Tricked out EB410's!

[TBuggy]

I figured I would just start a thread so people can post pics and a list of mods/upgrades they have in their buggies. There is a thread for most recommended EB410 upgrades and I have one for EB410 tweaks and mods but think we can have another that is more focus on "tricked out" rides! I am thinking this includes all the bells and whistles...ones that don't necessarily even make your car a better performer but ones that just give it a wow factor or makes it stand out from others! The upgrades and mods that make it better count too!

Lets see some of buggies that you couldn't resist putting the extra little bit into to make them yours!!

I will post some good pics and a compiled list of my buggies later tonight, when I get home. Anybody feel free to start the thread off though!!

I'll be the first to show how to blow an obscene amount of money on 1 car lol.
List of Mods:
MIP chassis, aluminum shock caps,carbon front and rear tower, titanium turnbuckles, titanium screws, exotek steering rack, composite diff gears, full speed secret bearing set, exotek titanium hing pins, exotek rear hubs, aluminum stub axles front and rear, titanium shock standoffs. Not mods but have front and rear seat bar sets and every available spring for it. For my stk chassis I have the puck kit and carbon fan mount and top plate.

If you don't mind editing your post and include a list of everything you added...that would be awesome!!

Nice looking ride!!!

They are great cars, built like a tank and are so fun to drive. Please know that 80 - 90% of the parts I have on my car are absolutely NOT needed

My clay runner:

Protek Titanium screws through out (except the lower chassis screws in rear...I wanted the weight down low back there)
Protek aluminum servo horn (lighter than tekno)
Protek aluminum spacers
T-works Titanium ball studs
Lunsford Titanium shock stand offs
Lunsford Titanium turnbuckles
Exotek titanium wing buttons
Exotek rear hubs
Exotek rear steel "D" block (13g)
Exotek chassis weight (using 40g)
Tekno cabon fiber top plates; center and front
Tekno carbon fiber shock towers
Tekno composite gears
Tekno +1mm hexes
Tekno lite weight body
Tekno Delrin pistons (front 1.7mm and back 2.0mm)
Tekno Aluminum shock caps
TLR shock limiters (using small spacers to accomplish the same thing MIP shock cartridge set does)
Avid carbon fiber battery strap and aluminum thumb screw
MIP puck system
Mattox designs indoor chassis protector
Avid bearings
Homemade lexan wing riser
PT diff and shock oils

Running Tekin Spec R 13.5/ Gen2 RS (Swapped ESC for Tekin RS pro BE)
Protek 130t servo
Powered by Team Orion 3800mah shorties

With the lite weight body its a lean 1638g RTR.

Haven't installed my tini shock shafts yet. Probably wont until I need to either.
Had the Exotek spool installed but took out after installing composite gears to be safe. I like it with the center diff back in better now anyways. Also removed the front sway bar...liking the way I can carry out of a corner after removing it again.

Nice looking setup you have there. Running the lp battery what did you use to take up the space between the battery and battery strap?

It was just some stiffer (but still squishy) foam I had laying around. I believe it may have come from a castle motor packaging.

I'll have to look to see what I have, i was thinking of servo taping mine in but i really dont like playing with fire like that lol.

The foam is adhereded to the battery strap, but doesn't need to be. I used an edge banding tape designed for cabinets LOL. Then there is an even stiffer foam that is wedged in front of the battery that is removable.

@TBuggy your buggy looks pretty nice and I like your homemade skis plates. What did you use to paint your body with? What did you all do for prep work for the paint?

I used Tamiya brand paint for lexan. I almost wonder if it had something to do with the cans being older? I have painted a couple bodies with this paint already and all of them are holding up nicely and are way older. As for prep I wash with dish soap lightly rub down with a scotch bite pad.

Yeah it could be the old cans. I use 150 grit sandpaper and then wash with dish soap and have had good luck with Tamiya too.
