What would be the BB spring to use on v2. I mean the most common rate or are the rates about the same as the ft springs

Tower Hobbies just dropped the FT to $136.99. I guess the new truck is almost here. I just installed blue springs front and rear and they seem to feel great doing the balance test. Find center balance point and compress the suspension to watch the shock reaction. I had gold front and green, but the front was too bouncy.

No real point to this post.. Just venting, I think?

Bought an SC10 second hand recently on here.. claimed to have been only used a few times.

I've had it running for all of a few days of the last 3.5 weeks.

* Slipper pads were glazed. Found not to have been anywhere near tight enough.
* Main motor bearing (novak 8.5t) seized within a few packs
* ESC caught fire (Novak Kinetic) - Running 2s packs with 17/84 gearing after a few packs (literally 2 minutes into the next pack after waiting 14 days for a replacement bearing it went up in flames)
* Noticed washers on rear A arms put on incorrectly
* Finally had car running with a new ESC. Only lasted 30 seconds at the track before it felt like it was binding up. Thought maybe ball diff had gone cactus. Took apart the transmission to find one outdrive bearing ruined and the other very rough. Ball diff feels rough. Spring meant for ball diff adjustment completely missing. Lucky I already have a re-built kit here.

I guess it's not really fair to blame this on the car, but if it wasn't for the $$ I've put into RPM brace + F&R bumpers, wheels, tyres, flo tek body, outerwears, sway bars, F&R spring kits and so forth I'd be almost ready to sell it off and grab a Blitz. My son has one of those and it goes beyond my expectations. :P

Not the exact experience I had, but, not far off either. I'll not buy used again unless I know the individual and the car!! Lesson learned. (some how my used RC had a bent "titanium turnbuckle". How does titanium bend?!

I have bent lunsford punishers before. But they have a life time warranty. I had them for 8 years and lunsford replaced them with no receipt. AE's are even thinner and I have seen the bend and break.
