The DOA were caused by bad Deans plugs. I know this sounds dumb but the truth after we started seeing the packs come back we did some checking and some kind of film was covering the connector not allowing current to flow.
The puffed one I can't say what happened with it.
As far as the long wait yes after the 4s pack was released the demand was alot higher than expected and we ran out of inventory and had to wait for more to arrive. I hope our service depart took care of you when we did get more inventory.

Again sorry for the problems.

I truly appreciate the response. That was much much much more than I got from Customer support. (no sarcasm, thank you)

The temps are actually good, motor is actually still cool since the pro4's can run up to 180 and be safe, esc a little high but still ok...... I recommended the gearing because I remember him stating what tracks he may run at (OCRC,WCRC) and for WCRC I ran an 12/62 with my 4600kv motor and it was perfect........

Well I'll be damned my truck was set up and dialed tonight.

I'm a very happy camper right now

ESC hottest point i could find : 120

Motor at its hottest point : 150

Lipo : 80

Here is my question, is this acceptable/where i need to be? or should i play with the gearing some and if so which direction should i be going? Im pretty sure temps are going to change at the track but as a quick feeler this is what i got.

Also i did notice it was clicking somewhat loudly when turning and on power. Similar to what my 2wd sc10 did until shimmed the diff. Is this what is needed here also or are there other things i should check first?

Thanks!

The noise could be clicker or belt skipping. Grass and street is way more traction than the track. Your temps seem gine to me. Have a 12t handy just in case

Drive it first and check temps, you should be correct where your at. You will run cooler on dirt than on grass. Your esc temp will probably come down and your motor temp is cool for 10 min.

Takes 5 min to change pinion so you can change at the track if needed but I don't think you will.

I do believe so, looks to have 4 clips on the front a 3 on the rear. I checked the a arm to output clearance and it has plenty. also noticed it has rpm a arms

It will be the cva contacting the inside wall of the outdrive. Just take a peak at that to make sure, I needed 5 & 4 if I gave it a he-man squeeze like the pressure that it would see landing on one corner.

ahh gotcha.. with it as compressed as i could with my hands there still seems to be a 8th to a 16th of an inch clearance

ride height question...
 
I've been checking out different setup sheets & noticed most of them say their ride height is 23mm, I can't seem to get lower than 26-27mm...


I need help please? thanks in advance...Jeff
