I am still running the stock 2 slipper pad setup, obviously getting mad amounts of slip and keep glazing the pads...
So what is better for the truck the center diff from RC Shox or running the clutch basket?
At the moment, I run on High-Med bite indoor track - really tight layout..

The thing to remember about springs is they are a simple device - they are a piece of wire of a measurable length, measurable thickness, and measurable temper. None of that changes when you wind it into a coil.

Someone got there first Dan....lol. I have seen these in action for street duty (bashing), but Im not sure they would work on the track to be honest.

Does anyone know of a good option to the stock o rings on the outdrives? I think I read a couple of months back where someone was using something other than the stock ones with good luck.
Weight. 540 vs 550 can motors.
I am currently running a 550 can motor in my SC10. I find that my truck has plenty power and such. But I was talking with someone recently about weight characteristics of a 540 can motor and how much 'snappier' that it feels for the short bursts on the double and triple jumps.
So, for those that have experience or comments on this matter, please chime in. What do you prefer now, 540 or 550? And why?

Mounting solution for fan on CC 1410 4pole
Thought I would share this. With the outside temps going up, I was getting more concerned about the issue with not being able to mount the motor fan when running the CC 1410 3800kv 4pole in the SC10 4x4.
I am a fan of using an underbody.....it just keeps everything clean and tight. With a bit of extra lexan trimmed to fit and zip ties for easy access and ability to change if needed, I have used the under body to square up and mount the fan.
I trimmed any plastic from he fan that is unneeded. I'm sure this isn't as good as having the fan flush to the motor, but with the tops of the windows now cut out I should be pushing some decent air past the motor.
Just for cool factor, I also hooked this up to an on/off module from RC Lights and can choose to run the fan or not on the fly using the AUX channel via my Sektrum tx.
Hopefully you can see it ok here;

SO the question is, Garodisks or Center diff? I would give both a shot. The garodisks make the stock slipper work as it should.
I run on a similar style track, I use the garodisks, they work great. but I'd like to give the center diff a try as well...

so I think I'm getting 'brownout's' with my setup. I would be running just fine and then all of a sudden, truck would shut off and/or would have steering and no throttle and/or throttle/esc would come on/off. the rx8 was giving an indication of low/no transmitter signal (all led's blinking). very weird.
It's weird cause it's an intermittent problem. Not sure if it is a combination of the pro4,rx8 and savox servo drawing too much amps at the same time or if it possibly is another problem like my transmitter not having enough volts/charge?? Randy Pike said maybe my transmitter is frequency hopping?? He also said to throw a cap on, so fingers crossed.
I have a spectrum cap that I'm going to throw in the receiver to see if it fixes the problem.
