Well.. last year was our rookie year and we had some problems with everything. From drill motors (went through 2 of them) to speed controllers (went through 2 of them also). I believe that our problem was not having qualified people familiar with the wiring working on it. The speed controllers should have been reliable, but I believe some people ended up shorting out wires, or mixing up PWM cables.

Long story short, when using 5 Victors as a rookie team, I would play it safe with 2 spares unless your budget can't afford it. Depending on the motors you plan to use, you may want to balance that with spare of those also.

This year I think we will work with one spare.
