Ive managed to get a Losi High Performance SCT shell, the pre-cut one, but only the shell is pre-cut and not any of the vents, im i missing the point here? or have i been sent the wrong one??

i bought it here

Also it came with a shizz load of 22sct stickers, maybe its been taken from a kit and there is no labels on the packaging, so no part number????

They only pre cut the outter shell. You will have to cut out the vent holes. Everybody is different on what they like as I have all of them cut out and my buddy only cut out a few.

Looks like they sent you one from the kit , not the TLR8061 body .



TLR8061 has the vent holes cut

Thats understandable, but the listing said all the vents are pre-cut?

Probaly best to wait and see what Ryan says

I use the spacers that come in 1/8 scale rebuild kits but I'm pretty sure it's 1mm

I think you have other issues. When I put the KH dual bearing support on mine I gained a little bit of run time, and my motor temps dropped.

Looks like you got the wrong one, does the part number on the bag show ###61?

I tried using a 1mm spacer(turned on my lathe) and it wasn't quite enough to keep the shocks from leaking. That's why i want to try using 2 o-rings. I measured the shocks last night and a .040" spacer under the cap should put the o-rings at the right pre-load.

Oh Chuck, you couldn't be more wrong.

I have my days too. Lately the indoor track has been killing me.

I've been saying the same thing for a year. Then, this weekend I got t-boned on the motor side and the impact blew out the front and rear motor bearings. Wowza!

Do you mean it needed a .040 spacer in addition to the one already there? The low friction orings swell really quickly so you might have a little seeping the first day but they seal up after that.

I dug into my SCTE over the weekend trying to find out why the rear end is getting so loose. The suspension seems free enough. The chassis actually has more flex with the plastic braces than I remembered. Then I got to the shocks. The shock shafts are really dull. I chucked one up in my drill and buffed it up with metal polish. It was shiny and smooth and felt much freer in the shock afterward. I've ordered the TiN shafts, so this was just to prove my theory. Next up I noticed that the oil was pretty black, I had changed the oil recently but I thought that the seals were just bad and letting dirt by. I cleaned the body with mineral spirits and looked at the bore. There is a large spot on one side where the piston has worn the anodizing away. I'm sure that between the rough shafts and worn bodies I'm getting a lot of friction. So now I've got the HA bodies, bleeder caps and TiN shafts on order. I'm sure that will help quite a bit.

I also tried taking the rear brace off the truck to see how much more it would flex. I might try running without it. I think I'd also like to try making a rear brace similar to the Fioroni 8B brace that will allow the chassis to flex a little more but keep it from bending in a crash.

i would imagine you'd have issues with the center rear driveshaft popping out of the center diff without a rear chassis brace.

That hasn't been my experience at all. I run the same setup. My temps are lower and have slightly longer run time.
