Has anyone figured out a way to run the AKA typo tires on our cars yet? I think they are only available to fit AKA evo rims. Xray and Sworks guys probably have the same problem.

you can run the older TDR510001 hubs. they will allow the b44 front rims. for the rear you just need any b4 12mm rear hex conversion. you have to shim out the hex approx 3mm I believe. I have done this to run my old b44 wheels and tires till bald.

It's my understanding the 510001 hexes are 10mm not 12mm which are the evo wheels and newer associated hexes. You have to use those evo wheels with the typo due to the gluing bead difference.

Replaced my Savox SC1258 servo with another one, and she works great now. I also dropped in a Reedy 8.5 motor, replacing an excellent D3 10.5. Not sure how that will work out. One of those things where I couldn't pass up on a good deal. Replacing that servo was tough, not a quick job at all, but now I got it down. We are covered in snow here in Tenn., so it's a good day to work on the r/c's.

jmackani I have also ran my team c 12 mm front hex as well with no issues.
I just got rid of a B44.2 to go to the V3. All my front wheels were still the 10mm hex. So I'm not sure which 12mm front wheels you are refering to....
from AKA website:
The 1:10 EVO wheels have taken buggy racing to the next level by adapting the L-shaped 1:8 buggy bead to the smaller 1:10 wheels. The L-shape bead makes tire mounting much easier by giving you a wider and easily accessible gluing surface to ensure a strong bond between the tire and wheel. The new EVO wheel has been redesigned to be stronger, stiffer, and also features pre-punched vent holes in the wheel.
- 1:10 EVO compatible only!

Finally pre punched holes in the tires. I guess manufacturers do listen to us once in a while. I hope they reinforced the holes? You can use the typo tires, but it defeats the tires purpoe. AKA told my to leave the tire bead in the wheel by cutting around the tire. I then sanded it to be smooth, and then glued the tire to the rubber left in the bead. I use this on my 2wd Dex210R buggy.

I swapped my D3 for a Reedy 540, and the can is larger, and causing a very tight fit, which I do not like at all, as I might have to move things around. I didn't even think about can size being a big issue!

I've got my 3 diff conversion built! It went together in a snap! Now I've just gotta swap out the rear drive pin and do some wiring and she'll be ready to test and tune! pics to be posted tonight!

I'm about half way through my 3 diff 410 build and the fit and finish looks and feels like a production kit. Nice work B-Man. I am going to try and get it finished tonight.

You're gonna have to change your signature to Dex410v5. What body did you get for yours?

So seeing that TD310290 Composite internal spider gears arnt in stock anytime soon.
I was going to run only 2 internal spider gears per diff in my 410 instead of the 4. I run Stock class 17.5 so less rotating mass is welcome, anyone know of any potential issues.
Obviously it will have less strength but I doubt a 17.5 will cause grief, also I know the Dex210 RTR has only 2 internal gears and it runs a 13.5 so can't see an issue but happy to be told otherwise.

Changing to ceramic bearings, or just de-greasing your bearing and using oil for lubricant really free up the transmission. Running a lighter high C rated Lipo pack also helps.
