Got a chance to run this today for the first time at SRS. It's been a little bit since i ran a 1/10 scale and it's my 1st time with a 1/10 4wd. Boy what a treat this car is! But one question i have is...What would cause the rear wheel to come off the ground in a turn? I went with Ty's 2014 nationals set up with the exception of pistons and springs. I used the box stock springs and the 1.4 pistons front and rear.

I don't necessarily feel that lifting that rear wheel is the end of the world. If you are losing control or your lap times are suffering then I could see it. To me, the situations where the wheel lifts are when the majority of your weight is on the front. You can't even tell that the wheel lifts other than visually. Maybe that's just me.

Can anyone tell me where to acquire shock ends for the 413. Or does another brand work? Only looking for ends, I don't really want to have to buy shock guards and spring retainers just to get the shock ends.

I cant seem to locate anywhere online where to buy the e-clips used on the bevel gears to lock the bearings in place. The book shows the same part number as the diff shims? Im confused as ive found the diff shims online but no where does it say it comes with those 2 e-clips as well. Anyone have insitght on this would be much appericated.

Ball cups?
Don't get me wrong this car is fricking awesome but I guess I'm too OCD to deal with the slop. So for now I've replaced most of the cups with Kyosho ball cups and I'm also using Lunsford Ti 4.8mm Ball Studs. I drilled the Kyosho cups so I can use a ball driver to remove the stud later. For now I have the stock off set ball cups on the outer part of the steering chain as I'm not sure what I can use to replace the stock offset version. Ideas and suggestions welcome! Thanks in advance.

I am new to 10th scale and I am looking to get into 10th scale racing. I am debating between the D413 and the Xray XB4. I have read that the Xray is a very easy car to drive compared to the team Durango dex410 which is very aggressive and jerky. Anyone here driven both the D413 and the Xray that can give me a comparison? Or even just explain what type of driving I will get with the D413? How is Parts support, Durability and any other advice or suggestions is appreciated. Thank you. I really like how the D413 is designed as far as having a CD and steel diff gears. Seems like a full 8th scale buggy just shrunk down. I have recently been driving in 8th scale class.

The d413 is a tank and handles just as well as the xray but I can drive it a lot harder and it's more forgiving in the tough stuff as it has a ton of wheel travel. It can land any way you want and it soaks it up. This ability allows me to turn faster more consistent laps with the d413.
