I told a couple of guy at the track last year that some off name brand stuff just dont work nice with some. i put my futaba stuff in his car ran it for it day no problem then he got one the next week i think. so some rx are not very good as they say. but yes castle does have a bec issue on some off the models but i think that was there smaller stuff. never ran them cause there un-sensor

This is good to know. I am really looking forward to getting this up and running. The local track is pretty tight but I am hoping to get good enough there to venture to some ROAR races. I wish there was a ROAR track in NH.

I have heard good things about these batteries as well, hoping to order a couple before spring. Are they hard case or soft?

They are hard packs .

When you say lighter, what have you done to make it lighter. Because I'll be moving to all shorties eventually. It would be nice if they could all be 4200mah.

I know the mod call for moving the servo down on to the chassie. To do this the buy the sc10 ft or the avids servor mounts. They then drill a hole in the chassie to screw the mounts. Now you gonna have to get the 4-40 screws cause those mounts dont take your 3mm. Then the take off whatever they can like belts cover and stuff like that. I dont recommended taking the covers off unless you got a nice clean indoor track. The cut there bumbers downs. Take off the side braces And mud flaps

For you guys that are lightening the truck-

Has anyone tried to lighten the wheels? If so, what was the outcome?

Well my SC10 4x4 FT kit came in and is assembled for the most part. All I have left is some wire shortening but all the running gear is in place and ready. I am hoping to get all the wiring and finish off the build by Saturday night. I am taking a break from it tonight as I did most of it the last 2 nights. I will have to do all the turnbuckle adjustments, bumpers, and paint the body. Very solid kit and relatively easy to build. I am hoping to get it on the track Sunday. I also need to get the used 2wd running which just needs a servo screw and I am putting in a new receiver to match the 4WD. Ill update with how it goes. :)

Much smarter than what I did...That's for sure. I wanted to race a day and a half later so I built it through the night. By the time I finished everything it was 24hrs later and I had only 3 hours of sleep. Mind you that 3hrs helped a lot..hahah. Kit is sick and don't let other's you should have went with something different. Btw if you do have trouble with your belt falling off just tighten it more.

looking forward to hearing how it goes.

Take video if you can.

I just drilled and installed my saddle holder. now I have to wait till may to use it :(

Does anyone know of some other 13mm springs? I modified the arms and shock towers to push the shocks out closer to the tires...
I have it close but need softer springs.
Currently Whites with 25/27 oil is still too stiff.
The mod is good, just need softer springs.

Does anyone know where I can get a stronger spur gear, possibly metal.

What pitch are you using currently, the kit comes with 48p and a 32p. You can look at getting a mod spur gear(1/8th scale). But you shouldn't need a metal one. Make sure your gear mesh is set properly.

Cain 02-25-2014 12:49 PM

good question on what pitch. the 48p one is definitely not robust enough for high torque motor usage in my opinion if your gear mesh is at all off.

Nothing horribly constructive to add here.. but I'm finally getting the bug to race 4x4 short course again so I figured I'd put my FT together (been sitting - new in box for about a year now) and I stumble upon this gem...

Looks like I got an unfinished tensioner base :D
