Comes with an 81t spur (Or 80?). There will be an optional 70t spur is for those that want to run 13.5t class. If your going to run mod, stick with stock.

I see that you're planning to run on carpet
I see that you raised the rear diff house, what else did you change for carpet
what diff fluids did you use

Dunno why you had any trouble with the d413 build. It was a smooth build for me and without anything noteworthy. One of the best quality kits I've ever dealt with. Instructions aren't for the kid or novice so much but are good for an experienced modeler.

The tekno instructions look very well detailed and done with lots of care. They and xray probably have the best on the market at the moment.

Please post some pics for us to see on how yours turned out.
Didn't like putting the diffs together.. It took awhile to get the c-clips in the gears and one of them popped off as I was putting it on. 10 mins later I found it on the floor and continued.

In driving this I can tell that there is A LOT of steering however the car drives pretty predictable. I have a 13.5 motor in it and of course it could be more controllable than the 6.0 that I had in my D413.

Also while I was at the track the team drivers did up the weight of the oil in the front shocks because of the amount of steering there was. A lot of people are also turning down the steering EPA on the radios as well.

Overall I am happy with this buggy.. I need to get used to driving a wheeler again but I am not disappointed with it.

No extra spurs were sent other than the 81t in my box..

Also I do know that even though they have the part numbers the 70 is not on their list of things to order. To try to get the gearing the same as the recommended I went with a 29t pinion.

Your right, I worded it wrong. The 70T is an optional spur that will be available.

This alone would make me hate the car. C-clips suck!! I won't own a vehicle with the stupid things, because the damn thing flies off and is lost every time.

I've slowly eliminated them on my baja 5t

clip can be challenging.

install in a large zip lok takes care of the loss issue, in addition to correct handling.

I've almost perfected the art of c-clip installation after years of dealing with it on my DEX210. It's not so bad. I just use a flat head screwdriver and my thumb over the clip

I race on very high grip AstroTurf tracks here in the U.K., it’s quite normal to add weight to the rear to calm the steering down, cars tend to want to fly off the track with the amount of grip we have.

Anyone on here have their cars ready to race that can toss it on a corner scale to find the front/rear bias? All my math says it has more weight on the front than the rear out of the box, but some real world numbers would be nice.
How long before a new chassis and parts come out moving the spur / motor and lipo back 20mm? 3 months?.....oh that won't work - rear shaft angle...err..

If you guys experience rear grip issues,as like the 1/8’s cars, it was not designed to run both rear braces. Not to say you couldn’t run both but depends on grip and in most cases both are not used. A little flex is good

I give it 9-12 months. I think the EB410.1 will have that adjustability. That or an aftermarket company will step up first.

Rear shaft angle won't matter. They advertised it as having less than 1 degree of angle for the center driveshafts.
