Hi everyone,
I finally got my SCTE. From the lack of a sticker on the battery tray I assume that it is still one of the first batch, maybe it's not selling fast enough in Europe. The truck feels really solid and impressive after my Blitz, however I have just hand rolled it a few meters, but after taking it apart I see significant wear on the pins and shims (so it really must be a first gen one). The LHS owners are great guys and racers, they have already provided a set of upgraded pins, so it will be solved soon.
While taking apart the car for servicing the diffs cvd I found that the front gearbox has a lot of grease in it, while the rear was clean, with just the usual amount of grease on the gears. I think it is excess and can be cleaned off, but want to be sure. If I need to fill the gearbox, what kind of grease is it? It's not mentioned in the manual.

The top and bottom screws for the front brace have to be shortened by about 1/8". I don't remember if the rear was the same size or not.
Any way about it, it's nothing a Dremel tool and cut off wheel or sanding drum can't handle.

I cleaned them out completely and then put a light coat of wheel bearing grease on the ring gear. Just about any grease will do the job.

Good to know. Just looking at the gears I figured they were 32P.
Well the speedo is reporting out a heat level with a red LED. I thought it represented motor + SC heat level but I guess it could just be SC heat level. Either way, both are hot.

I mean LOSB3104, the plastic housing that holds the diff.Thanks Chris, I'll try my remaining hpi silicone diff lube then. I guess it's better for this purpose then the Losi black grease that I used for sealing the shocks and diffs.

The dummy lights on the Havoc Pro SC only tell you the temp ranges of the esc itself, not the motor. Do yourself a favor and buy a temp gun. It's an excellent tool to have in your box. I use mine after every run no matter what.

This is awesome. I just found out that our race was videotaped last saturday night. It was live on ustream as well. Anyway the website is www.flowoodrc.com and the youtube link directly to the video is gonna follow. I am the white truck that starts second. I passed the first place truck on the first set of jumps and held the lead the rest of the race. It did stay close the whole race though.

I have 80 packs through mine and the only thing that needs to be replaced is the body. My LHS didn't have a Losi body so I tried out the SC10 body.

At any rate I like that!

so i have a mmp and a 1410 3800 for my scte
ive been curious about 8th scale motors...
what would be the best motor to pair with a mmp and what number of cell batteries to run?
i dont race just run at all the local tracks a few times a week for fun
what are the advantages and disadvantages of using an 8th scale motor?
cooler temps? not many gearing options maybe? i really have no idea
ive only ran 2s setups and 10th scale 2wd so 8th scale and 4wd are new to me
