TLR TEN-SCTE 2.0 Kit Thread
#6886
I've been running the Hobbywing V3.1 with a ThunderPower z3r 4,5t 550 motor.
So far works on all tracks with the 12t pinion or 13t (for large indoor) and is easily adjustable with boost/turbo if needed.
The HW V3.1 can also handle 4 pole motors, I had a 4600kv Orion VST2 4pole which was running really cool and had a lot of torque. But since I've tried the ThunderPower 2pole I prefer it for its adjustability.

Thanks for the replies, I went with the Hobbywing SCT Pro combo with the 4000kv motor.
Once the ESC and motor arrive I will be able to finish my first kit ever. Putting the kit together has definitely taught me a lot about the truck and it should be easier to make adjustments and repairs now.
Thanks again,

Although IMO I think the HW is under rated unlike Tekin...

On a smallish indoor clay track, my son likes his Orion 550 2 pole better than his Hobbywing 4000 and a LOT better than his Tekin 4300 HD. We've never been on a track that needed anything anywhere near what the HD can deliver. It's just hard on batteries and tires, even when you tune it down. I'm wanting to pick up a nice strong 2 pole after having driven his.

I use these left threaded screws, just like how the 8ight is built and have no problems at all.
+1 DO NOT use Loctite on plastic, Its NOT designed for it and WILL melt the threads leaving you with a Junk Arm in need of replacement.

No Loctite on plastic is correct. I use crazy glue gel, when it dries it creates new threads.
Question, my rear ring and pinion mesh must be off as I have destroyed 2 rings in as many weeks, breaking teeth. What shims if any should I be using? Does the pinion sit directly on the bearing? Do I shim the dif over so the ring is tighter to the pinion? I have replaced the housing and use the aluminum TLR inserts.

I love hobbywing systems. When I'm at the pits at my local track, I always is asked what motor/esc I'm running. They always amuse Tekin Hobbywing is very under rated. They Haul that for sure, and reliable. Not trying to start "this Brand is better than that brand" I'm just saying from experience with both systems.

My buddy let me drive his 2.0 with a lightened chassis that had a 4.5 2 pole motor, it was so easy to drive! Very controllable but on the big 1/8 scale track we run it didn't have enough balls. I liked how smooth it was in the infield though. My 4700 is a Big Block Chevy on nitrous I might tame it down some.
Should I up or down in pinion to make it less punchy?
