Note this may only work if you are using the stock towers or carbon towers as the alum towers have the grooves and you would need to be very creative w/ a dremmel to even attempt.
There are one piece shock mounts available for the TEN series, they just are not titanium, sorry.

Tried the mmp sct with the 1410 saturday and after 1 2s pack through it it shut down. Tried it again today and same thing. Dont know if just a fluke or what. But something not right. The esc only had maybe 8 packs through it. So now its got a mm and 1410. Temps on motor 130 esc 98. The thing is awesome

+1 more win for the SCTE vs the rest.. I hear it a lot but man this truck was on rails today, TQ & won both a-mains, final main I snuck in a 12th lap (2 over the field). The track was a little rough from the winter but man it was nice to get out on the big track again, perfect day! Setup sheet for ideas below, I'm no pro but it worked very nice for me today.

I was getting the feel for the castle 1410's power band today on the bigger track and with a 16t pinion and noticed it feels just a touch soft in the middle which at first was scaring me a little on the triple so early on I did a lot of double, single's. Once I grew a set of balls and starting punching it coming off the double I quickly realized this little turd (1410) has way more power than I was giving it credit for. This motor is nutz, the best motor I've used including vs the tekin 4.5 and the ae 4.5. The motor never was over 138' typically around 130'. This is what I'll be running all year

Another note: The MA 5250 pack was decent, it will make a 10minute main with a few warm up laps easy w/ the 1410. I'm pulling around 470mAH/min with my current setup. The MA is listed as 100c, I'd say it's a 45c pack... my 50c speedzone 5400mAH pack has more punch expecially near the end. Granted it's not apples for apples, but a pretty real rating on this pack I have is 45/90 vs what I'm use to from other companies. It did the job and I will continue to use it.. the ~260grams is nice vs most packs at 300grams or more.

I'm runing them (ten-1 piece) I only posted that cause he asked.


Hacker where can I get my hands on the stock grease they are packing in these diffs from the factory? I really REALLY love my center and front as is. I've been using oils forever in my 8th scales but with no leaks and no issues I would just like be able to freshen them up a couple times through the season.

Thanks.. Please package and sell or at least to me direct if you can't sell to everyone LOL

Question of the day??

We were at the track today for a day of practice and I noticed the truck handling funny, after getting back to the table we found that the droop screw on the driver side was tightened up and that the passenger had more droop, now this is not the only time this has happened. what make's the droop screw tighten itself up. We cant figure it out

If you didn't do the droop pad mod (drill, tap, and use 8ight droop pads) then the chassis wears out (and fast) Depending on how it is wearing into the chassis and depending on how loose the droop grub is in the arm I think it would be plausible that it could back itself off some on its own with normal use. Also note if the chassis wears differently on either side the droop can also get a little out of whack.

just a guess..

@ eight-e
that tip on moving the throttle trim up until the tires spin on the stand is the ticket.
Good tip!
Ran the Enduros as well and they are way better than my I-Beams ever were for similar conditions.

The driver side is getting screwed in more(loosing droop) the passenger side is
where it should be I never have a problem with that side. When I put a driver on it, its tight to turn not loose.

My droop screws do the same thing. Thinking about putting teflon tape on them will do the trick.

if the grub is getting caught on the alum chassis in the wear area and essentially 'tugging' at it basically every time it has contact from the wear it maybe your problem? Have to inspect the area.. again just throwing out ideas.

I'd do that droop pad mod asap, if it keeps up after that you most likely need some pipe tape on the thread of your droop grubs to make sure it doesn't move.

Question for the Losi people:

I like the way the truck felt with the grease, but the grease has to go. What diff oils would give me a similar feel? I'm thinking about going 5-5-5.

Thanks!
