You are so funny. Did your parents buy you that tekno yet?

I had nine ounces strapped to mine when first started running, and I had the Novak 550 motor. Plenty of rip.

My current setup sc10 4x4:

I have been using the same Reedy 4000mAH shorty packs in my SC10 4x4 for a while. The benefits that I think are important are:

1) 8000mAH capacity. I am getting about 25min runtime
2) Weight in the right place. an additional 100gms over most saddle packs placed more forward that even the Exotek.
3) Current capability. With this pack you can deliver lots of current. I have puffed many 50C stick packs and with this set-up you get way more current capability.

I am using a Novak Ballistic 550 4.5t motor with the original 13mm rotor and have plenty of power to drive a 14t pinion on large 8th scale tracks. Now with the dual shorty I don't have to worry about batteries. My Novak Havoc ProSC hardly gets hot and my motor is running about 140s on a hot day.

I am also running the 8mm mod with 4mm of inner ball stud washers and this truck handles great now. I need to implement the chassis stiffening that BK is using. I am very curious on how that will perform.

Tekno who would buy a tekno when they already have a sc10 4x4 who would get rid of this truck......oh wait....

@tom What try of track conditions are you dealing with down their? I assume really loose.

great video

Yea but lets See that baby running in the track!

nice truck. how do you like the r10 with the pro4?

have had my truck for a year and love it. wouldn't sell it for anything else.

Jstall come on up to Trcr today ....

R10 pro 2-3s with the recent 4 pole firmware works killer and super smooth. Some how it seems better than the Rx8 in a much smaller lighter form factor. To use the program box with the pro4 you have to unplug the sensor wire from the motor or it won't boot. The boost feature at only 5deg timing at wot gives a couple mph more than the rx8 and better punch. So far I love it. If only the orion stuff were cheaper. Also I've had 5 Rx8 failures from impacts in 5 years so fingers crossed the r10 pro can hold up better. I ran my first pack with no fan, pro4 4000, 13t pinion, temps 140f esc with no fan, 140f motor on tight indoor. Plugged the fan in for my next pack and its so powerful temps were 78f but a drawback is it costs about 4min of run time on a 5200 60c reedy saddle pack. The fan really moves some air and sounds very loud. I was running 10% drag brake and it was really strong so I switched to 5%
That's my review for now.

Not to be a negative nancy, but many users here have done everything that BK is now using over the past two years.

Your boy George Cherry always poo-pooed the ideas, saying they were a bad idea because the Team Drivers already had it figured out, and what was needed was more practice.

Is it irony, shame, or just a case of DERP that he's quiet now? Because he did everything he could to quash any development anyone non team was trying to do, not because it was a bad idea, but because he needed a "Brand Name".

I wish somebody would give us a bottom shot of BKs chassis so we could see how/where he was taping the batteries in.

Gearge is probably right that we wouldn't need anything like in our area, tracks are pretty small and traction is already great with zero to little weight. I believe BK will probably only run the truck like that out doors. I added 30g to the front of mine just to check it out and so far feels good.

There's no possible way the fan can pull enough current to kill four minutes of run time. Also, your reduced run time + decreased temps can only mean one thing:

There's something wrong with your battery or your charger.

Start watching and taking notes on how many MHA the pack is taking on the charge cycle. When I was charging at 20 amps, the batteries would take 50% less charge and hit the lipo cutoff in the speed control. I thought my pack was rooked but I switched back to 8 amps and everything was fine again.

You realize that picture I posted with the dual shorties is of BK at the Shortcourse Showdown race this weekend - indoors at RC excitement in MA, right?
