I think you lose the front wheelbase adjustment when you use the RPM arms, I just got word that RPM is testing teh molds for the rear arms...

slow is fast ;)

crashing is where races are won and lost. dont crash and you will win more, even if your not the fastest on the track.

yea mellow out the settings a little bit, i have mine cranked up but then again my motor sounds like it has a pound of rocks in it so im sure its not running as hard as she can. I dialed Jimmy's down alot so he could drive it. If your remote doesnt have an arc or exp setting on it then you can also create a custom throttle and brake curve to really get it maintainable.

I have had the Dare body for over a month now. couldnt decide what to do with it for paint and i have never painted a body other than all white. But i finally sacked up and just did something.

alot of the guys at the track today were saying how they like the look of this body....its just something that will grow on people when there are more of them around. It looks WAY meaner going around the track!!!

Here is the video from todays race. i added a little excitement to the main this time. :D

good job!! did you win any race bucks?

you also lose it with gt2 arms.

i was running my rear up front but now i have it in the middle for the new track going in @ ocrc. :D

Pretty good racing there in Socal, looks like you would want a short wheelbase and stock rear toe for max steering...do you guys run a spec tire there?

If your track allows running any tire I suggest not running the stock tires. They suck realy bad. I'm sure great drivers can drive on them real fast, but I know I can't.

Thanks for all the tips and setups everyone

man, watchin that video tells me I just need to step it up and quit drivin like a retard. I was workin traffic much better for the 1st 3 and a half minutes but jeez, Matts truck is just wicked fast. Its hard to see but Matt pushed my truck all the way down the straight away. Great win and its good that we made a race out of it.

haha yea that was a FUN race! i made WAY too many mistakes and so did you.

i was running the short wheelbase for this track along with 3.5* of rear toe and also 2* of anti squat.....the truck has TONS of steering. after i went to one spacer in front and rear of the hub it mellowed the trun in a little but and i was able to carry a little more speed through the corners.

Cant wait for the new track for wed night racing. A couple of us got the pleasure of ripping down the wall ride last night. Im good at breaking shit. lol

no way....stock tires are garbage. Cutting the tread helps them out a bunch but nothing like the bowties.

I am running a custom Panther tires in the rear that i made from a 1/10th scale tire and 1/8th scale tire. They are soooo hooked up its ridiculous. forward bite for DAYS!

Here are some pics of my truck and the custom tires i made.

Feel free to give me crap about my first paint job. :D

Matt, did you swap chassis and put the new one in your open truck?? And what paint did you use

I would call you but I left my phone on my bed this morning, and I don't get home til 6 or later. Actually neither do you

no work today. Jimmy called and cancelled it. He must have been out late getting some tail last night. i wish he would have told me sooner than 5am today so i could have been out doing the same thing. haha

yea i put the new chassis on and also graphite rear tower and u brace. new trans with ceramic diff balls too. new cvd's. new bumpers and body mounts. some new ball studs and cups.

now i just need a few more parts so i can take all the old parts and have a complete backup/stock short course.

paint was all tamiya polycarbonate paint. the white backing was parma paint.

Painted this bad boy @ Motel6.(11:30pm to 4am) HAHA

i want to fill my diff with 60wt shock oil, will this be as thick as 10,000wt diff oil or is this not going to work? all i have is the shock oil, dont have time to redo the diff on race day so is shock oil as thick as diff oil. i have some black grease in the diff right now ut it aint cuttin the mustard. thanks for any help.

viscosity is a measure of how a fluid flows, 60wt is many many times thinner than 10,000wt. It's all silicone oil, diff, shock same same. Only the weight of the oil ( thickness ) is different.

how much do those SC10's cost as an unasembled kit with no electronics

I paid $180 for my kit.
