Parts are starting to arrive at Tower and Amain. Looks like Monday everything will be in. Time to stock up.

I usually get the 22-4 wheels when buying the DE colored wheels and even if I get the White or Yellows, since they are cheaper than the HB wheels and plus most LHS carry the 22-4 style wheels

Ok I just got done switching my setup to a high bite carpet setup from petite Rc. It feels. Very different than what I am used to. I switched to my schelle alum chasis, 60w rear and 40w front shock fluid, Setup called for 1.3 Pistons but I only had the 1.6 and 1.7 I think they are so I left those. I changed all the shims and hinge pin hangers etc... I am used to a light shock pkg where it would spring back up after compressed. This Package slows it down a lot. I have the spring adjusters turned all the way down and it only springs back up to where the arms are parallel with the ground. Is this what I want?
I also went to 3k rear, 20k front and 60k center on the diffs.
And I got the pinpoint tires and ran them on Saturday (with the old clay setup) and wow that thing sticks to the track
Like crazy.
I am also wondering about my current shock orings. i noticed that the rear shocks had black gook on the body and lower cap the other day so when I took them apart I noticed the previous owner had installed what looks like traxxas x-rings. Do those work better than the stock HB orings? I hate leaky shocks. The front also have the xrings but I didn't notice any leaking from the fronts, just the rears. So I was going to order HB orings but wasn't sure if I was downgrading by installing those and if I should just get new xrings

Hi,
As noted on the product page- both holes matches the position of the stock D413 hubs.

Not specifically the D413 but 4wd in general, I feel floating mounts are inconsistent. The more traction goes up, the more the servo flexes and doesnt feel centered due to the front tires pulling on the links... This is not as noticeable when traction is lower. Pretty much feels like a servo saver FWIW.

Do you use the shim to match the upper position on the hub and no shim to match the the lower position?

Correct

Some people did run the traxxas in the past but the newer HB work great. With carpet remember the lower your car the better it corners and stays planted. LCG if you have to much bite consider removing a row of pins off the outer portion of your rear tires.

Sorry, but I can't seem to get a straight answer with the search function and I need to place an order ASAP so I have wheels/tires this weekend. I don't have the D413 yet but I bought one used and want to run it this weekend if possible.

Will any 12MM Hex wheel work for this?

B5M Rear

I did a little more searching and it appears that TLR 22-4 fronts work well, and just about any 12mm rears work well.

Is that accurate?

Yes that is accurate.

I race on a low grip outdoor clay track and my car isn't carrying as much corner speed as I'd like. It does everything very well except carrying corner speed. Attached is my setup. Does anyone have any suggestions?
