I would think that cross pins see a large amount of force. Especially the thicker the fluid is. Under full acceleration all the force in the center diff is being put on the cross pins is it not? Correct me if I'm wrong but if those pins were to sheer off, the diff housing would spin but not the out drives. I just don't see the advantage of a composite cross pin, give me steel.

I believe the biggest benefits will be seen on rough tracks, as the extra piston speed and further out shocks allow for better control of bump handling and jump landing pack via piston/oil changes more independently, which should lead to more stability. I haven't driven it or played with it yet though ('cause, well, they're not shipping yet), so I can't tell you for sure.

when you click buy, it will take you to a page asking you if you want to preorder. you are not charged till it ships. Coupons work too. Got mine pre-ordered for $339.99 shipped.

It looks like they will have green front springs, black rears and 10 x 1.2s with 2.6mm swaybar up font and 2.4mm rear according to the part list. No new parts show up so we will have to see if/when that changes.
I won't mind having another SCT...

looks like it will be all composite hingepin braces front and rear? Does that look like that for everyone else too?
I am hopeful the include the alloy front one like they did before at least.

yeah, if tower does the E-cash thing again, maybe I'll do another order and cancel based on when the season gets going, will see.
One thing I am curious about is with the new bearing setup, it looks like they should be more robust on the carrier side of things.
Would the EB48SL be a good option then now in 1/8 E buggy on 4S? This is more so to share parts I am looking at, so could do 2 the new SCT410.3 and the EB48SL (no .3?) and go from there.
Of course would need longer straps for 4S probably, and then the mount that will work for the larger motor.

As many SCT410 owners are looking at this and trying to weigh options. What are the chances that a "geometry update kit" will be released? I know a lot of people that have the lightened drive train, 7075 chassis, and other option parts that have been available. But to bundle up the hinge pin holders with the square pills and the new arms and hubs, or any other newly introduced features would be a nice gesture to support the many 1.0 folks out here.
In the same boat. Pretty much have everything. Split diff,M2C chassis, and BCE chassis. Alm. drive shafts.
