I don't have any pics yet but a crack developed right along the set screw. I was more careful with the other three lightened hexes and none of those cracked.

My local indoor track is med size with tacky clay. I went from an SCT410 without any of the lightened bits to the SCT410.3 and started with the stock setup. During practice, I noticed the truck rotated in the turns a little faster on power than I was used to, and had a slight tendency to roll in the fast sweeper sections. I went up to a pink rear spring, lowered ride height by 1 mm front and rear, and later lengthened the rear camber link to the inner/lower hole on the tower (3-B if you go by the manual's notation). The roll center change made an immediate improvement so I stopped tweaking there before the main (TQ and 1st), but next time I'll try going up a notch in rear shock oil and maybe to a green rear spring. I left my old truck whole and loaned it out to my father-in-law, so side by side comparisons were easy to make between the trucks. I'd say the new SCT410.3 can be pushed faster through the turns for sure
