You can use the front axle/steering arm assembly off of the SC/ST, then put 14mm hexes on it and use the DE wheels for the 410. They are the same width as the wheels for the 210 which I find a bit odd...

I'm running the carbon +8 chassis. Really drives nice.
Johnny, I made a set of 2x1.6 pistons tonight. I'm going to test next Monday, hopefully, and see how how they work on our new layout. Track is made for short course so it should be a good test for stability and pack.
Also, my race weight is 1545g without transponder. My B4.1 is 1557g with transponder.

dimec20 chassis
looking at the dimec20 chassis, im hoping the front reinforcement ribbing right after the kickup will not interfere with the ackerman fix (mounting carbon rack below steering arms). can anyone with the new chassis confirm or let us know the deal with it? thanks.

Speaking of new chassis - I just received Cush's new billet chassis from Tresrey today, just in time for Spektrum next week. We'll see how it runs, but this thing in a beautiful work of art! The entire chassis is machined from a solid block of aircraft quality 7075 aluminum, meaning the front kickup is not actually bent, but has been carved from a solid chunk. It's pretty.
Auto- keep us posted. Cush will have his first run with them in the buggy on Saturday at a Spektrum warm up race.

I was able to flip the rack on my DESC210 without issue, but that was using the included aluminum rack. Should be the same though as long as the locknuts are to the top side.

and i was wondering why that tresrey chassis was so expensive. explains it now pretty well, thanks for sharing.
with the dimec20, it looks like the new tresrey carbon fiber battery hold down can possibly offer the chassis more structural rigidity with its 4 mounting points. looks like im gonna have to give it a shot and order em. thanks a bunch!

The nuts I was referring to are the ones for the bellcrank- assuming you have a cf rack. The ballstud nuts just barely cleared on the SC, but a light bit of dremel work would fix that if not on yours.

On the trans to make it super free when snugged up simply remove and adjust the shim placement. Not all of the housings require all of the shims.
On the motor plate screws ALWAYS use red loctite here. When I build my transmissions I snug up the plastic to plastic screws only enough to seal any gaps. Then the motor plate screws are done in the same fashion with loctite. Let it setup overnight.

Randy,
When u say adjust shims, u mean the ones that run against the idler gears correct? If so, can u completely remove one of them? I was always afraid to for fear of the race binding on the case.
Appreciate your advice as always, and thanks again for the awesome support on the chassis.
