They are not doing so great here either. Most that have them here are either selling them off to get a Losi, or shelving it until next indoor season and running their Losi's outdoors since they bought both trucks. Most guys seemed to like them indoors better than the losi, but like the losi outdoors. Last weekend, the top AE was a pretty distant 5th.

They didn't seem to do awful at the OEOSS race. Then again, you're talking to the guy whose place in 2w mod SCT seems more impressive when discussed from the bottom than the top

Again, that was an indoor race . It was unfortunate my SCTE broke while in the lead Brandon took the win with the AE, but the kid could win with a toaster most days. We would've had a good battle for sure as we were nose to tail till I threw a driveshaft pin.


My 2wd outing was poor as well. Couldn't keep it together in quals, but managed a 7th overall in the mains.(still poor).

Round 2 should be fun.

can someone point me in the right direction to get in contact with customer support of associated ?

I really need an e-mail adress, picking up the phone and call them from the otherside of the world is to expensive for me.

I tried to e-mail them through the associated website but I have not gotten any reply

thanks in advance

Hi guys,

Firstly thanks to all those who has contributed to this thread, very valuable info here to assist with my build, Thanks!. I started my build last night and can confirm the obvious flaws like the empty diffs. I seem to have a problem that I need to get some help wit. one of the hd ballstuds part number 91049 came without a thread on it, first of all I thought I could get someone to tap a thread but after measuring it I discovered that its way to small already , measures 2.5mm and should be 3mm like the other has.

Is there an alternative that I could use from another brand?.
Does someone know if I could subtitue an alternative ball end stud and matching ballstud that fits onto the turnbuckle, I'm at work now and don't know what the diameter is of the turn buckle.

Just to mention I'm out in South Africa and our local supplier doesn't have the truck or parts here yet, I bought mine through Amain hobbies and just need to get going as it will take a full week if I had to order the parts to get here.

help please...

thanks

That really sucks, but you should get in touch with your local hobby shop, or the shop that sold you the truck to solve your problem.

Basically if you want to get in direct contact with any manufacturer, it needs to be done by phone. Email is too unreliable. Corporate email filters out almost everything.

How did you do tonight Chris...? Any new setup tips or things you are trying...?

Thanks,

Kevin

I will be once mine gets here in a day or so. I've read that they run nice an cool with the 550 motors.

Check that top AE was 3rd, but distant none the less. My lap times were not on par with yours and Webers. Still not bad for the 4th time out 1st on an outdoor track. I've been testing things all week, I'm anxious to get out this Sat.

Who said customer service sucks......
They have a perfect customer service and they are very friendly.
I have a gmail adress and they answered.

Tks AE and don t forget to send my sway bar that I have ordered......

Truck was DIALED all night last night. I ran emulsion shocks, as opposed to bladder shocks. I felt that it made the truck's suspension work better and let me drive the truck harder.

I also ran a Reedy Sonic 540 motor. I have been playing with the 540 setup for a couple days and finally got to run one of the new Reedy motors. Awesome power, low temps and great brakes. I'll be leaving that one in for a while!

What's your setup like nowadays Chris? We sure would like to know .

The only changes from the setup on the website, is emulsion shocks with 32.5/30 shock oil, and a 540 motor.

I have an Orion VDS-1409 in my 1:8 buggy and an Orion VDS-1308 in my SC10 4x4 (not finished the build). The 1409 has been great in the buggy so I'm very confident that the newer 1308 will be perfect for the SC10.
