Great, Thanks

They will technically "fit", but you will be about a half inch too wide due to the different offset and you might need to bore out the hole for the axle. If you trim the body enough and just use them for practice there's nothing stopping you from using your current 4wd slash wheels. Just don't expect anyone to let you race with them.

You need to buy the diff oil you want to use, none in the kit. Atleast none
in the kits I've seen here.

jimmy are you racing at hobbytown on sunday? if so if i get my kit done ill bring it if i have questions. cant wait to pick the sc10 up from hobbytown.

any recommendations on a pinion size for a lrp x125.5 540can? on my jammin i ran a 11 tooth with the stock spur and never overheated so im hoping as this truck is lighter i wont over heat. i also have a 6.5 i want to test in this truck as well.

Awesome Job Craig!!! Glad this thread formatting has caught on!! This will be a huge help for everyone looking to get the truck. ;)

Thanks again!
:tire:

Hope to get my Sc4x4 today .....:nod::deathstar

What is the stock tire diameter size in mm?

So I shouldn't use a 4.5t motor? Do I need to get a 8.5t motor?

Not sure if I will be at HT Sunday. We have an off road race Saturday at Hemet. If we are there definitely come by and we can talk SC. :)

I'm not sure about a 5.5 540. The lowest turn we have had "0" problems with is 7.5.

1. thx for the heads up, i'll definitely look in inside

2. some have said the Team Associated DS1015 servo wire isn't not long enough to reach the radio box and some have said it is

go based on the Kv of the motor. If I recall correctly novaks 4.5 is a 5000Kv motor stock, if you get one that has the 14mm rotor option, it drops down to 3850Kv .

For those looking for pinion recommendations, you may find using the following calculator useful especially if you already have a vehicle and know what speeds are good at your track.

You can then backtrack based on the speeds you find to determine what pinion gear range to start with.

So for example out here for me the 35mph - 40mph range works well. As I am going to be running a Novak Ballistic 550 4.5 with the 14mm rotor which is 3850kv. puts me in a range of about 16T - 19T 32p pinions with the 62T stock spur.


I do have question, for those using the DS1015 servo, from the pics I have seen of the vehicle, can you guys elaborate as to why it won't reach without an extension the receiver? does the location of the servo have you going around various parts?

Just my experience with 4x4 SC's we ran 6.5 540 and they ran really hot and lacked enough torque. We jumped up to an 8.5 and had good success. We eventually went to a 7.5 and shortly after installed a 13mm rotor and found a great combination. We have always run the Tekin RS Pro. Though I must say that with 550's the Tekin ran a bit hot.

I can't wait to get to work after school :D
I hould have my sc10 4x4 sitting for me.

Ok, great thanks
