Has anyone tried running the Rear in Underdrive instead of the front in Overdrive.

Im still fighting a setup for loose clay with med/high bite. wet to dry during the day.
i didnt like the underdrive in the rear or overdrive in the front. have you tried the saddle pack setup? since i did this the rear end seems more planted, after balancing and dding weight.

I didnt write down the weight but i can remember approximate weights.
FL600
FR600
RL720
RR720

The odd thing about this is that when attached strig to the bottom of the chassi via the screws that attch the bumper to the chassi, I was heavy on the motor side, so I added more weight to the rear off motor side.
I added
FL21grams
FR35grams
RL20grams
RR64grams
A total fo 4.375oz

Is anybody using the Castle Creations Mamba Max Pro/1415 combo? If so what are your thoughts? How do you have it geared?

I know someone running that in a different chassis, and even with the smallest gearing she's got, it's overkill for even a large 8th scale track.

1410 with a real ESC is more than enough.

Now...if you're bashing, gear that thing to the moon! It will take it and you'll hit highway speeds!

I think alot of trucks would be loose with that motor!

my packs are down the middle and im adding weight on the back of the packs. which would be the front of your packs. 1.5oz to be exact.

Kind of what I thought. Really waiting to see what Viper comes up with in their new Copperhead line. Thanks for the info.

Been reading the thread for the last couple nights Great Front page BTW

I just picked up a used sc10 4x4 and will be installing a new Xerun 2.1 120a with either a 5.5 (540) tekin or a 1410 castle motor.

Would you guys recommend 32 pitch for indoor clay or is the 48 pitch ok ? With the 1410 at least

Also what spares are common to keep in your pit box.. I got to get a Amain order coming



Thanks everyone
