On saturday, i ran the first time on an hight traction indoor carpet track with my 410v3, man, what a different to dirt tracks....!![EEK!](https://www.rctech.net/forum/classic_images/smilies/eek.gif)
After a fiew changes, I liked it very much, but i hade some issues with the ball caps poping off from the steering link, twice i lost the complet steering link on the right hand side, when i hit the side board just a little bit!![weird](https://www.rctech.net/forum/classic_images/smilies/weird.gif)
After some looking, i saw, that the ball cabs on the inner site hit the ackemann and pushed it up a little bit, when the suspension is fully dropt in.
I did a little bit material off, with an key fail from the ball cabs and it was quit better.
If wanted, i can make a pic of it?
But decidet, that i will boil my spare ball cabs in hot water, so i readed in another post here.
For how long do you boil them?

Where do I start in this 800+ page thread. I just got a dex410. It is not the latest model. What does it need and where do I go for set up sheets. I am also seeing alot of people post about overheating issues. Is there something I need to do to prevent this?
Thanks,

Definitely install the droop screws. They are great for setting droop. Without them, you'd have to put spacers in the shock and that's a pain when you want to change the setting. I only wish the front arms had them as well.

Which version do you have ? Is it stock ? Hard to say what you need without more info . I have never had an overheating problem with any of mine so not sure why some are .

I would get the aluminum suspension mounts front and rear are needed . Aluminum servo saver arm and aluminum rear diff hoop would be a good idea but not as crucial as the mounts .

Hi there
Are the big bores a must have on the dex410?
I see many pro's like jörn running the small bore shocks on their dex410

I have another issue need more rear traction, buggy wants to spin when i apply the throttle even if i'm rolling. any suggestions would be helpfull. running a tekin rs w/reedy 8.5 with a 87/20.

try at 24 or 25 / 87 with a 8.5 motor
turn current limiter down on your hot wire to 75% as well

What piston blanks are people using to make 2 x 1.7mm etc. for the BB shock? I ordered a set of blanks from Tresrey but are not designed to fit the stock shaft. They use 2 e-clips--wish I would have looked closer!!

45wt losi oil w/ the 1.2x6 is great on the buggy fronts (paired w/ the blue springs and about 10-15% rebound).. rears I run the 1.3x6 w/ 40wt losi oil. Handles great.
PS on the others.. 8.5's are great at most tracks, especially indoor racing. May want more or to boost the 8.5 on a large outdoor if you feel you are at a disadvantage on a straight but through most of the track and short run ups to jumps you will like the torque of the 8.5. I like 20-22t myself.
