thanks

This car is pretty sweet to drive. It can be driven hard and is still forgiving. Coming off a summer of driving 1/8 scale this car is a perfect fit.
AE has a 3/16 shim that works perfect on the Ackerman to take out the slop. And it's only $3
And after driving my car my buddy with a zx6 is pissed that he bought the wrong car

Had my first real race yesterday. Car felt really good overall. In the A main though, my front shock cup became dislodged and fell off (really hurts performance obviously). Do you guys zip tie these to the bottom coil of the spring? These are the standard ones, not the mud guard type.
What is the advantage of running the wing mounts upside down?
What are you using to glue your arm inserts on?

Increasing Arms Stiffness
We know the D413 has "Signature HB Monocoque suspension arms for stiffness, strength and adjustability" but you can increase the stiffness without buying the carbon fiber plates.

Wing Mounts

Got to the front diff and got everything together and stripped one of those tiny screws. Bummer for sure. Just built a Kyosho RT6 the last 2 days and didn't strip a single screw. Guess I'll whip out the Dremel.

and dont use a electric screwdriver.

Also its a 1.3mm size hex driver, not a .050. That will strip a screw.
