Welcome to the ET410 Wiki page.
Matt - Probably would recommend a 10.5 for something similar to 13.5 in a buggy. I personally run a 6.5 in it and it’s pretty fast. Pro4 4600 will run in it but it has a lot of power and will need to be turned down in the esc.

Thanks, and yes it would be possible, though I just saw on the FB thread that someone used XT2 body mounts which appear to be an easier solution, I'll double check later because I've got an XT2 that I'm getting ready to sell (pulling the electronics out of it to put in my ET410) and will double check the fitting... I think the XT2 body looks better than the 22T-2.0-MM body, especially around the rear wheels with less exposure from the side of the chassis.

Just rebuilt my diffs as per recommendation in the manual after noticing it diffing out too much last night. They looked like they’d lost some oil, but there was no signs of leakage, i take it this is just the result of the gears bedding into each other and taking up less volume inside the case?
Either way they’re all correctly filled and feel like they did after the initial build.

I worked on racing suspension in many 1:1 forms for many years and this was never an issue for any of my athletes. Hopefully that holds true for the 1:10 world because if your truck is handling well then why fix a problem that isn’t really there? Agree, disagree?

Welp, IMO the M2C hinge pins are no stronger than the stock ones. No scientific proof, but they could be weaker actually.

Thanks, any suggestions on where you can get 3mm tool steel pins? Would a dremel cut through that stuff?

Speaking of pins.. it's worth noting that folks should replace the pins on their drive shafts at the first sign of any flat spots starting to form, this will get the longest possible life out of your out drives 
I have been using the Mugen Pin Replacement Tool for years on my 1/8 cars, in fact I'm still using 6 of the 8 original out drives on my 6 y/o SCT410.1 because I regularly replace the pins.
Unfortunately, the EB/ET410 uses smaller 2.5x10mm pins and the Mugen tool is designed to only replace 3mm pins, however there is another company called RcRenew which sells a smaller 2.5mm slot and the screw is a direct fit with the Mugen tool, however the wrench that comes with Mugen tool is not compatible, you will need to buy a separate to work with the RcRenew screw head which is a 1/4" square drive.
*** UPDATE
Another trick to double the life of your pins is to rotate your CVD's from left/right side and flip your center dog bones after flat spots are starting to form on one edge

These are the pins I used, and we were able to cut them off with a dremel cutoff wheel but it needs to be one of the reinforced wheels. Even then we went through a couple wheels before we cut off all six pins I had ordered lol.

I think some people were using https://www.mcmaster.com/91595a146 with success before we updated the hardness of our pins.

FWIW those will break before they bend, and they do break

and your a-arms at least on the EB can take the extra stress.
