Nice right up, defiantly makes me want one of those motors too! Sounds like the motor was made for the sct410.

If it has this much power we might want to start stocking up on drive train parts lol...

This...a lot of american companies design and build there stuff in america out of foreign and domestic parts because sometimes another country can do things a lot cheaper because of regulations, labor laws n whatnot. What was the last roar race won by hobby wing?

Awesome write up on the pro4 HD....now I really can't wait.

A question on chassis braces... I scrolled thru some pages las night and saw where some were running just Front & Center Braces and left the rear off and then some mentioned running Front & Rear.....

I guess what are some opinions on this....
For Indoors I run high bite clay track and for outdoors typically 8th scale tracks that are hard packed loamy

For those running on loose conditions, what diff settings have you been finding you like?

This weekend is rebuild time for next weekends race, track conditions favor super soft compound tires in grid iron or similar tread. Track is big and is ran on by 1/8 scales so figure will get bumpy at times.

vid of the indoor facility from a race few years ago to get the general idea:

+ YouTube Video
ERROR: If you can see this, then YouTube is down or you don't have Flash installed.


Right now I am debating between diff settings of 7-7-5 or 5-5-3 to start with.
Wow. That indoor track is huge. Where is that?

That's what Tekin said, that motor is targeting those running conversation trucks.

Fortunately the Tekno drive line can take much more than the pro4 hd, it is from the 1/8 buggy so even the HD will be a walk in the park

+1 . I wish we had something like that in Fargo, heck, I wish we had some facility period in Fargo lol.

Last time I ran there a few years ago it was funny to watch my 1/10 2wd buggy just disappear on some of the track sections.

I am hoping to run 1/8 buggy with the EB48 as well, hopefully don't embarrass myself ... but, somebody has to come in last .

I just love at the 57sec mark you just see a buggy going flying by the camera all out of shape in the foreground, hahaha
