Default As a 2wd

Myself and a club mate have been using the D413 as a 2wd on carpet high traction and have to say that it is working really well.
It works better than my 2wd that I was really happy with.
A MM cheater car.
Im with saddles and CF chassis, mates with shorty and avid chassis. His is a little calmer.
Mine wants to swap ends out of corners with a hard trigger but Im testing a few more things tomorrow.

I can recommend it
Rear arms flipped and shocks on back

What did you do to the centre diff?

I’ve been thinking about doing this for a while as my D413 it so easy to drive and virtually indestructible, it’s a tank. LOL

I hope Hot Bodies bring out a 2wd mid motor layout, I bet it will be more likely rear motor like the YZ-2.

It looks a little bit like a centro.

I also tested mine as 2wd on indoor carpet look alike surface. Running shorty and cf chassis. Didn`t do anything with the centerdiff and it worked like a charm. A fellow club driver which is top 2 in Norway tried it and he was very suprised how good it was as a 2wd

Default 2wd

Same here.
Works superbly as a 2wd. Shortie c/f chassis, esc rear.
Not tried the shocks on the rear yet. Also the front hinge pin holder I have turned it upside down to give the kick up of a 2wd.
Center diff has 300,000wt oil but needs to be about 500,000wt to give the feel I want.
