Same body as the 2W Sc-10, not sure how thick , but its a durable shell ...

Kits tires look good for bashing on asphalt & base ball diamonds ...

What bother me most it that when i flat out accelerate the motor acts like it has a rev limiter on it and it wont go fast at all. When i accelerate smoothly it will hit a normal top speed. Iam using the VXL ESC out of a slash 4x4. If any one can give me some insight I would appreciate it.
Maybe not enough tension on the belt and it is slipping when you punch it. Just a thought. I don't know what kind of power the VXL puts out but perhaps you are pulling to much when you punch it with the Tekin 4.5

Only got the servo installed on mine last night before the wife cut the power to my workshop so I had to go to bed...

Savox 1267MG - Servo wire is way too short. Needs an extension.

Also, the stress relief rubber on the side of the servo (where the wire comes out) binds a bit on the servo mount.

I was thinking of trimming it...

Tension seems good but I will check it. Do you recommend the 13t pinion cuz I was under the impression that going up in the teeth would keep the engine cooler. Thanks a bunch bro!

Going up in the pinion makes it run faster putting more stress on it. Id say try the 13

Is anybody going to use a Speed Passion Esc/motor combo? Always wondered about quality and performance.

How does the compound feel compared to the SC10 2wd stuff? Had heard it was a better compound.

That's funny because I think my kit had 4 extras. Were they buttonheads?

Stock tires and foams are HEAVY!

Also the outer edge of the foam is notched out a bunch for the thick stock tire webbing... i would not recommend using it with other types of tires... or else the outer edge of your tire will have very little foam support.

Thanks for the info. Hmm, I'll mount them anyway, not bad having a set of tires for the kids to try out on or some carpet duty.

I don't understand why belt tension is considered a "setup" Seems like there should only be one correct tension and should not have much effect on car otherwise except a bit more friction to the front end.

Can someone elaborate on why there are different belt tension settings shown on the setup sheets?
