HPI-1-5-Ba...IS-FRONT-UPPER-PLATE-BRACE-Skid-/371454750671 which is front and rear but it has a really different style
