I run on a large outdoor track, running the CC 3800 with this,
http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s..._1_8_1_5_.html
Gearing 25-93, very fast, runs super cool, can run down any top end motor ESC combo, and $40.00!
There big but they fit, even with saddle packs, I also run one in my 1/8, awesome ESC and easy to program with the program box.

Quick Question?
i had a real bad experience today at the track with my sons sc10 4x4...
i decided to upgrade his rtr to a lrp tc spec esc & x-12L 550 5.5 turn combo ($260 from amain). an associated guy on the phone told me to run a 13T pinion with the stock rtr spur gear so thats what i got.
anyway it seemed like it was running great for about 20 minutes until we realized the power cutting a bit from a dead stop. after we pulled it in i could tell the motor was smoking hot! check the temp and it was 270 degrees!!!!
i checked if my pinion was to tight on my spur gear and it wasn't. i waited for it to cool down and put a 14t pinion on . it stuttered on starts again and i had my son run it around our very small indoor track 2 laps brought it back in and the temp was already up to 220 degrees.
speed controlled never got hot.
i'll call associated tomorrow to see if they can help me out to as why this is happening. does anyone know what the problem might be? this is definitely not what you want to happen after you install a $260 part in your rc...

What pitch gears are you running? I have see 2 RTR kits at my local track and both were 48pitch. I'm not sure, but 14/93 wouldn't be too good a combo. 14/62 in 32 pitch is ballpark.

I am testing tomorrow the reverse idler gear and blue fronts in the rear.

- No heat issues I am seeing
- No weird BEC issues
- tons of setup options, especially with that programmer card.
- Fits the inline saddle setup under the belt tunnel easily, room to spare.
Very happy with it.
Speaking of speed passion stuff, has anyone tried there 550 sized motors in the SC10 4x4?
heard they also have a 540 4 pole in the works ...

Are you using the Ballistic 550 with the 14mm rotor or for the sc104x4 only using the stock rotor? I heard the losi guys needed the 14mm for heat issues, wasn't sure if this was being seen with the sc10 4x4.
The rear blues do feel really good on the rear of the truck I have to say for the runs I took with vehicle.
excited to hear how it goes for you.
From what I found, the Speed Passion GT2.0 Pro ESC for the money ($125 new + shipping):

Hoosier,
You may want to look at the Tenshock sc411 motors. I was running the CC1410 but needed more after putting the center diff in. The 4600kv is a controllable monster of a motor. Runs cool and smooth. I haven't had to add timing to have all the power needed.

ignore Coyote he is like that.
go tekin rx8/4600 and thank me later.
you'll need to upgrade your slipper though. I recommend the center diff from rcshox.
Research www.rcshox.com and look at his products, they all work good. Also read thru the pages here we have a lot of good info to help you out.. There's a search feature within this thread that you can use to find info out.
I think we have covered just about everything on this truck.
Once we figure out the rear spring situation , this truck will be even better.
