Try to use the longer double cardin pin as drive pin as the current kit diff's pins are a tad shorter

Finally got my 419 the way I always wanted.
Raceberry Carbon is absolute peach!

Can't wait to test it this coming weekend.

Do you or anyone in this thread mind sharing some more shots near the receiver and esc?
I would like to know how pros do the wire management.
I think I did pretty good so far, but the wire still looks messy.
I do know making sure all the wires are black makes a clean looking car.

Does anyone have experience with both tamiya 42291 aluminum big bore dampers and 42273 trf short dampers ? I believe there both 3 or 4mm shorter. Im looking to test the short shock towers but I want to use standard 25mm length springs if possible.

It depends what towers you use. The ones I did were for those shocks you list above. The big bore ones are the same length as the TRF short, but allow more oil. These allow you to use proper 25mm springs. Here is a track test by someone that got a set.

Nice looking 419, let us know how that new chassis performs.

Here's a close up of my little nest. I mount the fan on the motor and float it off the chassis. That being said, I'm no pro

Are there any option parts for battery security other than taping it in and/or double sided tape? Anything similar to the "Lipo Tray" like on the TC6 and TC7? Thanks in advance.
