I am using the Jconcepts Illuzion Hi-Flow and it fits perfectly fine. I also just ordered the FTW Diamonback body, so see how that goes here soon.

I should be picking up a 130T tomorrow I believe. It is standard size so should fit fine. It will be going in my new SCT410 build, so I probably won't get to those steps until next weekend, but I'll try to remember to throw it in the sideguard mount and hold that on the chassis for a pic for you.

Hypothetical question:
Is it possible that the SCT410 has out sold the SCTE 2.0 up until this point?
The SCT410 has been out a little longer, right? I know LOSI has way more distribution, brand name recognition, advertising (probably), etc. but retail is changing these days. People, especially hobbyiests, do a large portion of their buying based on what they read online. Forums like this have a HUGE influence on sales today.
We'll never know, but I still think it's interesting to think about. Then again, I'm a nerd.

So is current limiter the answer here, or punch control? Why would you limit overall power versus just limiting how strong it comes on? My hobbywing 4000Kv seems to have just enough power for my tastes, but i really don't see how current limiter would help my driving, versus punch control limiting my wheelspin. I also noticed my truck keeps shutting off at weird times during the race. I tried a new sensor wire, re-did all my solder joints, checked to be sure all my bullets were tight fitting, and made sure my receiver plugs were fitting right. It will just have no throttle for 10 seconds, but the steering works fine. I'm using good new smc race formula packs as well. I don't know what else to do.

Just a quick question? Has anyone new start running in your class. What radio and rx are you running. Last year I started running a new track during practice my truck seemed to run fine but as soon as the race started I would just loose throttle but still have steering swore it had to be my mmp. It ended up being someone in my class was running a low end radio and rx and it would make my spektrum radio freak out. Ended up buying a mt-4 that same day and all my troubles went away and didn't have to run the e-bec anymore.

I got mine a few weeks ago and the current limited to 35 and I did put the 19 pinion on for practice . I was bumping a ebuggy on our 175 ft. Straight and all I heard was WTF. it was great . The down side was my 6800 track power will only go 6min.with that pinion . Motor temp. 165. I now run a16pinion motor runs 140. You will love it.

A quick story about my current shock experience:
I am finding that I am having to run higher oils than what most are reporting. I am running on a smooth medium bite medium size indoor track with no real big jumps to mention. I figured the kyosho black pistons would be good for this application as they are recommended more for smooth higher bite tracks. They are the 1.3x8. The blacks are suppose to generate more pack than the whites. Anyways, I started at what most seem to be using for the whites--35f/30r. BTW-this is with the standard pink/green springs that most everyone seems to be running. On our outing yesterday it was evident that the truck was blowing through the stroke with little to zero pack and the truck was acting like it was on pogo sticks. I decided to up the fluids at the track to 40/35--this helped a bit. I'm going back today with 45/40 and hoping the dampening will be where it needs to be. If not I am prepared to go 50/45. I'm just not sure why I'm having to go this high when it seems that most are in the 30-40 range with the white pistons which supposedly dont generate the pack that the blacks do. One thing--I've built many RC's in the past with the lightest parts possible only to find drivability fall off the map. With this build I decided to stay on the heavier side as most everyone is reporting that this is definitely that way to go with the tekno. I haven't weighed the truck but am thinking I'm definitely on the heavier end of the spectrum (4300hd, 6500 carbon pro, 1.5oz put in dead servo space). Thoughts on this????

The first body I went with was the proline flotek tundra body. I liked the body but the mounting holes they tell you to use makes the front of the body push past the bumper about 1 1/4". I hate that. My next body I'm going to run is the jconcepts f250 & I'll mount the front closer to the bumper. After that body I'll try the losi body.
