So I've been thinking of picking up the D413 and have heard several people mention the slop. Is there a fix for it?

According to Torrence, it was designed and built with more "slop" than most other top brand cars, intentionally. The reason being that as you get the chassis broken in the car stays consistent. But... if it is built with slop to begin with then I would imagine this eliminates this chassis break in period? Either way, this car is well designed and drives like no other 4 wheel. It's as aggressive as you want and easily mellowed out. Excellent choice for someone looking to get into 4 wheel buggy.

My current setup is AE red fronts with 37.5 and 2x1.6, and AE white rears with 32.5 and 2x1.7. When I first got the car, I got is used and ran it as it was to get a baseline. The thing drove like a washboard and was al lover the place, when I got it home I took it apart and found that he had modded some stock pistons by plugging off 2 holes in each and was essentially running 2x1.2 fronts and 2x1.4 rears. The changes I made helped smooth out the car a lot, our track is very bumpy.
Should I stiffen up both the front springs and oil you think?

If you can post up a video of you driving it, curious if its setup or driver skill with learning 4w buggy. Also have one of the local fast guys in 4w buggy try it out and see what they think, that can help a lot as well.
I put a 7.5 motor in mine just so I wouldn't get in over my head. So far its been perfect and fast enough to keep up with the fast guys as well.

I wish I could post a picture. I have been running the serpent caps for two race weekends with zero issues. The fronts screwed right on while the rear caps showed resistance. It may seem that they don't work , but there was coating in the threads that needed cleaned out. Once the threads were cleaned out,, the caps screwed on with ease. I used the emulsion seal in the cap and have zero leaking issues.
