Are there kits or at least a list of parts for an EB410 to ET410 conversion?

at least on the buggy wheelers, the sworkz hingepins have been showing up to be more durable and about half the cost.

do you have a part# for those? https://www.amainhobbies.com/sworkz-...330292/p267336 It pops in stock periodically. They have worked pretty well in our buggy classes at least, so curious if they would work well for the et410 if pin bending is still an issue. |
I haven’t broke a bulkhead yet (knock on wood. But I have taken out 4 arms and 5 hinge pins. I wish they would have done a full cover around the hinge pin on the arms. It probably would have caused them to be a lot stronger |
I’m glad people are acknowledging they’ve bent a lot of hingepins. I was going crazy thinking it was just me. |
A bunch of guys at my track are drilling arms out and using 4mm hinge pins from sct.

nope it is an issue I would say for sure. It is more of a week point I think that should be addressed. Who know maybe they willl. I hope they do and figure out a better version |
+1 ^^^
All this talk about hinge pins reminds me of Yeti users beefing up front end. A couple of $ for spare pins, and your good to go. Anyone out there running aftermarket front bumper on their ET410? I know I'm getting ready to give it a go with a TBR piece bolted on the front end. I'm hoping the bumper absorbs more energy than transferring it to something else. We shall see. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rct...9507d57078.jpg |

I’ll take a broken hinge pin over an A-Arm or bulkhead any day. $5 and 1 minute fix. It’s not like they break by bumping into another buggy. They’re usually from hard crashes or lawmdarts. its actually a pretty good for it to be the “weak point” in a RC car. |
put a bulkhead set in your spares - i saw at least 5 broken last weekend 2 of them were our pit area. i heard the parts guy had 10 on hand and sold them all

My guess is the ET410 has gotten really popular since it’s release a short time ago. But majority of owners aren’t the “hardcore racers”. Rather its for the guys who go to the track with a group of friends to have a good time and a few good laughs. I’m sure there would be far less broken parts if the owners didn’t crash as often, especially myself lol. I can count a good 20 ET410 owners at our local track, yet we still don’t have a dedicated class for racing. As for the front, Exotek makes a nice heavy duty brace that reinforces the shocktower with the bulkhead. As for the inner hingepins, it might be designed to snap before the bulkhead or arms do. |
