My impressions from building the Team Corally SBX-410

 To be honest, this is a great kit. The manual of the SBX-410 is very good. If you follow all their instructions and get yourself the recommended tools, building the kit is very straight-forward. I had very few issues. Nevertheless, a few small problems did arise and I would like to briefly mention them: 1) It can be confusing, where to put which lower suspension holder. To make it clear: When going from the very front of the car to the very back, the order of holders is "FF" followed by "FR" followed by "RF" followed by "RR". This is shown correctly in most parts of the manual, with the exception of page 23. 2) There is a container with additional parts that is not mentioned in the manual. These seem to be parts that likely were found to be missing, when the kit parts were packaged in the factory. Thus, they added these missing items in a separately.

Different springs for the Team Corally SBX-410

The kit of the Team Corally SBX-410 comes with one set of springs, claimed to have a "medium" spring rate. These work fine in many circumstances, but eventually you may want to try either softer or harder springs. Unfortunately, Corally does not have such springs in stock. So, which springs from other vendors may fit? You can use springs from various vendors, as long as they have the appropriate diameter, length and your desired spring rate. As an example, I recently tried the blue springs of the Team Associated B74, and they work very well for me on Astroturf. They are a bit softer than the springs from the kit. However, there is one thing to keep in mind. Especially in the rear, the spring length of the B74 springs is a few millimeters too short, to set higher ride-heights. Thus, you also need to buy some spring cups with a higher offset. I believe the offset of the stock cups is +5 mm. I bought some with +9 mm offset. As an example, you can get such spring cups in the foll...

When going to the track, chances are high that you crash and possibly break some part of your RC buggy. Thus, it is good to know from other drivers which parts break most frequently, so you can have spares in your bag and are prepared to replace them on site.
