They do weigh less, but I would rather spend 40 bucks on something else. Like Mantis' new center diff.

The bolts are lighter, but you don't want to take weight off the truck, you need to add more weight. I don't know about everyone else, the Losi trucks can push an SC10 4x4 out out the way very easily. Spend the money on Mantis new center diff, Coyote's chassis brace, Exotek chassis, or something that will make the truck run better.

+1. Well said. And nobody sees your blinging FT bolts except when your truck is sitting in the pits on your stand with the lid off. I guess for some if it looks good it must be fast.

I keep reading refrencese about getting a new center diff but would the Associated Factory Team Version 2 Slipper Hubs be a good and cheaper option, or we could be talking aboout a diffrent thing.

You do know that these adjustments are ride height sensitive? Camber links change angle with ride height...................

Default Motors?

Do you guys prefer the 550s or 540 4 poles? I am currently running the Novak 550 5.5 HV and seems to have plenty on power. Just wondering if I am missing out on something as a lot of guys are running the Tekin pro4s and castle 1410 3800.

The 4p motors have way more power , not necessarily the
best motor though .

Your motor is just enough , if you need more ?

Dail in some boost ,
been using quite a bit of the boost with the same motor ...

Thanks, so I take it the 550 motors are all around better for our trucks? I am running my Novak 5.5 with the mmp. Should I dial in boost with the mmp if needed? Are many using this esc?

Yes EVERYONE has had wobbly outdrives. What most people did was add 1-2 shims in the diff to get rid of some of the wobble. Make sure though when you add the shims, the outdrives arent to tight or binding.
