Vanilla s411. Has rcc shocks, spare gear dif i filled with 350k, v2 steering rack. I sold it with a new chassis plate with no tweak. Second chassis was an outdoor chassis. All scratched. Used jaco blues from wcics4 2013. Great car. But check the bearings.

The spares are medium harness. Has hard arms on it i think cause i ran it the one weekend in mod.
Wish i didnt sell that car honestly.

the 3Racing are about $30 cheaper, and do the same job as the DJC,

I think I have raced with you before at critters, do you know any local spots that supply parts for the 411.

Default C-hubs and the DJC axel's

In my TE I was "forced" to dremmel out some material on the inside of the C-hub to make shure the axel/joint had clearance on turning the wheels.

Does anyone know if they have modefied anything on later C-hubs that comes with the Eryx kit, so the clearance is there without dremeling?

I dont know any place local. 90% of my parts come from serpent america and the rest come from a-main or ebay. I find real good deals on ebay from rc waffle.

Hey, I was previously running a Photon, just got the s411 TE 3 weeks ago, just need to get some time to test and run it. Just need to get some spares before running it though cause you never know, hit the wall the wrong way and your done for the day.

I haven't had any clearance issues with any of the newer c-hubs, you must have some of the first gen ones. Although now that I think about it, I can't remember the last time I broke a c-hub.

Car looks good. Thats got to be the biggest battery charger I've ever seen, you must be able to charge well past 70 amps with that thing.

Worst case, you can modify a Xray hard bumper to help with any breakage issues. The new arms (Eryx) are really strong, so we are seeing less broken parts.
