Thank you for the explanation Ryan. How can you tell if a kit has the old or new body in it? We're thinking about buying another kit so that we can replace the 1.0 RTR and stop the fighting between my son and I over the 2.0
The RTR can then become a donor for spares. Not that we've needed anything major in the last year. It amounts to one servo horn and one replacement body. Your products are fantastic. Thank you.

The SCTE 2.0 is the most current 4wd sc we have. We are NOT working on a new one at this time. I have ideas of a lot of stuff I would like to do/try but its not in the hopper right now. We still feel this is the best vehicle and best value of any of the 4wd SC's on the market today and we are still winning a majority of the races out there with it.

Looking for tips
So the boys finally let me race my 2.0. I set up the my 4.5 550 thunder power motor to 0 on the can and my rx8 gen 2 to profile 4. Diffs are at 5-7-5. I wasn't able to hit this triple at hot rod hobbies last night, like a buddy of mine running a pro4 4600. I'm running 13t pinion and stock spur gear. Looking to get a little more out of this motor. Any tips would be most appreciated. What u suggest BCS Flash? Or any other racer running similar set up. Please advise

Also, 80% of the time I run a 12t pinion with 40t spur(stock). The only time I go up to 13 is if the track if fairly wide open.
I have also always ran about 20 degrees of timing on the can. You have to remember, 2-pole motors like timing. From past experience, you can go from feeling your car is "slow" to incredibly quick by adding some timing.
My personal advice is to put the can to 20 degrees and and try it or put a 12t pinion on to try.
I run mine with an Orion R10pro, which has a "boost"(low end) and "turbo"(top end, realize when I say what these settings do, it is by what I "feel" when I change them.) settings which I realize are different from the RX8. I generally run a decent amount of boost and turbo in the esc.
I know maddog and BCSFlash both have experience trying to make the 4.5t thunder power work with the RX8, and from what I had seen, struggled to do so. They may have found some settings comparable to running the r10pro, but not sure if they ever got it to where the r10pro is.

First concern is why you put the timing on the can to 0?

So Maddog leans towards the r10, I'm going to try the 20degrees of timing with the 12t pinion next time out, see what happens. I put the can at 0 after reading tips on here, thought I might have been doing something wrong. Waiting on BCS's input too. This forum is absolutely amazing. I can picture just hanging out, having a beer, and talking about toys. Thanks.

With the RX8, though, we just can't it from "feeling like a turd" with the 2-pole. We even called Tekin to get their settings--and as Maddog mentioned, but it just didn't compare with the Orion, performance wise.
Please give us any secrets you know of in regards to the RX8 settings. Would love to hear from Randy Pike if he's sees this thread as well. My only beef with the Orion is that we've blown up three of these darn things! The RX8 seems to be bulletproof, though.
P.S. ... we love your grease!

You guys should try the Novak Activ8. Massive power for both 2 pole and 4 pole motors. I've run mine in my SCTE for 2 years and it's killer.

getting a lot of wobble from one of my wheels
it doesn't appear to be the shaft could it be the way the hex is installed.
and if so what is the best way to align them.
thanks

Chances are, you tweaked the wheel itself. Some wheels are more prone to this but it does happen.
