TLR TEN-SCTE 2.0 Kit Thread

I have had the luxury of trying one of the new HD motors and they provide some serious raw power. That comes with the weight though of the longer can. So, for your needs, you may want to try the pro4 4600 540 size and one of the 4300HD motors...but just my .02.

If you get your money for nuthin and your chicks for free than yes the New Tekin would be nice.A lot of us are running the HW XERUN 4000 kv 4-pole sensored for $85 dollars shipped from builtrc.com.Easily will run down the the 4600 pro -4 and stays cool!!!!COOL!!!!!!!P.S. I switched from the 4600 to this 4000,thats how I know..

You need to have some glue on the top and bottom of the piston to keep the "plug" in place.
Check out this great little article from Ryan.

Tires are critical for any setup. Truck balance is important.
What is normal traction like at your track? Is the track smooth or bumpy? If you are runny fuzzies I would assume smooth and at least med bite.
I would either stick with the kit setup for shocks (front 27.5 #3's, Rear 27.5 #4's) or try the 2 hole pistons again.
The kit setup works well and we ran that for a long time but the 2 hole setup gives improved pack characteristics for better landing and a little better truck stability.
The kit setup for front camber link will give a little better off power steering and a little less on power. We like the latest position in Ryan's setup posted on the first page as it kind of forces you to drive on power. We have found the rear end holds well still and since you are picking up the throttle faster it is lowering lap times. This change was a driving style change for both Ryan and I but the truck liked the setup.
I agree with this to a point. I agree everyone drives different and one setup is not perfect for everyone. With all that being said there never is a Magic end all say all setup that works everywhere and for everyone so as always we are here to help any individual help setup there truck for them and there track but the kit setup and the new dunford setup with 2 hole pistons we feel are great starting points and have been very sucessful in the hands of many drivers. The kit setup is basically where we were with the 1.0 truck with new towers and some other things we have been testing for a long time.

I am using the same setup Ryan had posted on page one of this thread. The only thing that I changed from his setup, is the ride height.
Casper: The track is a med size indoor track. It is hard packed clay/dirt mixed and it is kind of bumpy. I talked to people there yesterday and some say run soft and others said you have to have clays. Pretty much any small pin or bar type tire will work. I see you said the #3 pistons on the front with 27.5 oil. I was in a rush to get it done so after the plug fell out, I put the #3 with 30 oil in the rear.
I'm going to redo all four shock. I am going to put the pistons in acetone to clean them up and then start over. This time, no tooth picks and will use accelerator. Between that and putting clay Rattlers or IONs on, I should be good. I'll also look into the front camber link position, but that will be an "at the track change".
Thanks

That's how I've been running my SCTE v1.5 and it seems to work great.

What kind of battery tray is that? I made one out of an old b4.1 chassis kind of similar to yours.

It's just I see it to often that people "especially new drivers" are so worried that they need the latest and greatest setup or equipment. Sometimes it can make your driving even worse. Trust me I have fell victim to this also. Now I just always go with stock kit setup and learn to tune car to my driving/track.

Very light, works great, low center of gravity. Super convenient to remove the battery and it keeps the connectors nice and tidy.
