looking forward to what you find out marcus. finally someone that runs on loose track to compare notes with.

SkyRC, i think discountRC sells them
seems like most run on high grip which is what the car is designed for, My first impression after driving it was that the chassis is too stiff and the car wasnt planted in the turns, My TeamC was the same way. The delrin upper decks should fix that. We run on friday so i should have some good feedback over the weekend. proto pistons are also on the car with a different configuration special for the wheelers

Finally got my hands on a 413 for testing! very well engineered car, we run on looser tracks so first thing i made was a more flexible upper deck!
Also found that the car scaled better with the ESC behind the motor, this pic was with all collars even and no additional weight added. crossweight is perfect as is rear numbers but front left is heavy even with the esc in the rear.
Testing friday!!

Wouldn't the corner to corner weight be dependant on the placement of the battery? because it's further back in your setup, it makes sense to put the esc back there. Most setups seem to have the battery fully forward. I need to check my corner weights again, but I have my battery up front and ESC in the front also. Corner weights were good IIRC but I'll have to check.
The battery really does need to be moved forward, this is how the car was given to me so i havent really messed with it much other than making the upper deck and installing the pistons. I plan on spending most of the day friday testing and trying some different things,moving the battery forward will be one of them!

even if something got in there the bladder separates from the shock oil so it would make a difference especially on a lovely clean indoor track!!

Yeah, for me there is no dust, so that is not a concern. More like packing the hole closed and changing how the shock works. With the AE caps, I would just face the bleeder inwards and not have an issue. The HB bleeder faces forwards, so that would be my only concern.

I could see that happening for sure with the stock caps on a muddy or wet track but with as much pressure that builds up inside on a hard landing i would think it would just blow out especially since the holes is so small.
