Hi,
I have tried with a gear-diff with 500k oil.
Did you have the same problem?
It should have been eliminated with a diff
Downstop has been checked, and we have even tried some extreme downstops (in both directions).
We have also tried with the shocks detached.
That would only give you more chatter
I started on my 4th battery in this indoor season, between two outings. I didn't have a crash. I have just barely touched the inside of a corner on the curb a couple of times, but nothing serious.
After that it started?

44mm.
The problem didn't go away with a gear-diff.
It first appeared on my 4th run of the indoor-season. There was nothing in the first 3 runs, but on the 4th it started making some grinding noices. I took it in immediatly, and then I noticed the extreme vibrations.

Grinding noises sounds like bearings or a CVD that is eating your steering knuckles up.
There isn't a pin that goes true your CVD almost out?
Look for wear and tear there or even a bend axle stub.
Also a damaged spoolcup can do strange things.
It it deffo somewhere in the drive train.
As a diff would have eliminate chatter.

Spool-cups have been changed - same issue.

Is your front drive shaft rubbing the stabilizer by any chance? I find out that certain setting the drive shaft might come in contact with the front stabilizer.

besides xenon, would this duratrax and hpi spur fit? Not usually my first choice of spurs, but I need to make an order soon and don't have the car.
are there any other brands that fit the 417?
looking at the manual, it looks like you need holes at the 12,3,6 & 9 o'clock positions.

Make sure the screws that going into the steering blocks are not too long and hitting the axle.
You have to isolate the issue...rule out one thing then move to the next.
I personally think based on the video...that you are trying to use entirely too much steering, and hitting the natural limitations of a traditional CVA. Just go buy some Xray or Hot bodies double joint universals and make them fit.
I have run on a lot of different surfaces and have never had the issues you are trying to overcome. Just not sure what to tell you anymore. There are a lot of people around the world that seem to be able to make this car work just fine without any modifications.

After watching the video that is totally normal with that much steering throw the universals are at there max and binding up. You would need to get some of the spec-R double joint ones or wait till tamiya comes out with there own. At the IIC Viktor and Marc were testing some tamiya prototypes.
