Mine is a "A" from the 2nd shipment. I haven't run it enough to wear anything out yet. I wonder if they did anything to the 3rd shipment.

I just bought my truck last Friday, my LHS said it sat on the shelf for maybe 2 or 3 weeks.

amen 8ight-e.
timannnn6. who cares how many pages it grows a day. not very helpfull info IMO over the last couple months.
i have been off the forums in the last couple months while my wife had our first child and i harvested our wheat crop and replanted soybeans in the wheat stubble and also helped neighbors recover from a EF5 tornado.
seems to me the thread has gone down hill. the last time i did get to run my scte. i managed to thrash the rear bumper. bend the chassis up directly in front of the rear diff. bent the rear drive shaft. also its time to replace my drive cups as they are about wore half into.
look forward to repairing my scte and resume racing

If you have any questions about what I or others think you should do to mod your truck and to keep some of this stuff from happening again that you experienced, I and others on this site can help you with that since you've been MIA for a few months. Also, keep an eye out for center cvd's in the not too distant future that will use set screws instead of the pins that many have had issues with popping out.
You had kind of a harsh tone to your post and it doesn't help anyone, so let's just chalk it up to sleepless nights from your new little one and long hours doing an often thankless but VERY important job. So, thank you for helping keep food on our plates as your source of livelihood, get some sleep and let's keep it friendly and informative
Take care, man.

Does anyone know if the revised rear bumper has a new part number or where to buy one? I need one, mine broke at the same spot as others mid mount screws.

It's a running change, so it has the same part number. I wish they added an X or something to the end of parts that have been updated like Traxxas does. That way you're always sure whether or not you're getting the updated part. You'll just have to look very carefully, which kinda sucks because if you're ordering online, it'll be nearly impossible to tell. In a few months it'll be a mute point as almost all stock will be the updated version, but right now, I'd double check since most is probably NOT the updated bumper. Ryan gave me a new bumper to test out and I have to say, it's been flawless! to give you an idea how much just that little extra material helped out, I broke my first bumper on my first weekend with the truck, this one is going on 4 or 5 weeks now.

Seriously, buy the Tbone bumper for the Ten T. It will likely never break and it is much smaller and lighter. Don't get the Tbone bumper for the SCTE, it is big, ugly and heavy. Regardless of how they strengthen the stock Losi one, it will always be vulnerable to breaking just like every SC truck out there because they are held together by screws and where the screws go through will always be a weak spot unless they make it just crazy heavy.

After listening very closely, I figured out that there was a 75% chance that the squeaking was coming from the center diff's front bearing, so I tore it down and cleaned up the center diff's bearings and reinstalled. Problem solved!
I figured the bearing would've been bad, but when I had it apart it was spinning just fine. Unbelievable how just having a little bit of dirty grease in there could make so much noise!
