Does any one have a solution? maybe diff rims or longer outer axles?

Have you considered using a dremel to grind a notch where the rim touches?

I would have to dremel the arm its self, while not a huge deal. I'm using V1 parts which are brittle from my understanding, I'm afraid to weaken it to much.

I may try trimming the inside of the wheel itself.

If you Dremel the arm, try to make a smooth cut with no sharp edges. Sharp edges focus impact forces and make a breakage more likely.

Got another dilemma. Somehow I broke the battery holder and there are NONE to be found. I was wondering about cutting a slot for the battery tape in the chassis so I can use a different brand. Anyone try this?

The problem is the holder itself has the tape loop molded in. I was thinking Exotek xray holders but no integrated tape loop. The other solution is double sided tape I suppose.

Hmm, I can look thru my parts and see if I have any extra. I for sure have 1 set but I want atleast one back up.

Have you tried looking at 3racing?

I know how you feel.

I went through a phase when I broke 3 of those guys in a month and of course it was always the front one.

I have a few other parts I designed for the DETC410 but given the circumstances, I have to hold off from making any new parts.

If you make another set of those battery holder I may be interested. They look really nice.
