Seen a few NIB ones on ebay as well too for that price.

Probably could get a few of the smaller online shops to match that price too.

i just bought a brand new sc10 4x4 factory team kit truck for $299 on ebay. i am so excited to get it and build it.

I ordered new cva bones some days ago, and only just now realized.. the FT manual lists both front and rear CVAs as 91040, while the non-FT manual lists 91040 as front and 91041 as rear. What is the difference between the two?

OK the Reedy Shorty packs that I bought are 94mm long and 47mm wide each. That means that they will be 94mm x 98mm in the tray. Saddle packs are 69.5mm x 47mm which results in 69.5mm x 98mm. This means that I can mount them with the short side (long side of the hardcase) across the chassis and use the stock battery strap. I wouldn't need to FT battery brace. I would have to mount the ESC where the receiver box is and the reciever can go under the strap on the slipper side. That is my plan and I hope to provide pics in July when I get to this. I would love to see some pics of peoples installations.

Secondarily the Reedy Shorty packs are 202gms each (404gm together) when my stick packs are over 300gms. The Reedy Saddle packs are 298gms. That means that I would be adding 100gms to the weight of the vehicle. I think this is great for managing front/rear balance. I plan to get this truck to 50/50 f/r weight if possible.

So do the RPM arms actually resist warping anymore than the stock ones? My left front one is bent almost 10 degrees.

For your shorty setup, what are you using to brace the batteries, between the ESC and batteries?

can use metric instead for mounting the C-tower




Can't assume everyone has 4 screws or lock nuts, metric or standard ...


only benefit to use standard thread buttons is
no need to drill the holes on C-tower


also
think the orange lock nut looks eye candy as well

Did forget one thing though ....

need 2 #31286

heres the lipo with the cracked case :





the cells look good.

I've been running mine since february and only today flipped them around cause they started showing signs of bending.

Catching up and reading about this mod. Does everyone still like it? What exactly does this improve?

i did this not to long ago. i felt it made the rear of the truck grip better in the corners.

Less chassis roll , more stable in sweeper turn ....

Thanks guys. Y'all keeping this mod? If so I will order parts today.
