Hey guys i just picked up a sct410 from someone and i had a tenshock motor sc411 4600 kicking around,any suggested gearing to start with for medium to large outdoor tracks all with long straights?

With a RX8 I've been running a 16t for large 1/8th scale outdoors. Haven't tried anything else, the 16t feels like the sweet spot with decent temps.

Thanks for the info on that evo guys. I'll adjust how I drive it today. Sounds like a lil tweaking in my throttle control in the air and I might like it. We'll see ;).......so use to that diamond back tho, haha

I'm going to be running an EVO body during my indoor season and a diamondback for the outdoor season. They compliment me way too well to ignore. But that's not to say I don't have a soft spot for my diamondback. That body is WRECKED to the point its a little embarassing showing up to a show with it being a tekno driver. Haha. But its soooooo good and I've been too lazy to replace it.

yea the heavier 4x4's are really rough on the bodies.

+1
So far out of the 10 SC bodies I've owned of the years (Associated, Pro-Line & JConcepts)
I find the JConcepts bodies to be the most durable.

Really like the thickness an durability of the JConcepts F250 body on my SCT410.
I wouldn't use the F250 body on my 2wd SC because I have a feeling it would transfer too much weight to the back of the truck and it would fly nose high.

hmm, wonder if a section on the first page about bodies and characteristics they will provide to the vehicle could be useful?

Could then look there and know that when I run outdoor offroad large tracks, bodies A, B, etc. are good, then indoor small track, bodies C,D etc.

Speaking of flying nose high I find my truck that is built with the stock setup is doing this. I'm going to test it during the next practice with the body off to see if that helps. Any other suggestions? Could the front be too soft? I know I am the rare case of a nose high jumper.

I guess your suspension could be rebounding too quickly and causing the nose to fly high.

I've had the nose up issue when my ride height was too high in the front.

Also I had that same issue when I did the battery mod and didn't adjust my ride height before I went out to test it on my backyard track.

I love their tools and I've been using them for years but I agree that their hex tips needs replacing every now and then. it feels like their replacement tips round out much quicker than before.:confused:

Any suggestions for a better alternative with 120mm long tips like the Hudy? I'm trying RDRP, so far so good but they're too short(60mm maybe?). The Serpent 120mm hex wrenches look interesting, they even look like Hudy's.

I sure wish I had a backyard track to test on! I test before I race at the track or if I can get there for a practice session. Thats so cool having a test spot in the back

Yes it sure is nice having 3 acres. But can only practice spring to fall since I live in Canada. two feet of snow on the track now but here's the current layout I have. 110x80

WOW :eek::eek:

You should check out Team EDS tools and possibly give them a try. I haven't used them much I just got them to go with my new build but so far they are great! They are priced quite well also

Good idea!!
