This weekend my rear differential failed. Two planet gears broke. I am quited sure that i can blame it on the pit crew as i rebuilt the diff right before the race. Has anyone ever had an issue with the diff on the SCT410 or am i just a little bit clumsy?

My diffs on both 410.3 and Eb48sl have been solid, Something must have been off after the rebuild I would assume.

In my experience having the bumper out in front of the body just breaks the body quicker.

I don't recommend bullets on the motor of a truck like this because of the amp draw the motors make. Bullets wear out, and you'll find when they are by cooking your motor.

I do so. Beginning with the LRP iX8 controller, i soldered bullet connectors to the motors´ wires. The controller uses bullets all around. Then i used a Tenshock motor with the wires directly coming out of the motor´ housing. So the bullets stayed. Later i used the Tekin RX8 gen II and soldered connectors to small wire parts. Until now, there were no problems with the connection, never noticed overheating or dissoldering. I protected the connection with shrink tube and tied them to a chassis point to eliminate vibrations. I always use connectors without springs, if they don´t have enough pressure, i fill them with a short part of silicone wire shield inside.
I´m testing a lot of different ESC/motor setups, so this worked best for me.

The T-Bone Racing´s Bumper raches about 35mm more to the front than the original Tekno one, but the front end is 10mm lower. You may correct that with a heat gun and some patience.

Default sct410.3 vs. eb48.3 shock towers?

So are the shock towers interchangeable between the 2 still and are the eb48.3 towers stamped or cnc? Thanx

Very doubtful the buggy uses the rear shocks on the front now and the truck towers are shorter than the previous version.

You can do a 5.4mm lens conversion and that will make the gopro more like a standard aspect camera without the wide angle fish eye and edge distortion.

Sorta defeats the purpose of a gopro IMO, but it does work well. A lot of the drone guys are doing this for better filming shots.

Thanks. Probably would help me see my car far away. I didn't realize I could change the lens.

So I was setting my droop today and my front is 105mm with the truck on a stand suspension uncompressed, but the droop screws aren't even close to touching the chassis. Is this correct or have I done something wrong? I had to adjust the rear to get it to the box settings

What droop are you trying to get to? The manual says 102mm droop in the shock building section.

If you take your shocks off, do the droop screws touch the chassis? And also, approx. how long are your shocks fully extended measuring from center of the top and bottom mount holes when off the truck?
