converting to hex is a Great Idea ... able to Swap fronts to rear rears to fronts 2wd to 4wd ... opens up all yoru tires .. around
jconcepts hex is the way to go ... thr pro line front is good but the hex is a little sloppy...

Personally I hate the pin setups. A hex makes more sense to me, more surface area transferring the power instead of a tiny pin, and it's a lot easier to line up when putting the wheels on a car. I wish I had hexes on my xxx.

I just got one off of ebay for $1

I'll be waiting for the RS as well.

Can't wait for this to come out!

Yeah, the pins are ridiculous. I forgot how bad they were, after using hexes for a few years...they --are "not good", so it's nice to see AE recognizing that we all need some improvement in that area..Now--when can I get some, before I get too many tires mounted on the old wheels..

Ease of maintenance and not having to remove bearings everytime I clean the front wheels. Also having the hex supports the front wheel under side load. And it's also personal preference.

As soon as AE releases the part numbers, I'll be converting both my FT SC10 and RTR SC10.
I've noticed the JConcepts conversion has been on back order, wonder if they stopped making them because the new AE hex conversions will be released soon?

JC has not stop making the rear hexes. The AE version will be plastic and the JC is an improved version. JC in the rear and the new AE hubs in the front.

You have PM :nod:.

How do you know that. You know what they say when you assume.

PS: Been running AE products for a Decade.

Sorry guys for the change of subject. Had a (probably simple question) for everyone:

I'm a regular in the 1/8th arena & just purchased an SC10. I'm running a TEKIN 8.5 RS Pro system.

Servo choices. I run a digital servo in my RC8be. What do people run in the SC's? Digital? High torque metal gearing? My digital provides 202 torque oz. for my buggy. I know this is overkill on SC's. What would be a good servo wtih quick response and what torque oz. would you all recommend?

I'm racing a 300ft track. It's really taking shape for a 1/8 size.

Thanks!

Dunno, bro. Only been building AE shocks since the B2 came out. You know...back when they were good?

You know what they say when you assume:rolleyes:

Savox servos perform well for a budget servo, but they suck a lot of juice. ThunderbirdJunkie needed to go beyond a capacitor and run a BEC on his.

I have a quick question, my slipper clutch keeps glazing my pads and I have the FT V2 slipper clutch kit in my sc10, and yet it keeps slipping and glazing up my pads every run, and i aint even abusive to the truck. I have a 10.5 speedpassion motor and speedo in it, I rebuilt the gear diff a month ago and its been doing this for 7 months now, I have to sand the pads because if I dont they glaze up after every run. I just ordered the 4wd SC10 high torque pads to see if this will fix it, and no even if I tighten on the slipper alot it still glazes up my slipper pads. The only time i gun it is at the start of a race, but I've seen guys with 10.5s or 8.5 sc10's race and never sand down their slipper pads each race. Any help would be appreciated.

my favorite do far has been the savoz 1257. 139 oz at .07
anything around 120-150oz and less than .1 is good for the sc10. I would still stay with metal gears and glue ur servo saver together or upgrade to aluminum bellcrank to get the most response
