The temperature difference between the esc and motor doesn't mean anything. The change in esc temperature can tell you if gearing up or down should be the way to go.

Has anyone found the race results for the 4x4 sc class at the 2012 Dirt Nitro challenge?
I can't find anything... |

Sounds okay.
Yes, or mount it on top of the chassis facing down. Yes, but it's easy to check. Check the slipper temp. 80 degrees difference between the motor and the speed control is not normal. Good luck. Thanks |
TAPERED HOLE SHOCK PISTONS FOR SC10 4X4
http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/j...acing/3565.jpg
M2C RACING is pleased to announce the release of our 8 hole .9 through hole tapered pistons for the 13mm shocks. this is the same design that has been so sucessful on the Losi scte 4x4. We have tested many different configurations and this one seems the best It will allow you to have the same pack on the compression stroke but allow the shock to rebound much quicker and allow the vehicle to settle much quicker. Made with delrin and precisioned machined of fit. part no. m2c3565 www.m2cracing.com |
Couple of changes to my truck.

Allowed me to take the lead out from in front of the battery and gain a little more front weight bias. The extensions on the rear hubs raise the link 6mm. May have to shim the inner ball stud a little. I'll see after running it |

I am topping out about 3/4 down the straight. I do have the stock slipper but have a center diff on order. also do you guys cut holes in the chassis when you mount the fan there.
I went back to the track and put another pack thru it and it hit 210 and the esc was at 130. It seems hotter with the 13 than the 14. would the slipper slipping cause it heat this bad? Thanks again guys for your help, I would rather not replace the motor in the first month. |

Could you please explain this to me.
Thanks |
how does it work
Hey m2racing ,
Please explain how these work as I am not understanding the function of a tapered hole. Seems to me regardless of how big the entrance to the hole is ,there is only going to be so much flow through a given diameter. How does this change compression vs rebound if the oil is traveling through the same diameter hole in either direction. I must be lame as I do not get the function of these. O&S |
+1... I totally understand dual stage pistons....when they open up, it unblocks the extra holes.....but these tapered ones are beyond my comprehension....does it introduce turbulence into the oil? Or does it somehow compress the oil to get more volume through more easily?
|
Done! I will let you guys know how it works out!

You are waaay under geared, i run 15/62 with a 4600. If your esc is cool but the motor is hot you are under geared.

Front springs on the rear: Right now I like the greens on the rear with the stage 2 pistons. The white springs I felt had too much rebound with the stage 2's but was real good with standard 1.2 pistons. With your bigger jumps I would look at the whites because it does seem to help the truck jump more level. This weekend I have a big two day race and will be testing shocks and springs so I will have a better opinion (for what its worth) after this weekend. |
I threw the saddles in and went for a blast again, this truck is definitely a different animal. I have to turn down the current limiter for sure, might even go down in pinion to a 13 tooth to soften the initial hit. The center diff definitely does its job. the belt was slipping a little , might tighten up a notch, but I think that's because I'm running on the street too.
Does everyone run the shocks on the bottoms on the outer holes or inner? If I moved the shocks inward in the rear that should help chassis slap I'm thinking. Just blasting up n down the street is crazy, my truck is straight up beastly. wayyy too much power for dirt LOL. it takes off like a bat outta hell. :batman: I threw the yellows on the rear and the truck doesn't squat as much or bottom out but Id like to go up in spring rate some more to see how it reacts. right now I cant wait for Sat to come to throw down some laps. |
The bigger part of the hole is probably for the rebound side for the oil to rush thru quicker and the smaller part of the hole is probably for the compression side.
Be interesting to see a comparison between these and the rcshox ones. |

Jeff i set your truck up a certain way for a certain reason, your making changes without even trying it the way it was. It is not going to chassis slap on anything, Bench testing means nothing. Your going to end up with a messed up setup! what did you pay me for??? It is setup identically to my truck and drove just like my truck with the exception of electronics. I realize its your truck but you should get a foundation before you make changes. |
