I should have plenty of weight as I run A-123's, I don't see a lot of transition but I'm sure that's because of the limited droop in the rear. To be fair I have roughly 3 hours of race time on the truck so it may be a bit soon to think it's doing anything weird. Thanks for the help.........BB

Youll have to grind the top plate where the servo horn passes. I just used a file to flatten out that area.:nod:

Tony, a lot of guys saw the same problem when the SC10 first came out. Be sure that you tighten the servo saver nut far enough and that it's not crooked. It should clear without grinding.

What are the track conditions and tires used when there is a push?

Its the servo saver. You have to tighten it all the way otherwise the bolt that threads into the top deck hits the chassis and forces the rack forward.

I've had AE servo saver bolt stripping issues before on my B4 and T4. I guess I was a little worried about overtightening the bolt...

well, i have an SXX in the mail. Now just trying to decide what motor to pair with it. Either 17.5 or 13.5.

What are some good motors?

It depends on weather or not you're running a sensored esc. Novak and LRP are good ones for that. You'll get bored with a 17.5 really quickly unless you are racing in the stock class. I have a pretty tight track at home and 8.5 and 10.5 motors run pretty well on it without over heating. I personally like and use Castle Creations 4600kv mamba max and sidewinder systems. For my SC10, I just turn the power all the way down.

I'm not running any weight in my setup. I pretty much set it up just like the T4.

Part of that push problem is not having that servo saver tightened all the way. Makes the truck slow to steer so it feels like its pushing. Also the stock tires will cause a push due to the fact there not a racing compound and the rubber is too hard. I've found the J Concepts Goosebumps to be the best so far on any surface.
