Guys, I'm not sure if they make the truck too wide for ROAR Rules or not, but I'd recommend the DE Racing +3mm Borrego wheels. They are really nice wheels, solid, keep dirt out, strong, and come in cool colors, have a nice bead too. I wish they came in a +2mm.. That would be perfect. It makes the truck slightly wider, keeps the inner wheel fins from rubbing, and the tires WILL still fit inside the body without severe rubbing when the suspension compresses.
Some of the stock offset wheels will rub slightly, and make noise or at least be annoying as hell. If you do run stock SC10 4x4 wheels, a +1 wider Hex might be beneficial. I haven't tried SCTE wheels, but I'm pretty sure they are the same as SC10 4x4.
My recomendation is +3 DE wheels, Aluminum horn, Pink springs, rear skid plate, better clamping hexs, good/fast Servo, definitely get a sensorser motor & ESC set up. I'd start with a 16 tooth pinion for normal size tracks. Or a 17 for big tracks. 18 for Huge tracks.
The HobbyWing SCT Pro XeRun Combo includes a 15T Mod 1 pinion FYI.

Did you have any problems getting this motor mounted? On mine, it looks like the 3 front screws extend past the front cap preventing me from getting a flush mount of the motor mount against the front of the motor. As a result, the motor is hitting the onboard motor mount. I hope that makes sense.

I got a few tbone ones that i got an yea i use them they work good an when i did not have them my tail is pretty ate up with just street running
So, I will try the Tbone or APE. Which is easier to install? Total newbie here. Last real rc car was an 88 JrX2. Just getting into it now with my 7yr old son. What a difference in performance nowadays. Bought him a cheapo Hobbypeople Razr basher and had so much fun with it here I am now with a 410.3 on the way with a Tekin pro4 and RX setup. I absorbed all the comments I thankfully recieved here and happened to find a deal on that setup. I think my next will be a new Xerun 4000KV combo to save money after weighing everyone's advice here.
I'm also considering picking up another used SCT 410 or SCT410 roller with all the awesome ebay deals right now, which also may require skid plates especially there due to the worn used chassis.
This thread has been very valuable. And thank you all for the advice and previous posts. I will try to pass along any newbie knowledge to others in more beginner forums. Since I may purchase the ebay SCT410, I probably need some tools (cheap/functioning solder setup, dremel, etc.) So, forgive the blathering, my final questions are:
- Skidplate vs APE Skid Plates - Which is better functioning/easier install
- Advice on tools (Solder setup, Dremel/Rotary, et cetera, and best place to get them without breaking the bank).
- Any additional newbie tips appreciated and will be taken
Any advice appreciated and will be noted.
Thanks!

I called them. Apparently, they have had a few calls on this. They suggested grinding down the 3 front cap screws until they were flush or below the face. Once I did that, everything mounted up. Kind of weird that I have to do that. I would think that if they knew it was a problem with some, they would ensure that all the screws were flush. Oh well. Im ready to try it and see if i can get 10 min out of it.

Thank you for your message. I will be racing sometimes. How long with the aluminum last with bashing in the dirt/outdoor racetracks vs stainless steel and what is the impact on jumping? thx!

For those that have a lot of +3 wheels and have a way to check your max width, here's an idea to try. Use the stock hexes (or the clamping replacements that DON'T add +1mm) and move the inner hingepins all the way towards the center of the car to narrow the track as much as possible (this will also give you 3 degrees of toe in the rear). Moving the C block out to get less toe (if you need it) shouldn't increase the max width either. Theoretically this will put you only 1mm over ROAR width, but depending on your camber maybe not. Plus, according to ROAR rules, max width is measured at the axle center for 4wd SC. Either way, good for club racing

Who did you call in regards to your motor not fitting on the mount properly because of the screws not being flush?
I would like to know for future customers that may encounter this issue and call us about it. That way I can direct them to LRP to resolve their issue.
Thanks!
