So far the ball diff is the single best thing I've put on the truck. It is crazy how much it changed the handling for the better. Not that it was bad before.

Try VRC Pro instead. Before I picked up VRC Pro, my lap times were often out by as much as 40%....some laps were 30 seconds (on a big track) and some were 50.... since running VRC Pro, my real-world lap times are now within 2 seconds, and I'm getting really good at moving out of other drivers way so that they can crash into the next truck, then I just pass them both. :sneaky:

And is the front tierod on the outer hole or inner hole?

I'm not going to rebuild my shocks yet because I can't get 30wt anywhere.

If you have 20 and 40 you can mix them with equal volumes to make 30wt.

start off with 3-2
tie rod is on the outside
you dont need 30wt, 25/20

Haha SWEEEEET! Hopefully it has a long straight for that 4600 to stretch its legs lol.

The 4600 is awesome. When you open her up, there is no chance of anyone passing you.

bohdi 01-13-2012 06:43 PM

I guess I am luckier than you two. Haven't broke one servo saver and mine was one from the first batch shipped in bulk.

I don't want 20. My track is extremely blown out by the 8th guys. 20 is just too little, Dual stage or not. I have to give up some handling in order to not SMACK everywhere. (believe me, forward momentum or not) this is bad.


Got my Pro 4 4000kv. (and a box of goodies, totally worth posting a pic in abit)

[QUOTEI also wanna know how the tekin pro4 is compared with the 1410 4-pole regarding torque and speed[/QUOTE]

I have not driven an SC10 4x4 with the Tekin Pro4 4K or 4600 as of yet. I also have not driven a setup with the Castle 1410.
I have driven the Losi SCTE with both Pro4 motors though.
The 4600 in the heavier Losi on a 1/10th scale outdoor track is just crazy fast. My buddy has to use current limiting to tame this thing down on an RX8 controller. With the Pro4 4000 in the Losi SCTE he uses timing. It is at least as fast as the 4600 with timing and the temps are fine.

For me, bigger is not always better. In the lighter SC10 4x4 I am opting for the 4K version of the Pro4. I prefer to run sensored and be able to adjust the timing curve so this was the deciding factor for me over the Castlee 1410. Regardless, I am sure the Castle is a great motor and certainly good bang for the buck.
