Lol 2650kv in this truck would be pretty dumb in more ways than one with options like tekin pro4 or any 550. I bet the back end steps out constantly from the weight of the 2650. I have a 2650kv I run on 5s in a sc8e and it's drivetrain handles literally anything you throw at it for years. Such a beast! Good times!

Dumb huh, poor choice of words . Ive run a 550 in this before and it doesnt compare to this set up. No it doesnt set out. What 2650kv are you running in your sc8e?Who needs an sc8e when you have an sc10 4x4.

I got back into these while i was waiting for my car parts to show up . I need things to take up my free time when im not build my pro touring cars. This is what i have so far.Dominus (cause it was soooo cheap) its really a fun little truck. Merv with some custom mods(my least favorite) .Blitz . Mini8 . SC10 4x4 with the 1/8 stuff, SC10 4x4 race prepared and my RC10 gold pan A stamp with is a shelf queen. My SC10 4x4s are by far my favorite and most reliable. Thinking bout adding 1/5 scale to my garage. This hobby is still much cheaper than the turbos I just bought!

Thats the way the truck is, put sone blue lock tight on the screws and leave them kinda loose.

This is a video of my SC10 4x4 bashing original kit truck. Running Jconcepts choppers on Hazard wheels, jconcepts over tray, Castle 1410 3800kv on MMP, 3s 3400 amainhobbies ecopower lipo. Nothing special, was my track truck a couple weeks ago. The wheelies are hilarious at 40+ mph, it was pretty windy out there. If you like my videos subscribe. ...

Take everything off the right side of the motor plate. When you screw in from the left side ,watch the threads on the right When the threads are level with the motor plate then stop. That's it is should spin freely and it tight where it should be.

There's several guys here running the techno. I said why is hardcore AE guys
running the techno for when you should be running the AE. I was just
surprized I mean I wasnt expecting 9 techos to show up yesterday.
I asked them how much the techno costs,
and it's $400+ way above my price range. Im sticking
with the SC10 4wd. Im going the cheaper route, $250 truck and $170 Copperhead brushless system. Ive tied $1000 into an rc car before
and I dont feel I need to do that again.

Is anyone using the Viper Copperhead system in the SC10 4X4, a buddy of mine is on a limited budget and was asking me about it.

Me and many others have had similar experiences and I can attest to a common response in that once you get a pack or two run thru it, it will break in and spin much more freely. When I first built mine, I could just barely spin the diff in my hand, after some breakin period, it loosens up quite a bit
