I didnt remove the motor plate that i had made for the Idler gear and i think the motor moves under hard hits, totally my fault and i didnt bring an extra motor plate with me, the shop had none in stock.

FT garodisc go out for testing this week!!

Sweet, damn where do you find the time between racing, and developing all these great mods for rc's?????? Oh and by any chance when are the next batch of V2 center diff's going out, I guess I didn't make the first cut....

You cant imagine what i have to do on a daily basis!! two kids, wife works nights as a nurse and now RCShox is double time!!

All V2 difs will be out this week!

You're good with those scissors!

In general I think your right regarding the FT kit being the improvement over the first edition, but in this case you have to admit that AE got their Ideas from this thread.

Other than the standard bling, what did AE do in the FT that was not first created and tested by people on this thread?

Cherry goes to trcr daily i see him 5 times a week he is constantly modding and tweeking with his cars. he knows lots about almost everycar. also this thread isnt for ripping on other people, its about discussing the great sc10 4x4, setups for it, tips and asking questions.:ha:

He doesn't effin sleep LOL. I pm'd all times throughout the day and he gets back to me too. Dude's crazy LOL

Don't think you fully understand why some ppl are deterred.
One thing, is if a truck(like many of the others) comes "out of the gates" having faulty parts that are prematurely wearing and thus are eventually corrected after consumers start to make noise about the issues, that seem common in there trucks.
Another thing, is to have the original design of certain components completely redisigned based on consumers constant shortcomings during what Team Ae's R&D process should have seen coming. We basically did the R & D for this vehicle. In most cases with any other company, that is a mortal sin.
With team Ae and there relentless/unwaivering fan base, its accepted and forgotten.
Some have used (and will continue too, till the death) the excuse that the original Sc10 went through the same process b/f it became what it is now. They use this as an a example of how things change and get better after all the kinks are eventually worked out in the market.
There is a fundamental difference that debunks this comparison beteween sc10 2wd and 4wd. That is, that those common failures (arms, front bumpers and chassis breaking in pcs) encountered on the original 2wd were mostly part durability issues and hence running changes to make those failing parts stronger were made.
The Sc10 4wd, on the other hand has had many crucial components/parts re engineered (not made stronger like the 2wd's case).
I don't think team ae "stole" from anybody, as I agree, and would hope that they would have figured out these changes eventually imo. They did though, however, have us do THERE R & D, which they saw, tried and intelligently followed and appeased too.
Regardless, I could care less that they "copied" others ideas. Who doesn't do that in a highly competative industry, especially in one that has to do with racing :D? Rather, I am slightly miffed (and only slightly :lol:) that others did some crucial R&D on some crucial components for them.
I appreciate and still have my sc10 4wd for a reason. I see its upside and limitless potential!! Every truck has had and will continue to have there strong and weak points! I hope Ae doesn't have to give up or downgrade (like some have spewed) this platform b/c than I will be more miffed and "in Barney", or rather, Id be proper fuc#ed.

The V1 and V2 center diff was developed while he was sleeping.:lol::lol::lol: He woke up and wrote it down and went back to sleep. :cool:

Defiantly an RC designing machine. :ha:

I have dreams like that but then Katy Perry walks in and I forget what I was designing. :lol::lol::lol:
