What adapters are you using and hows the fit. I have two sets of adapters for an sc10 and im thinking of trying to get them to fit since I have 4 of the rears.

I raced my tt last night and experimented with tires on our carpet track.

i first used the stock tires and set the suspension to my likings, but still traction rolled if i tried to go around corner to quick.
I then dremel the outer 2 rows of pins of the tires! It felt better but the foams are to soft.
I then put on a set of '2.2" proline striker II truck tires' with a firm insert and no traction comound and the truck was AWESOME!
no more traction rolling, corner speed increased dramatically!

i ended up getting 3rd in the amain which i was stoked with because it was only my second race meet back after a 2yr break!

I have ordered a set of duratrax, speed trac tires to give tham ago. They are very similar to the proline tires just a bit cheaper!

I use the castle 3800kv 4 pole motor with a MMP and temps are not an issue with either one with a 16T pinion

Yeah 4pole is going to have more torque, so it can handle a higher load, plus a smaller KV motor.

My buddy has been running this same combo for months. He uses a 13t pinion and runs a fan on the motor. I dont think running the battery to the end would be a good idea. Check temps every 5 min. or so.
P.S. This is a fast combo, on the track he has the throttle end point turned down.

Using AKA adapters meant for Slash 4X4....they fit ok but had to be "washered" up to take out all the slop. Haven't had a chance to run it outside yet but hopefully pretty soon.

The Ofna kit would've been my 1st choice http://www.nitrohouse.com/p23506/CNC...duct_info.html
but found it a little too late.

Hows the ESC and battery for temps? If they're on the cool side, it sounds like its undergeared.

Hyper tt newby with a question,I am currently running a Tekin RS with a 6.5 540 motor,and thinkin of going to a larger Tekin R-8 ESC, what KV 1/8 motor would I need to be equivalent to a 540 6.5 motor? I'm guessing,the larger KV in 1/8 systems the faster the motor? I do race my Hyper off-road..

Thanks for your help..

Yeah it is fast, I have the end point all the way out. We run 5 min heats with 8 min mains.

I guess I don't quite get the under geared scenario. You could take that motor off the truck and run it with out it overheating. Current(Load) creates heat not rpm's.
