Check your diff. I had the same problem. Slipper was almost tightened all the way and even changed the motor. It turned out I fried my ball bearing diff.

I have an SC10.2 SC truck and I'm running stock 13.5 blinky class on a kinda small, tight indoor clay track. I have no idea what gearing I need to run. I burned up two motors last night and I'm on my last one.Please somebody give me an idea where I need to start on my gearing to keep this from happening again.

Thanks,
Cameron

You are running an 8th scale truck with a low power 10th scale motor. Why is your track suggesting this? Whatever gearing you are using it is to tall. Reduce the pinion significantly if you can. Not sure if there is a gearing option that can survive the SC8.2. Are you really running a SC10.2? If so the manual states that a 13.5 should run 24/78 for blinky mode.

ok, rebuilt my rear diff. it was noisey and shot.. also figured out on my speed passion esc settings was all jacked up and wasnt even set on the right turn motor! ( previous guy programmed it) Now it rips! my gearing is 25/75 and it was starting to get hott. im gonna throw my 29/75 back in it and check try that. thanks guys

Why would you gear up if you are getting too hot? Are you getting a lot of wheel spin??

Motodemon8

ok, maybe i am going the wrong way then? yes kinda alot of wheel spin, we run on a loose dirt track....

Cam come to the track with Ev and James Thursday and we'll figure it out. I need to do the same thing because I always have run my 13.5 boosted. This week though go through your truck and check for any binding. Just pull the pinion and spin it to make sure its smooth.
If you can't make it Thursday I will have it figured out and can help you Friday.

Sc10.2 is what he meant BTW everyone. 13.5 blinky gearing.

Motodemon8

anybody have suggestions on the setting is my esc. speed passion pro
i put it on the stock1 hybrid mode/boosted. and i love the way it performs with it
25/75 gearing. but it is just getting a little to hott after longer runs.
thanks

Drop the pinion one or two teeth, remember 1 pinion tooth is about 3teeth on the spur

Are you guys mounting the diff adjusting bolt on the L or R side? Thought I read somewhere mounting it the wrong way may loosen the bolt

Mount it on the right hand side

the screw head needs to be on the right hand side, under the spur gear thru the right outdrive...........

+1 You should be able to make all adjustments(slipper&diff) form the same side,the right(passenger) side.

Motodemon8, you want to get the wheel spin under control too. Wheel spin generally leads to higher motor temps. On a loose track you might need to turn the punch down (control current, etc).
