I'm currently at 1760 grams. With all stock setup. I ordered carbon fiber battery strap, carbon fan mount ,front and rear towers and front brace. Should drop a good amount of weight

You definitely don't need the screw kit, especially on carpet where a really low weight isn't needed. The bearing kit from RC Speed Secrets is a surprisingly big difference though. I'd get that and things to increase your durability like Lunsford links.

Thanks for your input, Durability and ease of use are going to be my big to factors for me since I'm so new. Just trying to but together a buy list. I will need a 13.5 motor as far as electronics go, and then whatever replaceable parts I may need on hand as I break things.

Got to drive the EB410 this weekend and car was awesome. Was able to TQ and win 13.5 4wd at round one of Tyler Hook's Southern Winter Payout Series. Ran Mason's Surf City setup with 15k and 7k diff setup with a center Exotek locker. Car was awesome all day with qualifying times that would have put me 4th in the Mod 4wd A. Car weighed in at 1654.

Congratulations on winning Hooks race for 13.5 4WD. I plan on entering when it comes to Thornhill. When you used the Exotek locker did you use the spur that came with it 75T or did you go with a smaller one. What spur and Pinion combo did you go with. I tried it out last weekend and I used 75-27. It felt good but I feel I need to change the gearing. Thanks.

I think something that could handle a new driver better would be better for me. Most guys at the track are using associated. It's an outdoor bumpy dirt track with dusty to sandy conditions most of the time. (mostly the reason I'm switching over to a 4wd car) What are your thoughts for the guys who have driven and worked on both?
its always a good idea to use what most of the fast guys at your track are using. Plenty of setup tips and parts support for the B64D. As for the EB410 its a tank and can take a pounding plus its easy to drive. I would just talk to people at your track that drive both and go from there.

If I remember correctly I swapped to a 69T spur. Ill have to see where I was with gearing. Maybe one tooth lower than what the manual suggested with the 70T.

Is this the locker you're referring to? If so, what else is required? I'm assuming diff shims to space it?

It's carbon fiber goody time once again folks! It looks like the people over at Bezerk RC have considered our worries about the top mounted fan not fitting under certain bodies and their angled fan mount seems to be the ticket! Check 'em out. I ordered the fan mount/center diff cap, and just the standard center diff cap. All came out to $26 shipped. Though shipping will probably be like snail mail lol.

Yes that is the locked Diff. With a little shimming it fits perfect.

I also looked into the Bezerk RC locked diff but you also need to buy more parts with it. With the Exotek is one and done. I also had to order it from Hong Kong and it came within a week. Had a guy at our local track try to find one and could not.

Thanks for the info. I will need to try it with a smaller spur and see how it feels.

do you need a different front drive shaft? I remember reading some guys using the B64 diff that required a different front drive shaft.
