I agree with racer x 1. I think most of the spur issues are not caused by the spur gears being bad or weak.
I ran an entire race weekend with a spur that was halfway chewed up. I chewed it up on the first pack with the car, most likely because I had forgot to tighten down the motor mount
I reset mesh, used some loctite and re-tightened down the motor mount and never had an issue and the spur never got any worse.
Here is a pic of the spur that I ran 8 rounds of racing and 3 practice packs on. Hell, its still on the car and will stay on it until I kill it completely.
The track was a very high bite, sugar track. I am also not easy on the throttle at all.

I am picking up a HB413 from a local this weekend. It is used and I dont know much about this platform. I know there are issues with spurs, and that is about it. Here is a link to the car I am getting. Let me know if you see anything needing replacing or upgraded. The spur looks shot. That is all I can tell from the pics. I will see the car up close on Saturday.

I dont, but I see that a few online stores have them in stock. Have not checked my LHS. I just saw that the chassis is 129 bucks, lol. crap I hope it does go bad. HBs stuff is normally priced pretty cheap. The d413 parts seem a little higher than I would have thought.

I've never owned an Associated.
A friend of mine races a b44.2. He put RPM arms on it.
Another friend of mine races an Xray. Tuning caster, camber and diffs on his car seems a little easier to work on to me than my D413.
I can say that my D413 is the best driving, most fun RC I've ever owned. I've only raced it 3 times so far. Made the podium every time. It's also been very reliable.

Personally, I drilled my pistons from the blank ones. TLR ones will fit but it takes a little work to make sure they are aligned because the hole is bigger than the HB ones. Look up my posts in this thread. I posted about how to mount the TLR ones.

chassis protector
I saw someone ask about chassis protector a couple pages back and at the time the only answer was to make your own. was just wondering if any company has a protector out yet for this buggy that I can buy and stick on without making my own.

My spur is still perfect also.
jpcopeland1, I mean no offense at all when I say this, but if you've killed 3 spur gears already, it's very likely that you're doing something wrong.
Do you race with any other D413 drivers that you could compare your car with to see if you can figure out what's different ?
