The Delta vs Wye thing has been done to death by people more knowledgeable than us. For a quality motor with the same number of turns on all coils it makes no difference whether it is delta or wye. For cheap motors that have differing numbers of winds on any coil it can be a problem though if you have one of these is your car you have bigger issues. Since we tend to use very low numbers of turns it would be very unlikely you would get this though. For our purposes, copper fill and gearing are the biggest factors in determining the efficiency of our motors.

I also run the spacers up front for more rear traction

Inboard Camber Location: The TEN-SCTE has two inner
camber link locations. These locations work in the same
fashion and have the same eff ect as noted for the front. You
will fi nd that you will get more noticeable changes with the
outer locations in the hub. In general the upper hole will make
the TEN-SCTE more stable and keep the front end fl atter. This
works well on higher traction surfaces. The lower location will
make the steering more aggressive which works well on lower
traction surfaces. This can be good in some conditions but can
also make the TEN-SCTE diffi cult to drive in others.
Outboard Camber Location: Running the camber link in the
inside position on the hub will generate more rotation entering
a turn, but decrease steering on exit. Running the camber link
in the furthest outer position on the hub will generate more
stability entering a turn and increase steering on exit.

I ran a CC/Neu 1406/1Y 4600kv motor in the SCTE and the only problem I experienced was the shaft not holding up, so I fixed that problem and it works just fine for me and was what I was running before the PRO 4 (4600kv) came out
Another one that I run with no probs neither is a Neu 1406/3Y on 4s in the SCTE
I do not recommend this to all but for those who know what they are doing and have lightened up their rigs but honestly now that the PRO 4's are out it isn't a great solution anymore.
I only ran the CC/Neu 1406/1Y 4600kv w/5mm shaft because at the time their was nothing else with enough snap for me, this has changed with my PRO 4 4600kv.

What's the best way to cut away the radio box without messing up the stands for the servo. I assume you need to be careful you don't weaken the structure. Pics?

ok, lost my 3rd center/front driveshaft. ready to try packing the coupler with grease for the next one. will associated black grease work for this?

Should work jus fine till the new ones start to show

Which JConcepts body best fits the SCTE?
