managed to take the win at what I think will be our annual larger race with the truck. Changed tires for the main versus the blockade M4s and freed up the car a bit more than I would like but was still very driveable.
Still a bit noisy transmission wise, I may play around to see where this is coming from but sounds like rear area.
As for diffs I am thinking going down front and center to 10K from 15K AE oil but leave the rear I am thinking at 5K where it is now. I want a bit more offpower rotation similar to what I had when running 7-7-3 previously from one of the loose setups provided.
All in all though, vehicle just darn near drives itself. Very fast and hooks up.

The composite does a good job with the demands of SCT. They also do with 4S+ power systems, I just like a little more peace of mind.
I asked Ryan about the aluminum upgrades, and he prefers to keep everything stock to keep lightweight. So he usually doesn't run any aluminum. If it's good enough for him....I'll run it. I've also been running the composite on my eb48.4 since this spring when I built it. It's still fine.

anyone recommend a good starting set up with stock pistons for a medium 8th scale track , rutted ,dusty, blue groove? Would the stock set up be a great starting point for this?

Hey all,
Returning to RC after about 15 years. Built an SC5M which is a total blast to drive, recently pulled the trigger on an SCT410.3 kit. Have ordered several option parts as well, really looking forward to getting the build going.
I have actually read 90% of this thread so won't be asking what powertrain, tires etc. but I do wonder what y'all think as far as wheels. I've heard tell the JConcepts Hazards for SCTE are a bad match. The Duratrax ones look nice. I know those DE Borrego wheels fit but I guess I don't like the look as much. Which I'll never notice or care about when it's running..
I'm mainly going to run on an indoor blue-groove type surface (Mhor RC in Aurora, CO) and have been trying to get the SC5M set for that as well. Lots of experiments & lots of failures.
The only other real place we have around here (to my knowledge) is the big, dusty 1/8 scale oriented track in Longmont. Personally I would rather wait & drive on a surface where I don't have to worry about getting small rocks stuck everywhere but that loose outdoor track does look fun!

Alright, I'm going to try those Hazards out. Really into the white wheels with a dark colored body right now. Thanks guys, just waiting on a package from Amain to get started. Going with a steel spur gear & as you know that definitely impacts the first steps.
Then I have a brand new composite spur gear if I ever need one. Everybody wins, even the neglected composite part.
