I just finished the kit build and it went well but I am now putting an engine in this beast and have been purchased the Castle Mamba Monster 2.0 1/8th Scale 2650kv. Then I can use it for both racing by adjusting the 16T pinion gear up to a 20T and use a 2s or 3s lipo depending on racing or out bashing around.

However I am getting conflicting information if this setup would end up tearing apart the truck. Some say the SCTE 2.0 is overbuilt and will easily handle that setup even up to a 4s Lipo on it. Others say the 3s will cause damage by being just too much torque from that motor. So I thought I would ask the opinions of those here.

I don't have alot of other options for motors and I already own this one and can not return it now. However I don't want to destroy this nice build either.

Anyways thats my question would love to know peoples opinions and Thanks in advance.

That motor might not fit because of the side guards. My Tekin 3500 HD barely clears the mud guards with a 16T pinion. I ran a T8 1900 on 4s for a few months on the 1.0 (same drive train) and I noticed the pins in the cvds wear much faster. I also ran the T8 2650 on 2s for a year or so and never had a drive train failure. The SCTE was not built for 1/8 power...

Hey guys, just ordered some "titanium" lunsford turnbuckles, and the tlr "titanium" screws, and kingpins for my 2.0, Does anyone know how much weight this will save me? I had a few extra bucks burning a hole in my pocket! Lol. I recently got some of the 100c protek 7000mah batts. They make wicked power! But they are slightly heavier then my old packs.. Just trying to offset the added weight.Thanks.

The side guard needs just the top edge sanded down just a little bit, but not much at all. I could likely get away with not even doing that but I would like a little bit of clearance.

I figure I will give it a shot with this motor based on your response and another one saying it would be no problem.

Thanks for all the information I will let you know how it runs when its done on Wednesday.

Hey guys, just built my 2.0 and I notice I have a slight bind in the front diff. Its free 3/4 of a turn then binds the rest of the way turning the front drive shaft. I took it back apart and it turns free in the housing but once I put it back together complete it does they same thing... Even tried loosening the screws a tad. Still the same. Anyone else have this problem...

The ring gear is rubbing the inside of the case. Use a Dremal and clearance it.

Same thing happened to me. If you pull the housing apart and dont see ring gear rubbing marks in housing try this.

The instructions tell you to build the diff install into diff housing then install drive shaft. When you do this some times it will push the pinion shaft in and cause a bad gear mesh between pinion and ring gear.
Install the pinion gear and hold it down with finger while you install drive shaft, then put diff into housing and finish building diff assembly, this will not allow pinion shaft to move in and out causing bad gear mesh in diff housing during accelaration and braking causing some of the tooth breakage some people are having.

Not to mention prematurely blown out bearings.

First Post Woo Hoo..

I had the same issue. I finally figured out that the bearings weren't pressed onto the case tightly enough. I used a large pair of channel locks, carefully, to snug them up by pressing around each side a little at a time until they were completely snug.
