So I've finally accumulated everything I needed for the most part to give this a shot. The 210.3 is a 2WD conversion of the SCT410.3

Found a bunch of great info on this in the FB forum and used it as a foundation to start with.
This started as a SL buggy roller which is pretty much a SCT 410.3
I still have the shocks to build, and set ride height, droop, camber, and toe but here's where I'm at.
The foams have been trimmed to allow a softer tire profile. Rear hubs have been shaved so I can push them forward 2mm over stock. Using the original hubs for my local track as it's pretty low traction. The Avid Sabertooth wheels I'm using are very flexible for increased traction. Went with Panther Boa super soft compound on this as well. It has the .4 steering update powered by a LV SRT servo. I have 100K in the center diff right now to start. May slip too much, but I figured I'd start there. I have 500K and 1 mil CST on hand as well. The rear diff is filled with 5K and I'm only using 2 spider gears. Supposed to act more like a ball diff with the 2 spider gears.
As you can see the electronics layout has been has been reconfigured. No side guards as I'm trying to shave weight. The front chassis brace has been cut in half and no rear or center braces are installed. Trying everything I can for traction. Running shorty packs in this one for weight savings also. Sure I'm forgetting some things but that's pretty much what's going on. I may back down to a 2 pole motor but I'm trying this Castle setup before I make a change.
Once I finalize things I'll post a setup sheet of exactly what's going on.
