I am geared at a 13. I think 15 is a little too tall to start with, with that motor. Larger tracks or cooler outside temps you can go 14 but 15 may be a little too much.

Hey guys, I'm not sure exactly what the part is called, front bumper support bracket maybe, it's a small piece around the top of the front diff housing, in front of the shock tower. anyways, myself and at least 4 other guys had this piece break this weekend and I was wondering if anybody has came up with a more durable replacement for this piece? It's not that big of a deal really, but I don't think you can purchase it separately, it comes with the front bumper set.

I completely get it. You are caught up in something you can't bs your way out of (again). Taiwan comprises 90% of the ROC (republic of China). They speak Mandarin (chinese) They are 100 miles off the coast of mainland China. They are China. Say all you want. Maybe you should spend more time researching solutions and enforcing quality control than defending inconsisties in material quality and production issues on the internet.

Usually once I am threatened with a lawsuit, the gloves are off, but yes, I would say it to his face as well.

Was running 14/40, Current limit 75, 10 Timing 5k-20k, pulled off after 10mins at 167, hottest ive got with it so far.
Basically what im asking is, which would be better, run 15 with no TA or 14 with TA? Im assuming the 15 would be faster in the straight, soften the throttle though (not a problem in my eyes, still has PLENTY of rip).
Im trying for just a tad more top on the straight.

I've never been impressed by people who threaten to sue either, but why dont you just PM eachother. Threatening to sue someone over opinion is chicken $hit. But so is argueing on an RC forum. I dont care what anyone says is the best or worst. Do your own research at the local track. Get a general consensus on different forums. Pm people or email manufacturers with questions. Purchase whatever you choose, save your receipt. I seriously believe that all of the manufacturers being mentioned (Bump, BCE, Jammin, Kingheadz, TLR) would have no problem answering questions or replacing a defective part/s. My general consensus from this chassis question is that they all are good options. I understand ISO standards and the differences in metals from around the world. I am an aerospace machinest and aviation technician. I see certificates of conformance for materials and process. Yes their is a difference in metals from around the world. But manufacturers change suppliers all the time. This month blank stock comes from India, next month China, next year Malaysia. I wish my SCTE had a Losi TLR flex tuned chassis or any of the others as well. Its an upgrade over stock. Thats what its marketed as, and thats just what it is.

The Idea sounds good for changing the angel to help with wear, but now with the motor cocked like that it is going to offset the CG even more and I would think the truck wouldnt be as balanced.
It would of been nice if they redid the center diff holder thing and the motor slider to keep the front angled but to still to keep the motor straight and not all angled.
I'm pretty sure anyone could take a chassis and drill 4 new holes to change the angel of the Center diff.
Other then that the Chassis looks like its pretty light being milled out all over. Think it said only 288grams. Wonder how much flex its going to have as it didnt say how thick the chassis is but im guessing the same as all the other option chassis out there.

Hey Guys,
I'm trying out Casey Pecks setup for the SCTE. The question I have is he used gold front spings and black rear springs, what would the new spring set equivalents be? Thanks.

The only other parts I have broken in my first couple months with the truck are one front arm and one body post. The arms could use a little more material around where the shock mounts and the body posts could be improved.

+1 I broke this part and it looks like a weak spot on the truck. I ended up buying the whole front bumper, which I did not need. If it breaks again too quickly, I am going to try to rig something better. Would be a good opportunity for someone to make a better after market bumper, other than the T-bone, I don't want that obnoxious thing on my truck.

Yeah it's a little weak! When my third new front bumper gets here, I'm going to take this piece to a machine shop and see if they will make it out of aluminum!
