NO it doesn't, unless you are making up your own definition of a planetary gear set.

a sun gear is the center gear in a gear set that all the gears spin in the SAME plane

a spider gear set is used in an open differential to let the tires rotate at different speeds;

You may have seen my video of the sc10. and i run a 8.5. no problems at 4 hours + track time and bashing. i have only broke 1 arm and that was in the street in front of my house. hit a rock. soory your all having this problem. and if you think that i take it easy you are wrong.http://www.youtube.com/pthilltoprchttp://www.youtube.com/pthilltoprc and this was one of my first runs with the box set up?

Grease and double shims it is - thanks guys.

Oh yeah - they are spider gears :nod:

Traxxas boys are used to planetary gears :eek:

How did you get that crazy traction?

With the stock tires and a 17.5 I couldn't even drive mine at hot rod. I put slash tires on it and it was better but still slower than my slash.

What type of surface are you driving on????
My personal track if i water it the night before and let it soak in over night the next day it is wet/tacky this truck hooks up. Now if i dont water it at night and just dust it with water before i drive as soon as it starts to dry the trucks attitude changes and it is very hard to drive and be consistent.

What's the gearing you used on the 8.5, I see it's a smallish track.

I have no idea about the traction. stock tires work well at my track. the truck still is a hand full and i like that some times. if i race a rig that performs better every race. It gets old

Just going off of what AE refers to them in the manual as. This was already talked about a page and a half ago. /conversation

I use 21/87 with good temp. How things going CUDA Is that your car in the av it looks sweet and $$$

I don't know what to call it, most likely hard packed clay. It will mud up if it gets too much water and blue groove without water. I think it is very unique dirt, none of the other tracks in so cal are like it.

if it's wet at all stock tires work best on the Slash. dry or hot and the Switch pro-line work, wet they are a joke.

I got a set of Slayer Switch tires today to try. I still can find goose bumps.

Corr trucks are taking over everywhere! they handle horribly at speed

Yeah, this is where my lack of experience really shows up. I'm not an expert tuner. Some of these settings on my radio are a little confusing. I'm not ready to give up on the SC10 yet, but I have been getting frustrated. I now have the Kurt Wenger setup and it helps.

I'll be at Hot Rod tomorrow. I'll practice with the SC10 there and see how it goes. I don't think I am ready to race it though. I'm racing my Slash and T4.

Well have fun. You want to know something funny. I was at my track trcr and Team AE called there wanting to know what i did to my truck becouse it was working so well. LOL:lol:

I wonder if it will be dry enough?
