get the torque, I'm using radiopost green which is a mix of torque and speed and I like it, it'll be better on hv, I ran a speed servo in my first 4x4 sct and it was good enough but I like the mix better of both

Mike, where are you at on springs? I'm happy with my front but feel the HB grey in the rear is too much. Just ordered Tekno orange for the rear to try.

I did too but they were not available yet when I ordered the kit a few weeks ago, announced, but available. Oh well, next tear down the diff case will go in.
Thanx for the info, if the orange that's on it's way is still too much I'll drop down to the green in the rear.
I built it with the Tekno 8x1.3 but I happen to have the stock pistons laying around to try out as well

I have had one of the 4 Tekno vehicles I run get the binding on top of the steering post. Pulling the front off and then putting it back on as originally done in the manual (tightening screws a bit at a time, instead of in just once place) seemed to fix it. I think I developed it after trying to cheat and only pull part of the front off while rebuilding something (I think it was the hinge pin when I added that in after the fact?).
As for the arms, I've had to ream or break in mine. I just used a long screw as I didn't have a reamer, though added the 2 buck reamer from hobbyking to my most recent purchase from there. Side note: I LOVED that the extra strong arms I got for my EB48 build had come pre-reamed (this was before the .2 release, so I got them in a separate package).
As for wheels, I still like the stock SCTE Losi wheels. I've deformed the AKA's a bit, cracked around the hub of some others. I recently tried the F11's and like them a lot too.
Lastly, regarding the motors as folks have been talking about it. I've been running 16t with an RX8 Gen2 and HobbyWing 4700, 65% current limit, no boost/turbo/timing/drag/push. The ESC will thermal without the fan, but with the fan comes off around 130 and the motor comes off around 135-145 depending on ambient and how much I push it that day. It'll also come off about the same temp after 10 minutes as it does from 5 minutes. This is both indoor smaller track with more wheel spin and an outdoor high grip track with more hard braking.
Here's an example of the outdoor track, I'm the yellow truck and I wasn't squeezing it full at the start of the straight so as to still have some tire by the end of the main, but you can see that speed is not an issue with those electronics settings and gearing (please pardon the first lap or so while I got used to the SC again from 2wd buggy):

Time for an aluminum steering top plate and rear hubs. Anything in the works guys?

Just out of curiosity, would I have any interest from people if I parted out a couple brand new tekno kits? First would be my sct410, then maybe a eb48.2

Just a couple of random questions... Which pistons seem to be the best for the truck now? I know I've seen it but can't remember..
Also, an indoor off road carpet track just opened near me. I told myself I wouldn't race carpet but it's closer than any other track in my area. Does anyone have any recommendations on a set-up and especially tires to run?
Thanks in advance!
