TLR TEN-SCTE 2.0 Kit Thread
#1531
It sucks that I have to postpone the build till tomorrow, hopefully my LHS has some screws similar but better, if not I'm going to head to home depot and pick up a few similar screws, I agree the screws that come in the kit for the diff. aren't good quality IMHO, I took my time w/ them and was very careful cause of reading others problems w/ them

I just like following this thread so not 100% sure what you should start with on this truck, I run the tekno, but also ran the durango last year, I would gear it a tooth higher then a similar 4600 or 4700 4 pole, then go from there. Depending what esc you have the motor responds well to boost timing.

Yup i could of told you that one ! Hope you have a drill and a bit to get the strip one out .
Best thing to do is get the HPI screws the M2 ones i forgot the part number . But i used some tonight on my diffs and there much better omg big too ! You will still need to pretread the HD diff holes of course still.

I use HPI Z449 as screws for the diff housings since the 1.0 and never had a problem again with diff screws!
Good luck with the build! Still waiting on mine...

Ryan, If the horizon guys are looking for feedback, this customer says drop the whole hcp deal, I'm not liking it. I was at OCRC tonight and saw guys with finished 2.0's but I have to wait because I want to support the track and buy from them. Doesn't make me feel all warm and fuzzy about Horizon.

I found some similar screws to fit the diff. housing and guess what, same thing they stripped, the female screw holes for the diff. housing are way too tight, there's no way to get the factory screws in there w/out any trouble, I'm not saying it's a bad kit but this is one of the flaws and hopefully after I fix the situation there's no more, after paying over 500$ out the door I didn't expect to have to postpone my build

I hope you're using a 1/16" and not a 1.5mm. They're close but the 1.5mm will strip it out.

Anyone put somthing on the bottom of the chassis to protect it from scratches? I'm thinking some sort of tape.

You'll be good In the 14-16 range depending on if you run a lil timing or not.As you add the timing you go down on your pinion obviously

Also, I am not happy with the counter sinks on the chassis. The heads of the screws are not flush with the chassis, the heads stick out 1 mm, i do not know if this a a way to better protect the chassis, but the heads of the flat screw will wear away.
