OK, I just ordered up a WE. Normally I'm one to read a whole thread when I get something new but I've read far enough back to make my eyes bleed so I'm calling that good. 
I've got TryHard's site and that answered 95% of my questions.
It sounds like my ThunderPower 5000 40C packs will fit. I plan on getting a ppd lipo plate (just the bottom).
Any chance the Diggity brace or one like it will fit the WE? Any other way to fit a battery hold-down or should I just tape?
Thanks!

Parts is hard to fine on most of the online site, where do most of the racers buy there parts? I tried rc mart, rc market, rc mushroom and our LHS and no one seem to carry the 416we parts any suggestion?

i think all is rosey in the TRF416 camp
we have had a lot of rain here in holland lately and there was a 1:5 race last weekend at our track so we couldnt train and now the track is full of small balls of rubber from the 1:5 tyres
so no one wants to train at the moment
i am building a new indoor track above my work and it will be finished in a couple of weeks for all the dutch and European people who want some dry training this winter

Rebound is the amount the shock pushes out after it is squashed in without the spring on it
i ALWAYS build mine as Jilles does with no rebound
this is quite hard to do without getting air into the shock but what i do is fill the shock and remove the air as you would normally , then i push the shock shaft 3/4 to 4/5th up the shock , place the rubber bladder on and press carfully but firmly on the bladder with a 2.5mm allen key to get the air out , then without the foam insert in i screw the top on and check to see how far the shock pushes out
watch this
