Default Carbon Chassis on DEX410

Hey Guys,

I'm looking to use a carbon chassis on my Dex410 but i dont know how good the handling can be.

I plan to run on med grip with loose soil.

I dont know what is the best setup on this surface, :

Alu side pod+carbon chassis...
Plastic side+carbon or
Plastic side + alu chassis

What are your suggestion ?

there is no benefit, its just Kudos

There is a down side, as its lighter you'd need to start adding weights here and there.

you wouldn't need to add weights here and there. you make it sound like it's essential to do so... the DEX410 is rarely under 1700g anyway so a good 100g above the min weight for 4wd 10th BRCA events.

Sure you'd shave a few grams off it's weight, but not to the point where you'd' ned to start putting it back on

ive taken all the weight off my 410ultra now.

Since i adjusted the front droop its not been an issue, it was flying on Friday night! 3rd in the "A" well happy with that!

Because the 410ultra has very little flex, the cars seems much more "pointy"
it changes direction quicker and feels alltoghether more driveable.
