Yes, I believe most are using the E-Revo one for it. I could be wrong though.

Ryan, will the losi torque rod also fit the stock SCTE chassis without modification?

you would have to drill a hole. I seen a guy on here use a revo pushrod on thier truck and that was about the same thing as the tourqe rod, that was on a stock chassis.

I have a revo torque rod, that was salad. i just wondered if they made the factory rod to fit one of the existing holes.

looks cool but why would you use that as a brace? More flex ? And 2nd whats the difference when driving from stock chassis to a flex one? I had a losi 2.0b with flex chassis and tried my buddies none flex with same setup seemed pretty much the same to me. That was back to back driving to. I have a stock one and 100 bucks for aftermarket chassis is it really forth it. I don't really care about weight savings. I would rate myself as an average driver not super fast and not slow.

i just compared both and the answer seems to be no, the stock chassis does not have a countersunk hole for it. I don't see why you wouldn't be able to just drill and countersink one though

switched to emulsion shocks, went from 40wt to 30wt in the front, kept 30wt but switched from #3 to #4 piston in the rear, switched from a novak 5.5 550 to a tekin pro4 4600, and to a TLR chassis. all i need now is a center/front driveshaft and it will be good to go! i wonder if it's gonna feel like the same truck.....

the motor alone should be enough to feel a differance, the weight savings going from 550 to 540 is pretty drastic!! then the chassis too, wow bet it's gonna be a blast!!

funny thing is, the car was turning great at the races.. I was doing great tell my battery gave up the ghost. do you think I should change them.? and if so what or how would it affect the handling. Thanks Casper,Hacker and all the rest for all your guys help.
I also went and looked at three of the set ups on the first page and my writings and I even wrote it down wrong. It sucks to get old..LOL
Well lighter sway bars tend to give more traction up until there is too much roll...so a lighter front will give more steering...and a lighter rear will tend to give more rear traction.

Yeah, should be here this week and ship the end of this week or beginning of next.

You can if you want to drill a whole, otherwise you ahve to use the stock brace on the stock chassis or the stock brace or losi brace on the TLR chassis.

Question on the new Chassis. Is it any stronger then the stock one or is it just lighter?

Bent mine today and am trying to figure out what to replace it with?

What is a good pinion size for the SCTE with the Castle 1410 motor on a tight indoor track (approximately 90x40 ft)? Thanks.
