When you say the battery position is the same as the original 416's. Do you mean the 416X chassis is compatible with the old 416?
I was thinking also anyone did modification for the ori 416 to 416X.
Thanks....
Toh,
All chassis are different from each other.
1) 416 vs 416WE battery position moved forward 5mm
2) 416 & WE vs 416X rear diff moved backward by 1.8mm & motor mount moved in centreline (belting) by 1.0mm
3) 416 & 416X battery position same, hence different compared with WE.
I have both the 416 & WE but I'd still prefer the original 416 (more steering), but I'd upgrade the top deck & motor to WE.
The only thing u could use from 416X on 416 & WE is the motor mount but u need to remove some carbon on the lower deck, where the motor sits. But if you like to up grade ur 416 to 416X, u will need the new top deck, lower deck, motor mount & rear bulkhead, maybe the front bulkhead as well (this I'm not too sure).
Hope this helps.
