I run savox and you can get either the 1257 or 1258... one is just faster and the other has a little more torque. I personally prefer the speed. I have heard they might cause brown outs with spektrum gear but I don't record which as I do not use them. The only reason for that is because the BEC voltage isn't high enough to provide for both the RX and savox servo, so you can try using a glitch buster, or getting a BEC.

Sand and water can do damage if you don't thoroughly clean your kit.
Well even though this is a lighter ride it doesn't affect your electronics... If you have a spek then just look for another servo or research about the spek receivers and which you can use.

I'm running a 2wd B4.1 w/13.5t motor, no boost, timing +10.
Up coming race on red clay, very technical track. Relatively smooth, but, definitely a few rough spots. This track always has some dust (corn silk) on the surface.
So what tires would you guys recommend? Temps should be ~50*F and moderate humidity. Rain is not expected, but, who knows, right?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Just no knowledge of red clay outdoor racing tires.

If I could do that I definitely would. This will be my first time at this track, and I just don't know who may be there. I'm fairly new to racing, just been bashing for a couple of years..... and I know my bashing tires.

Gotchya. In your case I'd bring any small pin tires and anything remotly close to a rebar / suburb type tire. I'd also bring about $40 to buy a set and tools to glue them up before racing. RC racers are always happy to share setups, you'll have no trouble figuring it out quickly. I have no clue on red clay as I live in the desert. Hopefully someone can get you a little closer on here before you go. Good luck
I've made a post on the race thread and maybe someone will chime in and if I'm really lucky my LHS wil have some in stock..... now that'd be too good to be true!....
I run a savox servo sc-1251 http://www.savoxusa.com/Savox_SC1251...avsc1251mg.htm
and spectrum receiver and no brown outs. using orion r10 pro speed controller with a 17.5 motor

I was surprised but then again the orion BEC is at 6v.
I have the 1258 in my 1/8 scale xray e-buggy and love it as well. but have to run a cap with those on my 1/8 scale, never tried on 1/10 scale
cant go wrong either way. just I know no brown outs with the 1251. both are 4096 digital so the resolution is great
