Aside from that, I wouldn't be able to offer any help :P I did order the Tekno hexes with my kit though...
Ugh. I prob just lost at least $70 :eek: on this by not checking Tower first. :cry: Ah well, I was able to get a few odds n ends spares though, and it doesn't appear Tower has any in stock or if so are harder to find. Speaking of spares...anyone know anywhere that has arms in stock? Might not be needed, but I'd really like to get a set just to be safe. :) |

Ohms Law The lower the resistance the higher the discharge. A high resistance battery is like hooking up a garden hose up to a fire hydrant and a low resistance battery is like hooking the fire hose up to the fire hydrant. Essentially the power will be there when you need it on low IR batteries. Low IR tend to last longer, because they will handle more abuse in charging and discharging. How to tell the IR of battery? You need an IR meter, some newer chargers come with them built in now so you can check the status of your packs (FMA Power Labs 8). EG.. if your packs are 1.2 and 1.4 IR when you first start charging, then a month later you see the same pack at 1.3 and 2.7, you will know you have a bad cell in cell 2. 10% is the normal variation on cell IR, anything over 10% and there is more than likely a problem. |
Almost done with my build. But regarding the hexes, there is nothing wrong with the stock plastic hexes. It just seemed a shame not having some nice aluminum hexes on this sweet truck. I tried the AE SC10 4x4 hexes and they are 2.5mm too thick, the axle pin slot is deeper which causes a bind when the wheel is tightened down unless you shave a lot of material from the back side. I found that the STRC Losi SCTE hexes are almost the same thickness as the stockers and the pin is almost the same as well. The only issue is the axle hole on the STRC hexes are 5mm and the Tekno SCT410 uses a 6mm axle. I happened to have a 6mm drill and just drilled out the hexes. They fit pretty good, but I think there was a bit too much slop so I added a few 6mm spacers between the hex and the bearing to properly shim the hex.

You do have to drill the axle hole out (from 5mm to 6mm). |
Im debating on selling my scte to buy this kit. so previous scte owners is it really worth getting?

Parma Speedflow or FTW?
Speedflow has TONS of airflow cutouts, probably the most configurable body I have seen yet. Parma http://www.parmapse.com/Images/1237_New/1237Web.jpg FTW http://www.ftwrc.com/assets/images/d...k2_800x600.jpg |
Yo RCPHREak, is that a 4000kv hobbywing? If so, What pinion you running?

I set my steering up. Seems to work well but there is a huge difference in my EPA's left to right. Is that normal?

I keep that for the mains, no shoe goo. Chop top look is also a plus for me. |

Btw parma speedflow works well but is a little too fragile for my tastes. After a night of the cleanest driving i've ever done, i somehow manged to crack 3 fenders, and the whole front part of the body. |

MC Ions are the tire of choice at SDRC. Ran them at OCRC and they were great too.
After normal 5 minute race 5300 packs still have 30% left. So no worry about running too low. |
New lid...
