I had the same problem with my Tekin 5.5. It wasn't the motor, it was the slipper (which in turn, heated up the motor). Replaced with RCShox garodiscs and problem was gone. You could accomplish similar results with Mac's Clutch Basket. 5.5T 550s have too much torque for the AE slipper pads to handle.

As Far as these Bushings<Bearing modification to the Diffs:

I have things marked up and am heading to the shop in the morning to do the cutting. Hopefully I can get some bearings asap and start Testing.

I will put it through the paces. And show some video proof.

Mantis, If this works out, You can work on some prettier or better engineered version. I'll try to fill the void until then.

So do you have two bearings on eachbside? Thanks

Yeah Racing just popped these out. Our AE FT ones are 'perfectly' fine but someone will want them. They're pretty.

Those look nice, but I'll stick to my AE aluminum hexes.

Anyone have extra springs laying around? Also looking for the front/rear sway bar set.

I added 5oz of lead weight throughout my chassis to get a good balance.
I really like the way it is running at the moment and was wondering what you all are seeing at the scales.

I weighed my sc10 4x4 in race trim (body, battery, wheels, amb, etc) and came in at 6.15lbs or 2789g

Switched to saddles and all I can say is wow! It is a huge difference between stick packs and saddles. Did anyone else gain even more steering when switching? I also gained traction. But I also noticed if I am not perfectly straight coming out of a corner if I get on the throttle to soon my truck still wants to spin out. Any tips? Will thicker front diff fluid help with that promblem?

FYI
NEW JConcepts pre-mounts on +3mm Hazard wheels for our SC10 4x4.

hey i get my truck to day in the mail later time to read up from the best.

Is anyone running Proline wheels on there truck? Which ones have the correct offset?

Proline Protrac rims have the same offset as the stock wheels. Some had issues with wobbly rims when the truck first came out, but I didn't have any issues with them.

Ok cool.
