That servo is going to be PLENTY. ThunderbirdJunkie is running a 3305 in his and it's enough.

If you gear a motor properly, it will never need any help with cooling

Sounds like a great setup. The servo is more than enough. And the GTB with 10.5 is good too. The 10.5 can be a real handfull when there's not a lot of traction. I normally just limit my throttle epa when traction gets low.

The only other thing I'd recommend is some better tires. There are heaps of options available now. Our track only allows bow ties so I can't really comment on the others. Talk to the guys at your track to get an idea of tires that will work.

I'm upgrading all my shit to the Factory Team stuff. Just got the Red and Grey springs last night. Hubs are next, followed by CVDs and batt strap.

Wheelbase is the same, SC10's a hair narrower than the Inferno GT.

Drill your own body mount holes, just like on PL's MT bodies and confuse everybody at the track.

Understood, unless that screw was the screw holding the B44's top plate into the aluminum motor mount. No way to torch that. I ultimately had to dremel the top plate off, and ended up replacing the motor mount after being unable to remove the screw which broke during attempted removal.

Never again!

Well, after a LOT of searching here is what I found:

Proline makes the 14RS body which I cannot decide whether I'm indifferent to the styling or totally hate it (below). But using it as a measurement standard (because it's actually designed for the SC10) and comparing the Kyosho Inferno GT2 Subaru Impreza measurements, I think you might be right that the Kyosho body 'should' fit, with a little wheelbase trimming. A 4mm difference in wheelbase should be fixable.

Kyosho Inferno body
Length: 22" (560mm)
Width: 10.2" (260mm)
Height: 7.4" (187mm)
Wheelbase 12.5" (316mm)

ProLine 14RS body
Length: 21.3" (541mm)
Width: 9.7" (246mm)
Height: 6.5" (165mm)
Wheelbase: 12.6" (320mm)

I'd love to see someone do that Subaru body. I do wonder about the front of the body though. It would have to be cut for bumper clearance, and even then might dig on nose landings.

Or you could just take the stock SC10 bumper off, and who cares about the body digging in? Flexible, bro

I put red thread lock on something once. Then needed to get it off. Broke two tool tips before having to Dremel the part off. Never again. :cry:

They come right out for me without heat. But if they don't heat is definitly the answer to that problem.

Glad the info helped out!!

i think the scooby would look fine with the bumber trimmed, I run the silverado bumber over the front of my bumber and have no problems with it digging in and its held up good so far racing wise.

Pimpin 06-09-2010 09:38 AM

That proline body is the ugliest thing I've ever seen. I thought the bug bodies were bad. Hell no. This takes the prize for ugliest body ever.

Guys please don't make these SC trucks look
so gay. You would be ruining the hobby. Haha

interplanet 06-09-2010 09:46 AM

people have ran the scooby bodies on slashes already, apperently they are not good for anything but looking good though.
