Since the indoor track in another town outlaws the new AKA tires because of the rim style, they dont look right by the track rules. Personally I am a strong AKA fan, nothing hooked up on my Jammin X2 like AKA tires, most Pro-line tires just blew on that car, AKA tires made my fast lap times consistant and I do contribute my TQ's and top 3 finishes at the big races in the state to those tires this last summer.
i normally run VP Pro tires on all my 1/8 scale jammins but if i like the calibers i may try set on my jammins

Back up you missed it, Calibers for the SC10, I want to know how they work. Because I cant race AKA tires at a track.

Jammin X2 AKA I-Beams Med Hot Summer, Softs Spring and Fall, nothing will hook up like them. Slick dusty, lots of fluff track, Cross Braces-Soft. I ran out of wall this year to hang plaques on. And shelves too, for trophies, LOL. Lets not highjack this tread on Jammin stuff, PM me and I can get you setup.

If I mount my rear shocks on the inside hole on the arm and inside hole on the tower, my outer outdrives hit the cross member on the arm and limit down travel.

The spinning out drives hitting the arm every time I'm airborne can't be a good thing! Is this supposed to happen? Normal?

Should I add more spacers inside the shock to limit down travel more? I built with the stock 2 spacers, about 2mm, and 5 spacers inside the front shocks. I could also grind the arms crossmember down for clearance. Anyone know what shock length (droop) settings are normal for this truck?

I could also move to the outside hole on the rear arms, but I was hopeing to use a near stock setup first.

it dose not effect my truck in the air or not.

Self clearanced is what I call that, the closest tolerance you can get

I just called Maxamps and got balance taps from them to put on the few batteries I had so they fit.

I think I'm going to dremel it out. It'll give me an extra 1/4" of droop before the spacers kick in.

Oddly, I had to dremel the same crossmember on my RC8 to use the optional hub ht hole.

AE kits allways seem to have a dozen flaws and tricks, allmost like AE deos this on purpose just for the fun of it, like finding hidden bonus levels in a video game or something.

The easiest way to stop the stub from rubbing is to take the outer hinge pin out and trim the arms cross brace...you can use an exacto or dremel. Make sure to do it to your other arms before installing them because it much easier to do off the truck...

I only had four. after fumbling for the adapter a couple of times I converted the batteries. Seems like some electronics store would have the plugs?

I still have the original one in my Slash after a year and half having gone through 15 to 20 motors. The XL5 is good to go.
