Indoor
 
Just finally got to run this thing indoors I been only running it on large outdoor tracks and all I can say is this truck can turn on a dime more so than my sc10 ever did and I didn't even change a thing but shock springs front and back I can't wait to really tune it for indoors. This truck more than exceeded my expectations.

Same thing last weekend with 2 SC10 4x4's. One quit after the first of 3 qualifiers and went home, didn't think he broke anything so don't know what happened. I like to think we went home with his tail between his legs :) Can't wait to get this thing into a real race on a larger track!

I did ok in 2wd was first time I ran it in about 2 years ended up winning the B and finishing last in the A. Not bad for a 17.5 in an open class.

It's so hard for me to switch from this beast to a dinky little stocker 2wd :) back to back.

You should probably try going to a few bigger races. I know when i go to dallas i always get put in my place.:smile: Running with fast guys will always make you a better driver. Racing without a challenge is no fun.:sneaky:

Correct me if I'm wrong but I only see 1 flaw on the first page which is the inner camber link screw, yes I see the first page has a lot of optional upgrades but I'm asking if there are FLAWS, as in are people having problems with any of the stock parts in the kit

Get an aluminum servo horn and aluminum wheel hexes. Done. Kit is bulletproof after that.

If you're a fan of huge air, flat landing, or landing lots of jumps sideways, get the aluminum hinge pin holders for when you eventually break the stock composite (1 of the 4 is provided AL out of the box). It'll likely take you a while to break those though, so especially if you're at a place that has parts, just wait until you break them (if you do) and then pick up the AL to replace.

As for what you'll likely want next...springs to tune with.
If you're on high bite, look for things in the tekno yellow range on the front and tekno orange range on the back.
If you're on more common medium traction tracks, green front, pink rear seems to be popular.
The soft stuff included seems to be fairly popular for very low traction.

Expect to play with it to match your track based on setup choice and desired feel. I personally like the stiffer feel everywhere except for extremely low traction, so I'm generally running something close to Tekno yellow all around. IF you end up with a nose dive issue due to short lip high altitude kick up jumps, then you'll probably want both the stiffer spring setup and higher weight oil or pistons with more pack (like the 8x1.3s), but if you don't have that problem or super high traction, the stock 10x1.2s work well.

I've literally broke out the toe bushing pieces before the actual hinge pin holders broke. I seriously 'seriously' suggest forgetting the AL ones unless you want bling.

The happenstance of you breaking one is borderline abuse. :o

+1 . . . Sean, when are you going to install the black composite spur gear to complete your bling? I put mine in last week, and it's a lot better looking than that flesh colored gear!

Spot on. We need to put something like this on the first page!!

I wouldn't go that far , I broke the rear front pin holder running on a pretty tame 1/8th scale track.

All it takes is a bad cartwheel at high speed ....

Very well put and worded. Kudos to you sir

What type of surface and level of traction are you running on?
Also-what is your gearing/motor/esc setup?

The track is smooth, high bite, hard packed clay. My electronics are Tekin RX-8, Tekin Pro-4 4600, Stock Spur with 16t pinion.

I just bought a full set of the composite holders for < $10 for a back up and figured I would go Al if I ever broke one.

New rear diff case with 5x13 bearings for the pinion. http://www.teknorc.com/tekno5/wp-con.../TKR5016Bs.jpg

Is this easily broken or just a nice spare ?
