So what are y'all's thoughts on running a 2-pole 550? Last Tekno I had started with a Pro4 4600 and then a 4700 Hobbywing. Thought I had read of some liking a 2-pole 550 when running on less than high bite but also being easier on the batteries. Picking up a 4500 SMC already but thinking a 2-pole might be worth a look.

More on power steering...reduce droop in front a bit more (what I would recommend to start), reduce kick up (my next try), increase anti-squat (I would try to stay away from this if I could. I've been running 7/7/4 on indoor high bite clay with excellent results for quite a while now. The majority of your improvement will likely come from familiarity with the platform and wheel time. Have fun with it! It's a great truck.

Ive reduced front droop to almost flat in front approx 103 and 115 rear,have some bigger jumps on track now to contend with so may have to put more droop in front.Ive found a pretty large diff in on power steering by reducing the front diff weight oil,kinda surprising.I had went up to 10k as some recommended here,this may work on a bigger faster track but was no good at all on a small high bite indoor imho. went back to 7k and its better. I have not done much with kick up,I built it to the stock 10deg setting,but have noticed on some setup sheets for small clay high bit tracks,they are using "max"kickup,but no deg is listed? bottom center of b block,top center of A block? what deg would this setting give? how would this effect on power steering with this setting?

I personally like the 4 pole torque. That being said, you can get plenty of torque for most situations out of a 550 2 pole by gearing and adding dynamic timing (they don't hate it like most 4 poles do) to keep top end. An example of this would be Ryan Mayfield's eNats truck, which ran a 550 2 pole 4.0 turn Orion. I've also had fun with an old Tekin 4.5 550 2 pole.

im running 2 deg of rear toe now and its bout the same,1 deg toe would be too little toe. I havnt tried rear wheel base,off power steering is already too aggressive

My son who is about to turn 12 has raced and maintained a used Associated SC10 4X4 for 2 seasons. We are so happy to never work on that thing again, enough about that. He received a 410.3 for Xmas. We opened it on xmas eve morning and he was able to build 90% of this truck with a little guidance here and there, this manual is awesome. Really all he could not do was build turnbuckles. I could not help but be impressed with his attention to detail and the questions asked during the build. Great experience for both of us. I put a setup sheet that more resembles our local conditions in his hands for the build. He took a few build breaks but finished the roller before bed on xmas eve. We wrapped up the electronics install on xmas and he threw down some donuts in the basement. The truck will make its debut this weekend at our local indoor. Cant wait for spring and get it outside where it belongs.

I changed a few more things around,softened front shocks,and put the front shocks at much more angle,decreased front diff fluid again,went to a super soft tire in the front,grinded the carriers so the wheels almost touch a arms with the steering stops all the way in. now its finally staying tight on power turning

Electrics?
I used to race 1/8 nitro buggies hard core for a several years prior to kids. And now am looking to start back up after a couple years out. Since my sons are now 9 and 6. So the reason this is here is because I have pretty much settled on the 410 as the replacement for my oldest sons ragged out 5 year old Slash.(His little bro got a new Slash from Santa) He has been killing it on the local indoor carpet track. Including TQing and winning his first race against grown men with very expensive buggies and highly modded SC trucks. The 410 seems to be 1/8 buggy with small wheel hexes and bumpers😀. So it's a very durable and familiar platform for me. His birthday is in a month and a half. So I need advice on what electronics to put in this thing. I am pretty much a noob on the electric side of things. And am looking for a good value package in esc/motor combos. And what batteries fit this chassis the best. I know it seems everybody likes the Tekin rx8 stuff. But that's outta reach for me at this point. What are some good less expensive options?
