SC10 4x4 Thread
If you want to have a collection of shock oil to dial in your suspension I would pick up, 35,30,27.5,25,20 weight.
But if you dont want to buy all those oils pick up some 30 weight 25 weight. I found 25 weight to be to soft on my track so that is why I said get some 27.5 weight oil its just a little heaveir without going to heavy.

I am using the TEKIN Pro4 4600 with the Mamba ESC with the sensor harness.
I don't what to come across saying bullet connection's don't perform well ..
However just feel how hot they get after a run and you will see they offer only more resistances to current flow.
Bullets between the motor & ESC produce more load & heat on the ESC , battery & motor ...
not much more (heat) mind you , but you can notice for sure.....

Yes, I do check heat in-between every pack

- Motor
- ESC
- Wiring

I understand how any connector will cause/create resistance which we all know the list of effects it will have. I run two five minute heats and one main - and the wires are warm but not to hot to touch. I also check the motor temps after each time out. I have been averaging 135 to 140 temps. If you keep the wires short, that will help a little too.
I am running 72% throttle, Gens 5000 - 7.4, 40c, Pro4 4600, MMP, 62 spur with a 13 or 14 pinion.
I am going to the track tomorrow with my son to test out some changes. I will check the temp of the wires.

I run my shocks with one x-ring at the bottom of the cartridge, no boot, with bladder, and very little rebound. The shocks are much smoother to the point that I had to go up from 30/25wt to 32.5/27.5wt F/R. The truck was dumping too much with the lighter shock fluid running the shocks that way. Truck was more stable and predictable with the change. Going up .5 in shock fluid wt. would have been too much.
Hey Wild Cherry, is that your car in the pic? If so I see you are running the b44 saddle tray instead of the b44.1. I did not notice that they where different when I converted to saddle packs. What did you have to do to make it fit? I ended up having to cut the middle section out to make it fit, is that what you ended up doing?
You got it , did the same.
remove middle section of B44 tray, glue half's together , drill to fit chassis....

Most of the guys at our track have to run current limiting and or turn down the throttle EPA even with the heavier Losi.
I went with the Pro4 4000 and run it in sensored mode with some timing. Super smooth on the bottom end and rips on top. Matches well with the lighter SC10 4x4.

The Pro4 4600 is a beast of a motor.
