I currently have an LRP X12 motor that never worked properly out of the box as well as my 6 SXX's that have been fixed/upgraded. Friggin

at that price for the LRP Flow, could have a Tekin RX8 instead, even the Gen2 version when it comes out.

kevin do you set the endpoints on your servo? if not you could be over stressing the servo, causing excessive amp draw from the bec.

... there around 75% L/R, i set em until servo is not making noise.
I think these 550 motors are just too much for ESC's. The Flow is the only one ive not had problems with so far.

that may be true, ive been running a 540 viper motor and esc. with no problem. also baan running a shorty. so far power is not a problem. one other question. what bullet plugs do you use, ive had problems in the past that the expanded metal ones over time wear out. so ive switched to the solid plugs with great results!

on another note when are you racing tacoma again? missed you at the showdown!

Ya those connectors are ok but with high loads they lack contenuity, an can overheat the battery. The solid plugs work wonders! there's a lot. Of them to choose from. A 3.5 is a lot of motor! I have a 5.5 that's been working great for myself. Sometime 4wd buggy will run on fridays but with the weather lookin the way it does I'm expecting a light turnout all weekend.

New to a SC10 4x4, bought one to run outdoors, long time racer B4.1/2, long time AE race. I like to modify things as well LOL.

Questions, shock upgrades? anyone try a 16 mm BB from an 1/8th scale RC8E.2 maybe?

Can you tell me all the best mods to do to one, i read into the Exotek chassis, seems pricey, but hey its racing. Then the slipper lockout plate they make. What else?

Some of the highlights of my truck so far.

Novak Ballistic 4.5, Flow & fan, Ds1015 servo, shorty's or saddles, JC Hi Flow body, Hazards with some blockades to start (loose outdoor, 1/8th scale track, dry usually).

Thanks for any suggestions.

Krom.

Dude !

Easy to do but think the servo ball stud height may be too low

I'm @ the track and will check it out on my ride.
