That 7200kv on 3-4s in a tc3-4 would easily crack 100mph. I've been looking to do something like that.

I think the 4800kv is perfect for the losi on 2s should have some nice top end and enough torque to fly around the track.

For a loss of .01 in speed i'd go with the extra 22.2 oz-in of Torque.

I run the SC-1258TG im both my SCTE and by RC8.

I see a lot of guys running the Tekin pro4 4600KV, is there a thread more dedicated to the Tekin Pro4 line of motors? I have looked and didn't see one.

Thanks in advance.

Yes there is just not as active so you might need to search a few pages back.

Chris, what does your toe out look like in the front? I dont have a gauge to set the front but mine are just barely out when looking at it. When the balls get sloppy and the toe out goes out farther the truck gets really squirrly. Then I just close them back in till it feels right.

I'm running 0-1 degrees. Not much at all.

I think it just comes down to driving style. I tend to do better with a truck that is neutral or slightly under steers. I also do better with a truck that is slightly underpowered. I tend to over control the truck when the adrenaline gets flowing.

I've been working on my SC-R setup for 6 months and finally found the right setup and tire combo. I dropped almost a full second off my fast lap on the same track. Now that I have the handling down I'm going to motor up a little and see if I can keep it under control.

I looked at the SC10 4x4 saddle pack thread and those guys are running a 45/55 weight distribution on their trucks. Some of those guys are running alot of ballast weight to get their trucks up to 6.5 lbs or so. The SC10 4x4 is the truck to beat on our track at the moment.

I made a new battery/ESC tray last night. I put the ESC in front of the battery. The tray has three sets of mounting holes so I can get anywhere from .5" to 1.5" farther back than the stock tray. I'll post some pictures when I get it completed. It should give me a 47/53 weight distribution. I may just keep adding weight to my truck too. I'm close to 6 lbs right now. That's 8-12oz lighter than the guys with the stock trucks and they seem to be doing fine on my track.

I plan to go practice tomorrow. I'll report my findings when I get done.


Chris

How so? Below is a quote from the manual. Granted the link does not work. But I can say based on experience I sent one in with no receipt & got a brand new one back without question?

"Please see www.rc10.com/rc/replacexp for details regarding Team Associated’s XP Lifetime Product Replacement Policy."

Guess we had different experiences then? I called last spring when the one in my crawler died figuring I would have to buy a new one as I didn't have a receipt. They just said send it in, I did expecting some large charge but I got a new one back and didn't even have to pay return shipping.

The service sold me & its pretty much all I buy.. Have 3 of them now & am planning to add a 4th when I get a 1/8 scale this spring
