how much preload do you use on the servo savers new heavy duty spring.
is it the same as the stock spring 3.5 millimeters. Thanks |

hey guys, just asked a similar question on the EB48 thread but would you put a Savox 1256 or 1257 in your SCT410 or do I need to go buy a 1258? And can you explain why you chose one over the other?

The SMC's are like $5 more than the A-Spsc packs... no reason not to go with a better battery and support for the extra coin.
Danny @ SMC did resistance tests between a ec5 or deans or something and an inboard bullet. The bullet style connection had more resistance but I think that was attributed to the connection inside the pack and not the bullet vs. ec5 itself. The inboard connection requires a tab to come off the cells to the inboard tubes where the other direct solders the wires to the cells. I haven't changed because all my packs are bullet and changing on one pack means changing all of my packs. If you don't have any other 2 cell hard case packs, maybe the ec5 connector type (or deans or whatever) pack is the way to go... ask Danny in the SMC thread, he's a wealth of information. |

Are you referring to the bottom chassis
Attachment 1102872 the hole is counter sunk right next to the battery tray screw. either one can be removed without disturbing the other. Battery strap is from ST Racing for the Losi XXX SCT cut down. |
That would near double the difference in resistance. I'm good with bullets, was just mentioning that direct wires resistance will be slightly lower with direct wire if you don't have any packs and were buying a few to run the truck.

Ya, what they said!
Seriously when running 10min mains with a battery hog you'd be surprised how far you can milk a dead battery. A lot of times the LVC will be tripped just from a cell dipping down under load. Hence why I ruin batteries. These SPC batteries have been ran down to the point of not being able to move the car and are still kicking. |

Grimm, I've seen your truck run. LOL, no way you should loose any 4x4 SC drag races. That has to be one of the fastest 4x4 SC's I've seen down the straits. Rocket Ship!
To bad you didn't get the win, but I heard people back here talking about how good you drove last weekend. Looked pretty good in 1/8 Electric too. EB48 was really good, I completely gave away the win. I got tangled up with lap traffic and then stepped on my weiner. :lol: |

Tekno posted a while back that it's recommended 4 full turns out from fully tightened. I set mine to 6 turns out from full lock.

Alright guys, I got tired of referring to 3 different spring charts to compare different brands so I compiled all of them and sorted them by spring rate. Please feel free to pass this along.
It will also print nicely on a 8.5x11 piece of paper to keep in your track bag for quick reference while at the track. Also, if anyone wants any other springs added (I think I got most of the popular ones) please let me know and if you find any errors please let me know. http://www.rctech.net/forum/members/...ring-chart.jpg |
Can you add in AE and Serpent springs?

chart looks good. there are a few of us that run durango springs as well (they are very inexpensive).

6 sounds good 8 feels even better it's a pretty heavy duty spring....... probably should have left a stock spring in there |
