yep thats the one, i was losing power and thought it was dumping too, which was highly unlikely since i run the xcelorin 60c 6000mah batts. i thought going hexes would bulletproof the rollpins, but apparently not. i did pick this sc10 up used though, so who knows how many miles were on the rollpin already. solid pins should be a lot better, i should have them today.

ThunderbirdJunkie snapped an MIP CVD back in the day on his B2. Still not sure what happened there Still never broken an axle pin, though. Only time the pin got stripped out was using JConcepts wheels, at least for ThunderbirdJunkie.

Can anyone here tell me if the JC concepts Hi-Flow body will fit on my body even tho I have a tall ESC(Mamba Max Pro)?

The wedges on both sides of the body donnot seem to give much room for a big ESC.

I'm thinking it's easier to line up the hex on the wheel vs a small pin. Never snapped an axle pin either. Did snap an out drive once.

Get it. There are pretty much no circumstances under which it doesn't help stabilize this car and give you a more predictable ride!

On another note, it seems to me that the team drivers are using the shorty packs to get the setup a lot closer to what we all had before the 8mm chassis came into our lives!

Am I right?
