Thanks alot! It means alot coming from you! I have to admit I am a little disappointed I couldn't overcome my nerves in the mains, but overall I was so pumped to be able to run how I did for my first National level race. I will say one thing, everyone seemed pretty shocked when I told them I was running a 2-pole 550 4.5t motor. Anymore if I even mention 2 pole motors in 4x4 people laugh and say they aren't enough and are slow. lol.

David Jenson a local young up and commer runs for Thunder power and uses a 2 pole 550 motor and that thing is ballisitc. It can be done. The 4 pole stuff has more bottom and if you run 540 you can save some weight but there is nothing to say 550 2 pole can't get it done for sure.
I have run the exact same motor/esc combination as MonsterSummit, it certainly was ballistic. I kept frying escs, though.
In the meantime, I run Casper's exact setup now while my esc is being repaired. Many of us, like Casper, like the Tekin 4600 better than the 4300HD for this light of a truck. Giving the 4600, like Casper, some timing--maybe 25 to 35--really helps the top end. I am actually faster with the 4600 over the 4300 as it is more driveable.

Hey Ryan/Casper or anyone else whose recently purchased a TLR SCTE Pre-cut body.
Has TLR fixed the dimples for the mounting holes? I remember them being off slightly for the 2.0 with the kit body. Which were off, the front or the back? Also, how high are your front and rear body posts?
Thanks.

Body posts. I can't remember that off the top of my head. I think Ryans is a hole lower in the front then mine. We basically run the body as low as we can with out tire rub. I think it is 1 hole showing in the front and no holes in the rear but may be off.

You can drill where the dimples are marked but will need to remove the rear body mount spacers and put them in the front to move the whole body back a little. It works fine. I think I prefer to just mark the body and drill instead though.

I recommend this:
http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...ost-Marker-Set
If you run a lot if short course this is invaluable. Also useful for touring cars, crawlers etc.
I use this instead of dimples - especially on the SCTE as the body mounts bend and typically are not in the same location as the dimples. Typically the rear mounts are a few mm forward.

How does the SCTE 2.0 compare to the SCTE with the pro4mance kit handling wise?
