I ordered a cheap D227f off hobbypartz.com it has a .09 response time and I got the savox 1257 tg too just in case that goes, the D227f was 15$ so I figure I wont lose much and the reviews on it are not too bad.

Nice, I run the 1257 in my buggy and 1258 in my SC. I have another 1258 coming in, going into my 4x4 SC (or TC, not sure which I'm getting first).

They are blue V2 shocks. Same stuff, cheesy anodizing.

Oh great another shock....:deathstar

All driver IMO. I took 1st in Expert Mod with a complete RTR out of the box my first time I raced it.... with exception of tire changes.

I still run the RTR car..ish. I swapped out for my Spektrum system, Savox SC-1258TG, Tekin Redline unsensored 5800kv, and RX8, Lunsford turnbuckles(stock ones suck), CVDs, tires of course. But the shocks, and plastics are all RTR. Running the gear diff with 7k oil. 35w oil in front and rear shocks, red springs in front, green in rear. Top 5 in A-Main for Expert Mod at most events, running against other FT cars.

I will be getting the Factory Team roller next time around however.

setup help
 

could you guys share your outdoor dirt track setups please!? Need help keepin up to a slash for god sakes!!?? The surface is top soil that drys out easily and turns muddy when wet. I have goose bumps and bar codes and am thinking of gettin AKA enduros!?! factory team setup in the truck now with 27.5 oil frt n rear.. tekin 17.5 and a mmp esc. no timing boost allowed. have it geared to temp out at 150ish after 4 min... straioght away speed seems good but it pushes and is loose>!>!>!> weird i know... HELP ME PLEASE...:weird:

Everyone around here seems to start with the Chad Due setup and then tweaks from there.

I use this with the tweaks he posted, except gray springs in the back instead of green. Both for indoor clay and outdoor dirt. The only thing I switch out are tires. Green bar codes for indoor clay and green goosebump for outdoor dirt.

Edit: Using 17.5 Ballistic geared at 75/26. No timing/boost.

Whats the better shock. Pro-Line Power Stroke Shocks or Associated FT V2 shocks.

I can't imagine the Pro-line shocks being better than the FT V2 shocks.

pleased with my what turned out to be a test run only(track pc wouldn't work) it took a couple of runs to see how i could drive the truck its been 2yrs since i ran offroad and it was 4wd mod but very happy with the truck

I had my maiden run with my FT SC10 yesterday as well. My 17.5 "blinky" time would of TQ'd open SC:D Yes, I do like this truck:nod: I got it pretty dialed in only using the FT weight ballast, didn't want to add the extra 3 oz if I didn't have to since I was running 17.5, gotta keep it light if possible. Ended up using Durango light red springs in the rear, they're in between an AE green and silver.

I was hoping to pick up a screw kit for my truck - Is there much difference between the RCscrews and tony's kit?

Also noticed Tony's stocks a metric conversion kit - After I bought a set of Dynamite tools :flaming:

Can someone please tell me if the stock SC10 RTR wheels can be used for Pro-Line Gladiator 2.2" tires? I mean is it wide enough to hold the tires properly?

I plan to purchase 1 set Gladiators M3 SC 2.2" and 1 set Calibre 2.0 SC 2.2" M3.

Thanks.

u need short coarse specific tires. the inside of the wheel is 3" diamiter. for just a plain 2.2 wheel, t4 wheels will work but not alowed at most tracks
