With all the hype lately about the new hot bodies d413 and seeing someone else do a very nice job of making a "v5" 410 using the desc410 center diff, I decided to give it a shot.
My main goal was to get a 3rd diff in the buggy as cheaply as possible. I think I have accomplished that!
I bought the cheapest diff I could find. HobbyKing has one for $11 from their China warehouse. I also had a bunch of g10/fr4 laying around from my customer dex210 build. The last key part was an extra middle rear dogbone I had laying around from a packaging error when I originally built my 410. To finish it off I went to the hardware store to buy a bunch of screws and nuts for a few bucks.
After a bit of work and some creative dremel use, I have this!
It's not the nicest build, but I accomplished my goal. The only thing I'm waiting on now is a 3mm bore mod1 pinion. That should be in before the end of the week hopefully.
