I got the SC10 ones according the package. Put the Thicker ones on the back that matched the stock plastic ones.

Are you just saying that or do you run them? So no more grub screws in the hubs?

A guy at the track had some. They had less play than the AE ones. But they do not come with grub screws. Just better tolerances. Racers edge makes a set with grub screws. But they are A hub only. Which is fine if you race on a loose outdoor track. I put grub screws in my AE hubs and they are still junk. My t4 runs the plastic B44 hubs and I love those. so nice to no wobble. But I dont think a lot of people use zero deg A hubs on the sc10. That is why I didnt mention that. In fact, I think the exoteks are zero deg only. In any case, i would never recommend the AE hubs. I cant imagine anything could be worse.

Ok, thanks.

If anyone has experience with vertical ball stud hubs I would like to hear about them good or bad, exotec, racers edge, etc. Looking to pick up a set to try out.

currently running AE 0* with the screws.

do you like the 0 deg hubs? In all honesty. I used to run the Losi vertical stud hubs back when I owned a xxx buggy. The issue I had was snapping the studs off in the hub and struggling to get them out. Heck, I am snapping studs off in my ubrace and it is plastic. But that is all I can speculate on the long term. That is what I liked about the AE hubs. The top hub is replaceable. It just sucks that they are sloppy as hell.

I figured out my problem. I didn't push them on far enough. Pushed them on all the way and now there's no play.

I don't know what you are talking about, you ran the factory team aluminum hubs? I run them on both my t4.1 and sc10. They have zero slop on the hinge pin and bearings, so where is this slop you complain about?

Exotek products are very nice, I have several items from them and they were all perfect except one carbon piece that was cut slightly off. Hot racing and racers edge also have good quality aluminum parts. Just stay away from the integy ones, the almuinum is soft and they wear out fast.

Not sure if I'll be able to make that one. It's close to the AZ state championships race and between the 3 series, I'll be racing 8 out of 10 weeks at a series race. Tire cost gets a bit much. At least club races I don't care if I run worn tires or not.

I'll be at SRS KBRL tomorrow though.
