Wishful thinking I guess. I'm guessing a while since the 22T just came out.

They missed the boat with me, now. I would have been all set to drop $600 on a TLR kit version of the SCTE in Nov-Dec but now I've already rebuilt my truck with al the option parts (less shock shafts and steering tube which just came out) so I'm not buying now. Let's hope TLR doesn't miss the boat with a 22SCT, especially given the impending release of the Durango 2wd SCT.

what batteries are you running with the rx8 pro4 4600 combo in the SCTE?
I'm running Thunder Power 5300 mAh 65C 2S. I'm very happy with the juice these Lipos provide, just keep in mind it will cost you. I'll run about 2 minutes of practice, a 5 minute main, throw them back on the charger and they'll be at 7.3 volts. Not too bad if you ask me.

Ive tried one of those and still cant make 8 mins. Using nanos 6000's now and just dump @ under 8 mins......running the new viper esc/ tenshock 4600 and still just shy of 8 im dumping.......gonna try a 13t pinion down from 14 and see. Also gonna try 7k in center diff as it seems to be unloading the front tires still w 5k maybe losing some power there too

I ran 10minute mains all summer w/ a castle 3800 (1410) w/ mmp and my Orion 90c 6500mAH. Other racers were using simlar setups and the CRC 6200,6500 packs with good results as well. I think the CRC packs are a little less expensive.

They are not available yet, wish they were , my front end is looser than a 5$ hooker. Doesnt help i lost that gromit under the ackerman bar. Which i hope comes with the ackerman spare bag as i dont see them in the picture of hardware, picked up the ha shock bodies n balls . Looks like yet another purchase in the near future. Got the m2c pistons theyre pretty smooth, cant wait to try them in the HA bodys n ti shock shafts though, just playing the waiting game lol

Thanks
Chad - Congrats on the AMain in Pro2 at Motorama! All you'll really need after you get the Losi is a larger trophy case.

If you already have that, start budgeting for the lightened outdrives (front/rear/center). Not necessary off the bat, but a pretty good upgrade (lighter, stronger) over the stock ones.

I'm guessing your new truck comes with the upgraded/hardenend gearbox hardware, so no real changes there.

The other item I'd suggest is a BCE, TLR or Bumps (NitroHouse) chassis.

A free mod you can do, especially since you have the new shock caps, is convert the shocks to emulsion (cut your bladders). There are videos out there - I think it made a big improvement at BumpsNJumps.

You don't need to buy any of that for the truck to work. The only thing I'd really recommend you buy off the bat is the front and rear spring sets, and two piston packs to get it setup.
