I have a REEDY pack that cost like 150 bucks and it came with the same birdcage style plugs as my cheapie Nano Techs have , the difference is the REEDY pack says not to use the charging harness for running the vehicle ......

but other than that, no, none a thing but if you plan to run 2S i would get the roller and whatever motor/esc you want or buy the RTR and sell the electrics on here or ebay

I just purchased my SCTE too and have been reading this thread for some time now (so much info here) and a lot of people have spoken about the truck being nose heavy and that you have to get used to staying on the the throttle just a hair longer than with the 2WD. Ultimately the decision is your but I would spend more time on the truck before the chassis upgrade but like I said earlier, many have spoken well about it.

Quick question, and not enough time to read 2600 posts. I just bought a new one on Friday and have yet to put my electronics in it. (Just been busy)
Does anyone make a undercover?
I have a JConcepts for my sons slash, but I haven't been able to find one for this truck.

As for the servo thing...Do you mean the alum servo arms? I would say yes as long as you get the right one for the servo you have(count your teeth on your servo to confirm)

Oh ok thanks yea thats what i meant . Im looking at the Brushless Hobbies 120 Amp ESC and it looks like il need to ethier hardwire the Tenshock motor wires to the ESC or get bullet connecters what MM would fit them wires ? I only need the Bullet connecters for the motor wires not the battery wires.
Oh sorry i saw what you said about the ESC.

Just an example, I have never needed to buy, nor have I seen or felt the need to upgrade half of the rc car or truck. I have owned a couple of T4, B4s, 2 B44s, RC8, RC8te, Kyosho 2 and 4wd buggies, and one of the first SC10s.
Granted they were respectively for what they are or were, at a different price point, but it amuses me that sc trucks in general, have kits from non manufactures, that make the said brand better.
I am very fortunate enough to be able to afford what I want in this hobby, but I do find it rather expensive when the upgrade kit is 60% the cost of the actual kit.
Either way, I am sure its a great over all value for what you get.

Well even after using 2 paper seals, my diff has worked flawlessly. The tolerances seem tight enough and it isn't skipping teeth or grinding. Gonna leave both seals on for now.

Thats pretty sad tho that for that price they cant give you a better harness for charging especially since the duratrax bullets i use are $2-3 for 2 bullets.
Let us kno what you did also...
Ya, no electrics....LMAO! but other than that, no, none a thing but if you plan to run 2S i would get the roller and whatever motor/esc you want or buy the RTR and sell the electrics on here or ebay

The 4mm bullets that are going to the motor are for 12 gauge right ? I looked at the wires on the Tenshock there 12 gauge. Good to know on the Brushless Esc.

Does anyone make a undercover?
Had an old one of these laying around from the Eight, trim it up and mount it, fits really well.
