I'm wondering the same exact thing but with SCTE wheels. My solution would to run a larger HEX and short nut but I don't know if there's enough room on the axle. Below is the bigger hex.... maybe the sc6

So if I mounted SC10 wheels on the SCR does it make it narrower? They, in theory, could work but the truck would be narrower? Has anyone done this?

I have a SC10 4x4 and have run those wheels on my Kyosho. They work, but why would you want it narrower? What I like to do is run the Kyosho or Slash wheels on my SCR.

In the end I just bought JConcepts Premount Barcodes in Slash rears and some Slash Hazard wheels to mount up other tires.

How much rear toe are you guys running w/ 17.5, indoors, medium to medium/high traction?

I run SC10 Hazards on my SCR. I would only suggest it if you run on a track that does not have a lot of traction or it has a lot of tight technical sections. I get a lot more traction and better response from my truck. However, being that they are narrower wheels, the truck has a tendency to bicycle or traction roll.

This may sound weird, but I am a lot more consistent with the narrower wheels that I am with the wider wheels. Last race, I tried running wider fronts but kept the Hazards in the rear. I was able to push the truck harder to make faster lap times, but I wasn't as consistent as I was with the Hazards all around.

In a nutshell, the narrower wheels will give you more traction and better response. And from my testings, it gives more consistency.

If I'm not mistaken, the slash rears worked but made the truck wider than the original scr wheels.

its maybe a mm wider on both side if you use Slash Rears, not a big deal unless you run a ROAR sanctioned race or run somewhere that uses (and enforces) ROAR rules , and even then I think they fit the spec box if you do

also I went with a RevTech 17.5, suggested gearing for Blinky (either 78 or 82 spur)? Track- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWG9xnRohCE

Disregard what the site says, you can call them and order directly. The axles are great.

Fast Lane would not sell to me directly. Instead they referred me to RC Monster. Good service - I had the axles in two days.

If you havent looked for other axles then i would suggest taking a peek at the MIP cvd's for the kysoho SCR. The axles are bulletproof!!!

I have recently switch to the JConcepts 3mm Offset SC10 wheels. It has made the truck more responsive.

For blinky gearing, start with a 78/27. This gear ratio has worked great for me on a few different tracks. For small tracks, go down a tooth or two on the pinion.

Guys, I've bought my son, he's 4, his first RC car (SC-R SP) to go racing with Dad and wanted to set it up to be as durable, and low maintenance, as possible. So I was thinking of dropping in a gear diff until he gets comfortable driving on a track. I've bought the usual spares for it just looking for some input from those that have time on this car and no it's high and low spots.

I am putting in an RS Pro mated to a Redline 17.5 with stock spur so I should start with a 27t pinion?

Thanks for the feedback guys!

Nice SP for the kid...best pop award!

Id probably keep the ball diff and grab some axles like I was just posting abov

Anyone know if this is a typo? Tebos' CRCRC 2012 setup says 5mm shim under the rear suspension mount??
