How does the sc4x perform compared to the pro 4 in these? I know the obvious that it has less torque but what about top end and how are the temps with them? Im looking for a less torquey motor and yes I tried both pro4's. I would like to try a 550 now.

Yea, i like it...i did the bumper hack like others have talked about on my slash 4x4 as it did hang up alot but with as firm as and good as this bumper seems i havent had to do that and do like the look of the way it is other than the grooves on the bottom as i do not like them like most but havent ran at the track to see how it work but out and around my house(no jumps really) it does good, lol

Here are the pics and notice the body mounts arent right but i was thinking of getting the 8ight buggy or truggy mounts(or even both) to make this work as the 810 mounts seen in pics are kinda short and ive had to elongate the holes on the body and dont want to open it any more as then the body will be ruined
And here is a pic of my unharmed RPM bumper and it has yet to get caught up on the body once

Last race I smoked my pro 4 in practice and had to go with my back up (sc4x 4.5). A guy who has never beat me beat me by a lap. We both drove good I just didn't have the speed to keep up. Lap times are low 30s and I was almost 2 seconds off where I should have been. I would try adjusting settings, current limiter before I gave up on the pro 4. Temps were good on the sc4x though. Keep in mind that we have a pretty good sized track with a couple of fast sections where speed is needed.

I am actually a very good driver and regularly make it into the a-mains at my track. I don't know what kind of speedbumps you have at you track but we actually have big jumps at ours. If a poorly molded stock front bumper can't take a hit then that's losi's problem.

Switched back to my 4.5 550 and have settle down a bit. After a 8 min main i am at about 155 with a 13 tooth pinion.
One idea is to turn your epa down with the pro4..

Just finished installing the new HA Pivot balls and new tie rod ends. You would be amazed at how much wear i had on my steering links and my servo link. The new ones really take up a lot of slop.
Im still amazed that the stock one wear and the rod ends do not.
I laid the new one next to the old one and pretty much laughed...the old one wasnt even a ball anymore. It was pretty much a straight tube. I even called over my GF to show her.

Yeah for real i installed mine at lake park for the last race of the season and i had to readjust everything because the ha balls really tightened up alot of the slop.I just put the updated springs,ha bodies and aluminum bleeder caps so i can run emulsion,I heard it lands much smoother.
Im really considering the MIP upgrade..but want to see some more racer reviews on it. Not to mention wait for it to drop in price.

As for running the shocks emulsion style i have not noticed much difference at all from the stock bladders. The only thing i noticed was a squirty squeaky sound at full compression.

Should the shock shafts wobble?

That squirty squeaky sound at full compression means the air isnt fully bled out. Do it again till the air noise is gone.
