Hi guys. I am not new to RC but am somewhat new to RC trucks. I would like to ask for a functional and/or performance comparison between the 22-4 buggy and the TEN-SCBE other than the fact that the SCBE comes RTR. I also understand that one could build the SCTE V3 and convert to a buggy.
Since I still mostly do airborne RC, I am leaning towards the TEN-SCBE but may go the 22-4 route. I'd like to have a durable quality off road vehicle that could be raced but also just for fun. We do have a local outdoor dirt track for 1/10 scale electric.
I have a DX4S to operate with.

I think the SCBE would fit your needs much better. It doesn't fit any legal race categories, but if you're just driving it with your friends, no worries.

What did you gear and use for belt settings on your 13.5 buggy for the Top Gun race.
Thanks

I ran Tekin Gen 3 13.5. I started the event at 26/84 but went up to 28/84. Timing on the motor was slightly over 40 deg (lets call it 42 )
Belt settings are the kit settings.
Could clear the triple the entire race as long as I set up for it properly. If you jumped off that roller before the triple it was not going to make it with a 13.5. Tekin motors put in the fastest 2 lap times of the class. Randy Lathrop with a Tekin powered 22-4 was the only other guy to go sub 15.8 on that layout.

TLR 22-4 2.0 with the R1 Wurks 13.5 dominated the top gun shootout from start to finish.
This car with a 13.5 is so enjoyable to drive and extremely fast compared to other cars. It /may not be the lightest or whatever but under load there is almost no friction and the suspension is above and beyond any other car out there. 78/25 30 degrees on the can of timing with a fan. I could clear the triple easily from the inside for the first 3 min then had to start to slow down and get a better run at it. Had a battery dump on me in qual 2 which definatly didn't help haha.

What's the best way to mount a motor fan? Blowing into the motor or sucking air away?

That was one nice thing about the old style steel brace -- it keyed into the chassis and basically made sure your pivot block was always straight.

I noticed that even if they're not broken, the part that keys into the chassis can develop slop after some hard hits and should be replace anyway. Else, a hard hit can tweak the pivot block to the side a little bit throwing off your trim.

Yeah, I thought my servo turnbuckle was stripping, 'cause other people complained of that, but I think the pivot block is just tweaking a little bit. It's got 5 bolts holding it in, but the back one doesn't do much. Seem critical to make sure the 5 bolts are very tight. A new block removed about 50% of the potential side-to-side movement in mine.

I posted a review of the 22-4 2.0 on my blog for those interested in an opinion.
