Hi, well im probably the first Norwegian driving the D413 and today where my first race with it. I have not had any time to practice with it because i came home from the US on friday and a friend of mine built it so it was ready when i came home. I have not drove any 4WD at all this year so i was also out of practice.
So i ran this setup

Under the qualifying rounds i did a couple of changes due to traction roll and the rear felt kinda hard on the rear bumped up sometimes on minor bumps.
What i did to prevent the traction roll where moving the upper rear shock mounts one slot inward. I also had camber both rear and front to -2
For the rear shocks i switched to 25 losi oil. It got alot softer on the rear. The buggy runs really good but the driver where so out of shape compared to my 2WD driving.
Where i need to play some more is with the diffs. It also got a bit rainy and it then became very loose in the rear.
My impressions about the buggy so far is awesome.
In 7 heats i did not break a single part on this beast. So no doubt about the rigidity here. The only thing i noticed as a weakness was the pins that holds the wing in place. 2 times they popped out and 1 time the wing fell of.
I must say that i overjumped alot due to the power difference between 2WD and 4WD, and it bounced in all kinds of directions. slamming really hard sometimes.
My biggest worry is the shock caps. And the big opening in the front when it rains. Today i use some ductape to cover part of this opening from spinning water from the front tires when turning.
The surface we have is smooth high traction astro. really short grass. And we have some big jumps. I cant wait to get some more practice with this buggy.
Cheers
Roy
