hi guys. my scte is on its way from 1hobbies. do you guys prefer the tekin pro4 motors or the tekin 550 sc motors? ill be running on a very large outdoor loamy track. if its been asked already, can you point me in the direction for the posts.
also has anyone tried any other esc instead of the rx8? im looking at the hobbywing. i run the xerun's in my touring cars and wanted to keep the electrics in the same family.
thanks.

+1 on the SCT Pro. Working flawlessly in my truck.

Yes we are running opposite stock on sway bars. Just checking to make sure we are on the same page. Might want to try disconnecting the sway bar to see the extreme and if that is too agressive you can go down on the front sway bar. Swaybars as a general rule of thumb take away traction from the end you install it.

Read on an earlier post that taking the front swaybars off will help the turning. I really had to work for my truck to turn properly. Took them off and it made a huge difference.

I run on a UK outdoor bumpy track, I tried using big bore shocks before as I needed more pack for the bumps and jumps but was never happy. Don't bother changing the shocks just the pistons, the RCshox 2 stage pistons are awesome they give better response in the bumpy sections and good pack for the jumps, I could corner so hard without rolling the tyres came off the rims!
Excellent job Marcus

Issue with servo
Since a couple of days I own a brand new Losi TEN-SCTE.
I've built in all the electronics and now I'm having an issue with my servo, I think.
Here's my config:
- Castle Sidewinder SCT ESC/motor combo (new)
- Spektrum DX3s Tx with SR300 Rx (always used in my Traxxas Slash 4x4)
- Sävox 1258tg servo (new)
When I turn on I hear some beeps from the ESC/motor and everything is quiet.
From the moment I turn the wheel on the Tx, the servo makes some noise, just like there's some interference... I hope you understand what I'm trying to say?!
When turning the steering quickly from left to right, a few times after each other, sometimes the servo does some weird things and wants to go back in neutral position. All the time the servo makes noise.
Someone an idea?

You know, its funny, was just about to ask about this.
Im using ryans new setup (553), like it a lot, just a few minor adjustments.
Im trying to get rid of that slight push going into a turn. I have moved the camber link up (1b). Im thinking about removing my sway, wondering how much of an effect that will have.
Any other suggestions? Just would like it to rotate around 180/90 degree turns a little better.
Thinking of trying 7k in the center diff (573) or run 2k in the rear (552).

For a smallish medium traction indoor track (same one rcgod is referring to I believe) I am using 3/3/2 in the diffs and medium bar front, small bar rear. I tried the small front bar and got too much steering response.

Sway bar size
Thanks Ryan! That helps a lot when workin off someone's setup!
I've been using 1.6 front and 2.0 rear. My truck still seems a bit loose in the rear - I was over steering at the end of the long straight all weekend. Does this indicate too much steering or too little rear grip? Maybe I'll try a fatter front and thinner rear bar.
