Hello everyone. After being away from off road racing for 9 years my son and I have decided to start racing at Leisure Hours indoor this coming fall. I do rc drag racing during the summer otherwise we would go back sooner. Back when we raced off road we ran BJ4's so we wanted to get back into the 4 wheel buggy class. After a few weeks of investigation we decided on the D413. I just bought a couple of cars from a member here on RC Tech.
I have been out of touch with the electric side of rc because I've been racing nitro dragsters and quarter scale drag gas cars. I need some advice on what speed control, motor, servo you guys recommend to outfit our buggies. We plan on racing in the 13.5 class.
I use a 4PKR and my son plans on getting a similar radio so those are good to go. We will of course get some hinge pins, shock caps,arms etc. before we start racing. Also is anyone running the Schelle carbon chassis……what do you think? Thank you all for all the information on this thread.

I run the Schelle chassis. Great upgrade. Still have a bunch of NIP parts. Get extra screws for the suspension mounts. May want some front shock shafts. I've not broken a single part.

I'm also running the schelle upgrade, bought to get the ALUM Schelle version for Carpet. Schelle stretch carbon made the car uber stable and easier to control in the air.

shock shafts are the only thing i've broken. It was my fault tho. I wasn't paying attention and took a car full speed head on. the other car was a D413 and Not a single thing broke.

Newbie type question. Built a few kits including the D413. Anyway, picked up the Avid aluminum chassis (the basic stock replacement). Any build type tips when I break this bad boy down? Basically I'm taking it all a part and putting back together right? Just curious if you guys have a method. Thanks.

Thank you guys for the help. Still wondering how strong a steering servo I should get. Any thoughts?

I like good servos. My son ran a Savox 1258 in his and it worked fine. I would say that would be about the type of specs you would be looking for at a minimum.

I've been running the Savox 1258tg without the HB servo saver since the release of this buggy. Can't go wrong with it. Also running the aluminum HB servo arm.

I've been using the Protek 100ss in several cars for the last year. Most recently in my d413. It puts out 168 oz-in of torque which is more than enough for any 1/10 race buggy. They take some serious abuse without any failures. I have them in a t5m, sc5m, b5m, and now my d413.
