I haven't even gotten to get mine dirty yet so maybe I'm trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist....

Yea. I had xray 808 shocks on the scrt. They are just what I had here and they worked well on the scrt. The SCTE shocks are WAY better than the stock jammin shocks. I'm running the stock shocks on my 810e also and see no reason to upgrade them. They just work well. Do yourself a favor and test them before you start spending money upgrading them.

+1 You guys have been a huge help! Especially getting the info to losi and horizon about the diff pins and mailing out new ones out for free!! Im sticking with Losi for now on. You guys blow everyone away on all the help just in the forums. Last but not lease these trucks are awesome, thanks Losi ill be a customer for you guys for life!

Does anyone know the Kv rating of the ballistic 4.5 with the 14mm tuning rotor installed? I know it reduces Kv, but not sure how much. PS looking for facts and please note where you got the details. Thanks!

I havent had it happen yet but a few guys at our track have come to me asking if I had. My guess is that the gears in the diff werent set in all the way causing a bind while tightening. But thats just a guess.

Ryan, do you know of any pivot balls for the shocks that will work until I get my shock plastics set with the right ones?

There is no chart showing the 14mm rotor. I would guess it has to be somewhere in between. prob 4,300kv or more. You would have to call novak to get a definate.
