How many MaH are you guys running in your batteries for club racing with a shorty pack? Looking to get 10 min of run time with a 6.5 motor.

Just wanted to give some update on my car, I've started with Ty low traction setup which gave me good lap times but the rear end was loose out of corners and I had way to much steering. I put 5k in the rear which helped the rear end. I put kyosho front yellow spring which also helped. Then I changed to 2mm behind thd ballstud On the steering rack, which really smoothed out the steering. The car is finally starting to get better. Next in going to change the diff fluid in the front to 15k or 20k

More washers behind the ballstud didn't increase your steering??

As more setups emerge and more guys are getting track time with the buggy. Has anyone moved from the stock setup with the Steering Crank bar (part #112764)? There are far more options than just raising/lowering the ball stud position. What does the +/- sides do? Dot front vs dot rear? Thanks

Thanks so much, wow so much for attention to detail, it would have become obvious when I tried to mount the motor LOL, so I really wanted to start with a 19t pinion but I just did not like the slop and with all the talk of people stripping spurs so I went to a 20t hopefully it will not run too hot.

Not at all it made it smoother, I have the dot in front and a total 2mm washers behind the ballstud. The change was noticeable enough that our track announcer was shocked by the pace I was able to set

I run a 22t with my Gen 2 6.5 so 20t should be good.

RockStew

Sweet! thanks that makes me feel better, I would really prefer the 6.5 but I had this 5.5 laying around from an experiment gone bad that had only one run on it, so why not use it for this buggy I say.

I got a 21t pinion for mine to try out
on a 6.5 gen 2 tekin
would the 22 make it a little easier coming out of corner
without losing traction? (less torque)?

Less Torque yes, for me it made it easier to drive overall.

me and my buddy both run our D413's on the same low grip hardpacked dirt track. I did shorty from the start, He ran his in saddle for the first 2 months.
After that he switched to shorty. He told me the d413 feels more nimble and reacts better to input and setup changes. mainly because the buggy is atleast a 100 grams lighter.

we also tested a lot of different oil weights in the center diff.

I went from 5k to 7k, to 10k, to 15k, to 20k and now Im running 50K in the center. each step up brought the buggy more to where I want it to be.
I do not want to much pull from the front wheels, and I do not want the buggy to push to much resulting in the rear stepping out when hitting the throttle hard coming out of a corner.

50K seems the ticket for me on low grip hardpacked.

in short I have :

shorty setup
3 hole 1.3 piston rear
2 hole 1.4 piston front
25 wt rear shock
35 wt front shock
stock springs
10K front diff
50k center diff
3k rear diff
thickest front swaybar
no rear swaybar
long wheelbase
zero anti squad rear
12 kick-up front
proline calibers M3 front+ rear
shorty in rear position
shock position pretty much stock
3.5 rear toe-in
-2.5 camber rear
the rest is almost stock by the book

Appreciate your input...would you happen to have any video footage of your D413 in action?

murky123

I have some pics of my buggy a few pages back.
no video unfortunately
I do have a link of a video of our track. carpet op the jumps. 20% of our track has good traction couse of the carpet,

The R/C fairy left a present for me while I was at work !

I would try to lower the front and raise the rear ride height by a mm. Then try
other sway bar configurations, first maybe without the rear then with the copper front.
