if you overtighten the wheel it will toast the bearings

Double check the axle shims. Make sure they are the same on left and right.

Maybe they are both wrong. The crush tube is different for the big bearing than the stock SC10 hubs.

The part number is #7933, and they measure 0.160" if you want to check yours.

Only if there is something wrong with the crush tube. If it is installed and the correct size, you can crank down on it right up till you strip the threads and it will still spin free.

The FRONT has no crush tube and you can absolutely cause problems by overtightening if you use the Proline inboard carriers.

I did have more slop on the left side (where bearing didn't get toasted) so I added one more shim and it got rid of the excess slop so both sides have very minimal play.

I will replace the crush tube and see if that helps.

Thanks guys

I would go back and remove 1 shim from each side. Think about it, you had more slop on the left without the bearing problem. Then you added a shim to the left have the same minimal play as the right with the bearing problem.

Need Set up help
 

I just put in a tekin RS pro S/C with an Orion 17.5 i used one of the generic set ups from tekin that I installed with the hot wire. I feel like I have lost a lot of speed and I am only coming off the track at 105 after a 10 min qualifier on my motor temp. Any advice or any good set ups. :confused:

+1 u want a lil slop

What gearing? Boost or timing?

run 45-50 on boost depending on your endbell timing,.I run on a fairly large I door track a d I ran 10 on turbo,depending on your track size my rpm was 1500-13000 on rpm with geAring at 84-22 but some others go up or down on pinion,my motor alwYs ran at 135

Good point.

Yeah it seemed like too much slop which is why I added a shim.

Thanks

Im running 75/28 and boost im running 45 with a start rpm of 5443 and end at 20000. It looks like im going to have to mess with my gearing to get some more speed

if you lower your start and end rpm you power will come on sooner,for indoor its good,but if your running outdoors those are good rpms

Wow with that gearing and boost you're not temping hot at all? That's my current gearing on blinky non boost mode. It comes off at 170+ after an 8 min main and 45 deg on my Novak Ballistic endbell (up 15 deg from stock 30).

That was on a Novak Havoc Pro SC though, I replaced it this week with a Tekin RS. I'll have to wait and see what happens this weekend.

Edit: I'm assuming you recalibrated the ESC when you switched it out. Use 100% EPA

i run a 25/78 in timing profile 4 and come off 120* with a 13.5

Hey guys, just came form the track. Got there late and registered, yada yada yada, put the truck on the track and this thing is loose. Stock tire/wheel combo running on carpet with jumps with a 17.5 non timing. 40 oil in all shocks, green springs in the back, silver front. It seems like it enters the corner fine, midway it gives out and ass end comes around. What do you guys recommend??? Softer springs in the back and lower on the shock oil???
