Don't know about the SCTE ends but I'll tell you what does work well. I've posted this before, but things can get lost with over 4,000 posts on this thread. TRA3643 fit perfectly. They come with the tie rods and captured ends already assembled. You will also need four M3x12 screws to attach them. They do not limit travel in either direction and have been working for me and dozens of my customers for a couple months now. These are camber links for the Rustler and Stampede, so you know they can take a beating!

Do yourself a favor and buy a gear diff. Losi part #LOSA2954. They are bulletproof, consistent, require no break-in, smooth as silk and leak very little (mine doesn't leak at all). (recommend 5k-10k oil) I service mine once a year whether it needs it or not.
Complete diff cost less than a good Bfast rebuild kit. Most people say that a ball diff performs better but 98% of people won't notice the difference.

I was not impressed with the stock slipper also, went to the Triad and it was night and day different, WAY better now with the triad!

Looking for a good outdoor setup. Ran the stock setup yesterday and the truck just didnt feel "in" the track. On power was loose with a 17.5. I had to be easy on power. Also I couldnt seem to keep the front end down on the jumps. I typically backside all the jumps but I kept floating the nose yesterday even after adding 1.25oz. if lead in front of the body posts..
Very flustrated with the truck after yesterdays performance. Normally a contender for the win but I barley made the a-main and was about a lap and half off. 40 sec lap times.. SO I was way off.
Also track was loosely packed clay. My 22 buggy had great traction but the 22 SCT was JUNK!
Thanks,

Here are a lot of setups you can try out to get you closer to something that may work for you and your track conditions. 2wd SC will not handle anything like a 2wd buggy EVER.

Metal gears would add a TON of rotating mass to expect the motor to pull, added weight is ok since that is chassis weight but added mass in the drivetrain would make it accelerate much slower, esp in stock classes. Motor heat would be an issue also!

I don't have a 22 gear diff but I did weight the XXX ball and the XXX gear diff and they were VERY close to the same weight. You may be surprised on the weight difference between the two. My issue with 2wd gear diffs is they heat up and change there settings through the run. Ball diffs are much more consistant.

why isn't the detailed Associated VTS slipper modification not included in the first page?

So one day with the car running the kit setup and the car is junk?

3rd race on my 22sct. one guy I am friends with has his sc10 dialed, and in the 1st qualifier we started too close, we were hurting each other. my truck was driving really well. I got a bad start in the main though, started 7th of 11, and finished there.
one thing i did do, was put a pack through my truck, then I brought it in and reset my shocks. by reset, I fully compressed the shock (on the truck) and opened up the vent screw. a little fluid and air came out. once I got everything sealed up, i put it on the track, and it was noticeable difference! felt a lot better.
I was a little distracted though, my 22T has been a little troublesome. but, Ill get that one figured out soon enough.

Very interesting. I've never heard that before. Gear diffs have been my choice because I don't like to spend a ton of time wrenching when I can practice more. How many sessions do you get our of your ball diffs prior to them requiring a rebuild? If I could get them to stay smooth for a long time, I could easily switch back. Thanks

I get a few race days out of a ball diff. 2wd SC is one of the hardest classes on the transmission as the cars are relatively heavy and large tires. A ball diff will be more work then a gear diff for sure but there is a performance advantage to it so there is a trade off.

TLR sells a great little rebuild kit for servicing diffs.
