Right - am I the first Norwegian to chime in here? Think so... Anyway, here's my list of candy currently learning to fly around the globe:
Snatched one up yesterday at a well known US webshop with no preorder.
Can't wait to get started on the build. Just needs to pass this thing through customs first...
And of course this piece of art from Larry at KG is also on it's way:
- AE SC10 4x4
- Tekin RX8
- Tekin Redline SC4X 4.5T
- Savox SC-1258TG
- 32 pitch pinions - 12, 13 og 14.
- A few bits
- Preglued ProLine Calibers

So i got mine finished today!
I think there is an error in the manual. I had MASSIVE camber on the front, i had followed everything correctly, double checked, and triple checked with a mate.
The manual says on page 14 to put the ballstuds in the inner holes,
Then page 18 has the measurements of the camber and steering links.
This resulted in having massive camber, im guessing it was a mistake in the manual, it seems if you use the outer holes it will be a lot closer to having the correct camber?.
We ended up using a camber gauge and worked it out.
Secondly: Turnigy 5200 Hard Case Batteries dont fit too well at all, i know alot of people out here run those and will need new batteries for this car, they are too high and needed a screwdriver to remove them. The turnigy soft packs fit, but are a tight fit,even cut some off the rx tray but it didnt help with the wires. The soft packs dont fit with the turnigy label facing down, they just dont pop in, but work with the label facing up, then the wire is on the opposite side.
The reedy 1 cell 5200 packs fitted perfectly, like they were made for it.
Has no one else ran into this? Can anyone confirm if im right?

Yes. I had massive camber I'n front too. Same solution, but must be a misprint I'n manual.
Also, I set the clicker on, did anyone else try that? Just anxious to see if the sounds I'm hearing are right? Lol.
Also, does anyone have too much play I'n your rear cvd's. The way the bearing holds the pin, I had to shim and shim to get it to fit and not throw the cvd pins. Also having same trouble w 12 mm hex hubs falling off. Lost 1 pin already and haven't been off workbench...:-(. But well worth it if these are the only problems. Still LOVIN this thing.

Just about finished mine. Not a single problem and everything went together perfect. I wasn't missing anything. It definitely was a smooth and super easy build. Check your diffs. Mine were pretty much empty. Great job AE on a superb truck!!!!!!!

Thanks for confirming, maybe that should be posted in the first post.
Jang also noted it in his video, (linked to exact time he mentions it)

Hey AE. Can you confirm what is wrong in the manual?
Are the ballstuds in the wrong hole?
Or are the measurements swapped, between camber and steering, in the manual?

I have to say the hex hubs suck, they could atleast snap around the pin like other cars, i can see rpm or strc making some better ones for this in the future.

i didn't have a problem with sc10 2x4, and no torque involved. barley snug. tightened and backed of 1/2 a turn, doesn't matter, also doesn't explain the crunchy diffs. guess I'll have to fill the gaps with shoe goo or silicone sealer.

I would suspect it could be the aluminum spacers used on the top shaft and seems to be the problem that was encountered on my B4 top shaft. I used a stack of shims to make a spacer and it worked. It spins freely with the case fully tightened. The stock spacers can be a hair too long and doesn't allow the case to fully tighten and binds the bearings.

Based on what I've seen from people running that setup in the 2wd SC10's, the ESC is a basic sidewinder with a SC sticker, and they do get super hot. Haven't seen one melt down, but it runs a lot hotter than I'd like. Most people buy the setup, sell the sidewinder, and get an RS Pro or MMP

***edit, just noticed first page has this info. thanks***
What FDR should I gear for? I didn't see any recommendations for 540 motors.
I have a Novak 6.5 Lite and installed a 15T pinion to start. Haven't tried it but wanted to go on the safe side. It has the stock 93T spur.
15T a good choice or should I be trying for a different FDR?
Thanks

Well I found another goof up, while building the tranny, in the manual it says to slide the idler gear on with the skirt side away from the London side of the top shaft for both front and rear, however the AE tips video specifically says to pull the top shaft out a bit and install the idler gear skirt in, on the same side as the longer top shaft. So what way is it supposed to go?
I'm gonna toss it in the trash if I have to tear it back apart!

So, both the manual and the video are correct, the just built them in a slightly different way.

I got my truck today. I am going to use a tekin rs pro and tekin 5.5 with a jr z9100s please let me know if this is not the rite set up before install. I see alot of people using the 1410 motor and savox servo. would this be better than what I plan on using ? Thanks for the info. 

Since the RX8 is cheaper than the RS Pro I would use that. You'll have that little extra bit of confidence that you won't have any ESC problems.
