All this talk about hinge pins reminds me of Yeti users beefing up front end. A couple of $ for spare pins, and your good to go.
Anyone out there running aftermarket front bumper on their ET410? I know I'm getting ready to give it a go with a TBR piece bolted on the front end. I'm hoping the bumper absorbs more energy than transferring it to something else. We shall see.

Ya I broke my rear bulkhead as well on my first time out with my ET but the hinge pins were all straight still. The second and third times out I brought it home in one peice. Friday though on my 4th time out I broke a rear hub. Again though all of the hinge pins look good. Has anybody else been breaking rear hubs? I was thinking about getting the Trinity aluminum hubs but somethings got to give and the a-arms seem pretty tough so if I go aluminum I'm affraid it's the bulkhead that will go every time. And hubs are cheaper and easier to change.

My guess is the ET410 has gotten really popular since it’s release a short time ago. But majority of owners aren’t the “hardcore racers”. Rather its for the guys who go to the track with a group of friends to have a good time and a few good laughs. I’m sure there would be far less broken parts if the owners didn’t crash as often, especially myself lol. I can count a good 20 ET410 owners at our local track, yet we still don’t have a dedicated class for racing.
As for the front, Exotek makes a nice heavy duty brace that reinforces the shocktower with the bulkhead.
As for the inner hingepins, it might be designed to snap before the bulkhead or arms do.

Ran a couple of packs through my eb410MIP to et410MIP to et410. I honestly believe the MIP chassis is not cool for a et410. It now jumps a lot more predictable. Love how it powers through the corners. Yes, I still race a eb410MIP, and love it. I have kept the Rear shock in front of rear towers all the time for testing. This was on indoor clay. Now just have a bit of a heating issue. Reedy 510r speed control with a Maclan 6.5, 15 pinion. Fans on both, seems like it was just making 5 minutes without getting to hot. Both are older and a bit abused. Ordered a Maclan Pro and their new 5.5. Bet either the Motor or Speed control were going bad. The other couple et410's were goofing around for at least twice as long, with similar setups.

i can can go a solid 20min and have temps come off on Moyer and speedo around 1210 to 120
glad to hear that MIP chassis was the culprit of the jumps being off

unfortunately there was no class at the track i ran. i ended up running the ET in two classes (1/10 buggy and 1/8 buggy). TQ'd both. ended up second in 1/10 and first in 1/8. was completely dialed with kit setup and 40 gram weight in rear.
