It will work. Watch temps as the truck is sort of heavy, but compared to the other 4x4s on the market, it is pretty light. A really fast kid at my local track uses the Version 2 SXX and a 4.5 turn X12 motor and does just fine racing against us with 4.5 turn 550 cans and eighth scale escs.
just a couple more questions, how is the MMP SCT combo, are they race legal? If so, how are they compare with the more race tuned setup from LRP, Tekin, etc...? What advantage or disadvantage the Castle system has over the other. I've been hearing so much talk about systems from Castle, just thought I throw it out there.

Can do a full pk. with esc temping around 100d and motor about 170d. Zero issues/glitches even with savox servos.

That's correct, I had the same ESC with tekin sc4x 4.5t motor. I've got a fan on the esc and run LRP works team capacitor-

If you are talking "ROAR 4X4 SCT Legal" (Newish designation on their Approved Brushless Motors chart) then no, they are not. The 1415 motor is 1:8th legal, and the 1410 is "modified" legal...
RC Pro Series will allow it, as 4x4 SCT is an Open class. Most local clubs will allow it as well. Heck, you could cram an 8th scale monster in there if you REALLY wanted to...There IS such thing as "too much" power.
Slightly more efficient, since the motor is unsensored...not as smooth, especially on the low end...cannot take advantage of some tuning options... Even the 1410 has more power than we can put down through 90% of our large 8th scale track.

If you're looking for good performance, lots of power, and relatively inexpensive, they are good. A friend of mine runs the MMP with a Novak 5.5T 550 and a savox high voltage servo. He had to use a stand-alone BEC for the servo because even at the 6V that the MMP can output, the current draw was causing major issues.
Just bear this in mind: Castle is focussed where 80% of the RC market is. Bashing. Where "More power is more better" and there are no rules to be worried about.
Clear the motor with your local track's race director for club racing, use it at RCPS events, but be advised that it will likely not pass tech at a ROAR sanctioned event.

LRP speed controls are VERY adjustable and easy to use.
I race them with my Tekin 10.5 2wd SC10 and my Tekin SCX 4.5 4wd SC10-4x4.
All I do is add the glitch-buster/capacitor in the receivers of both trucks and use JR high-torque digital servos.

Hey guy's I'm Tim. I just bought my SC10 4x4 tonight, so I thought I'd drop in here and say hi and read up on it a little bit. And while at my LHS I had a few questions that really couldn't be answered with a average answer. Sorry I know they might have been asked and answered prior, but I just to find out what diff oils would be good to use. They told me 65k in the front and 5k in the rear diff's, but it really doesn't sound right to me, with the huge difference between the two. I'll be racing on a mixture of a dirt/clay track and it's a little loose and running on carpet. Kinda looking for a weight I can run on both. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
