75/26 or 28 depending on how big and flowing the track is.

Clutch basket off of my 4x4. I too saw a pic of it mounted to a b4. it doesn't work. I couldn't get the nut loose enough. and it pop my idler on my bench. I don't make this stuff up.

I wouldn't mess with a carbon chassis unless it actually changes the truck like the x factory. That's something id like.. but 250 bucks sucks lol

I'm running 28/75 on my 17.5 Epic D3 before adding boost. Would probably run maybe 30 or 32 /75 if I ran non-boosted, but haven't had a no-boost race come up yet.

i would imagine this would be something more intended for oval racing, not offroad

The new AE slipper has a recessed backplate so you can get the spring tension right. A longer topshaft screw would do the same thing.

Garodiscs maybe? Come to think about it...

Sanding rings after heavy use makes for a thin ring , it can split in two pieces when you reuse ...
Rings are not expensive , flip um once to use the other side and then replace after ...;)

Ae diff rings come polished and do not need sanding....

Sometime I have found a ring or two that could use a sanding , but that does not happen but rarely ....

So I don't know a ton about exactly how this slipper should be set. But im confused about what's wrong with the stock top shaft that a longer would help. Are you saying that the soring is still to tight with stock type settings? Or is this just an issue with the new slipper parts?

I get great performance from 78/28 with full endbell timing and no esc timing. Temps after 5-7min are between 140-150*

Here's a link to the picture. http://www.thebigrc.com/?p=2211 Looks like it's on a buggy.

I was thinking about this a while back when I first got the MTK basket for my 4x4. But felt it might only be beneficial if I ran a mod motor on my 2wd and B4.1 but I'm only 17.5. I guess 1Fastpede already gave it a go

Im running my sc10 on and oval and was wondering if there is a way to lower it?

Dadaman 02-09-2012 02:51 PM

I am looking around for a set of good looking wheels for a SC10. Can anyone point me in the right direction where I could get chrome or black chrome wheels from?
I had a look at HPI, but I am unsure which ones would fit.

Maybe. I tried full std pads and still no go.
