Speaking of what would be some setup tips for low to medium grip dirt/clay to help reduce sharp low speed turn in and possible loose rear end that will slide out under power. Think I may need to loosen the diff a little. BUt mostly want to know a couple tricks for next week.
Stiffer springs and oil in the front, less droop in the rear, more rear toe, front sway bar. I ran the rear brass C block with 3.5° rear toe and I currently have the shortest link possible in the front. And of course, the tires are 90% of it.

AE seems to care very less about their customers in Germany. I'm a bit disappointed...
It took 3 months for my gear diff for my B5 to arrive too...

Nice!!

It's a common question I get asked frequently..."How do you like the Sc5m?"

"If you like shortcourse, you'll like the Sc5m, it's 95% awesome right out of the box."

Years ago did a conversion of a GT2 to GT2-SC, put an extension on the front of the GT2, about 14 months before AE offered the SC10GT. About a year and a half ago converted it to electric. Won many races with this. Many losi SC owners changed there RC to mm to compete.

GT2-SC-E moc-up >> http://www.t3t4webservice.com/SC10_GT2_e.html

Raced a XXX-SCT, Blitz, Slash (2 and 4 wd) and SC10. Drove a Proline Slash and the losi22sc.

Hobby shop had a raffle ($20 per, only 15 tickets) for the SC5M that I have, yep won it.

Told all the above so you would know I'm an experienced builder/racer << 620 races 1240 qual's. The SC5M is SO MUCH BETTER than any SC I have ever drove.

Upgrades needed for a SC5M >>>> front gray spring!!!

Shorty is better on the tracks I race on then the brick!!!!

The 3 gear is a PER track upgrade.

===

Now waiting for Cav's CRCRC setup to see what diff's from the ROAR setup. :-)

Might not matter to anyone already in this thread, but Massdrop.com is running a group buy for the team kit @ $259. Joined it myself, but thought someone else might be interested - only 3 days left.

I'd say hard packed and dry.

I've had good luck with holeshots when it was damp, then gridiron 2's or square fuzzies when it dries out . Depending on the amount of dust .
