Be sure to glue the inserts....otherwise you'll get to much arm flex, will feel inconsistent

Do you use the screws and glue together?

Are most guys using the the stock plastic ones or the carbon. It seems like Ty uses the carbon on most of his setups.

Got a little bored tonight while prepping a Proline Type-R body, wanted to see if I could make a really good condition Finnisher body fit that I had for my old D4 (actually a B44.2 body that fit the D4). It works ok, but might be tough to trim without another body to use as a guide, so I pressed the already cut out Proline body over the JC one lining up the front body mount hole and used that as a guide for the recesses of the shock tower mounts. Took a bit of trial and error, trimming slowly, but its definitely useable. Looks a bit less cab forward than normal, but not too bad. One issue I'm noticing is that the servo horn is hitting the side on full right steering, I think I can get it to work though. I'll should be giving it a track test tomorrow.

Are you guys shimming the rear hubs and arms? With the Ty reedy spacers on the rear arms there is still play, could use a .5 shim I think. Also the rear hubs slide a bit side to side as well.

I added an additional .5 mm washer. And there is still a little play. If you look at Ty's other setups, he does put 2.5 mm of washers at times.

I did. Shimmed the slop out of the back. The front was good on mine so I didn't need any additional shims there.

Well I run on a high bite clay indoor track and I use the plastic inserts and the car is a monster. I drove another D413 with carbon inserts and didn't notice much difference that would validate the cost. I glued my plastic inserts and seems good enough for me.

Hmmmm interesting cause I didn't glue my insert and car feels super great and each week I get consistently faster with it shaving more time off.
