3-gear will go just fine with a 10.5, or any other motor for that matter.

3 gear is my preference on short/medium indoor track

I run on large outdoor clay, I think the fastest time with 2WD SCT is like 28.6seconds or something like that. My PB is 29.4 seconds. I average 30-31 second laps with 10 laps per race.

All you guys already owning a SC5m should feel very lucky. Since I didn't get my SC5m I ordered in December until now I mailed Asso US if they could name me a reason it's not available actually. Got a dissatisfying answer

So with a delivery time of about 3 weeks to our distributor in Germany I'm lucky if I get mine in July A little bit dissappointing...
Hope they plan better with the new wheeler if there's one coming.


Guess I can now do some additional collection of information in the meantime.
Reading here helps a lot, but I have a question:


I don't like the RPM ones but if they fit I guess the original one from the SC10 will also?
I also dig mud flaps and want them on my SC5m.

I just walked into my local hobbyshop and just bought it on the spot. All I wanted was a AE SCT

I haven't even cleaned mine in about 3 weeks.

Been running a mod motor this whole time and just picked up a trinity d3.5. What gearing range is everyone using in stock for medium sized tracks? Thx

Hasi

Wish I could do that too but there's no SC5m available here in Germany. Importing from other countries would make it more expensive... so I guess I have to wait.

Ebay may have been a better option to use. I'm sure kits and parts availability will come soon.

X-Factory Carbon Fiber Chassis using stock cradle, drilling 6 holes copied from the stock aluminum chassis i was able to use this X-Factory chassis without using the supplied "side decks" i think its a cleaner look, and its definitely lighter..there is minimal torsional flex with this setup which i think is beneficial ..

what do you think?

im running stock spur and a 22 tooth pinion gear on a high bite clay medium size track.

Yes the original rear bumper fits the sc5m, i also tried that on before getting the RPM one yes the original sc10 bumper should fit the sc5m..

I had the XFactory chassis in my T5M, so I'm not sure if my experience will carry over to the SC5M. I found the XF chassis removed too much weight from the rear end that I had to add a lot weight to keep to it planted. I've since put the stock chassis back on.

Ive noted id did indead remove a ton of weight from the car..in fact the ride height bounced up 1/4".. ive added the heaver rpm front and rear bumpers so maybe im back to square one..
