I don't have a 17mm conversion yet, but asked the wife for the M2C conversion for Christmas. I think it is worth a shot. Stripped two wheels at last Saturdays race.
If I get them for Christmas, I will post up what I think of them when I can.

Ordered one last night from Tower. My SCTE 1.0 is going up for sale. I'll be running on a mid sized indoor track. I was thinking about the 17mm conversion kits. Does anyone run these? Are the carbon shock towers worth it? I'm planning on picking up the aluminum inner pin holders already.

I also run all 4 hinge pin braces and CF shock towers. The CF towers are a little lighter and a bit more rigid. They stay or go back to position after nasty crashes that would bend the AL. Eventually after enough of that though, the CF will snap instead of just bend. I like them though.
As for 17m hex, M2C would be the way to go if you want to do this. However, just getting the normal Tekno Aluminum clamping hexes for the truck fix most all of the issues that a few folks have had with the included lightened cast hexes. The replacements would be TKR5571A.
Lastly, if you haven't already, get a Tekno AL servo horn to fit the spine count of your chosen servo. That's really the only required upgrade on the vehicle, as the composite ones don't hold up well.

Just curious but why the M2C instead of the Tekno hubs?

the 6040 is a bit light in the TQ requirements, IMHO....Most will say at the least 200oz. Personally I shoot for at least 300ox & .10 speed

Ok, so if a new servo is in my future, what is the popular option now a days.

The Tekno 17mm hex conversion is composite and doesn't hold up well.
The Other option is the 17mm hex conversion for the EB48SL, which holds up VERY well, but it makes the vehicle wider to match eBuggy specs so tires won't fit under an SC body very well, nor be legal width for an SC.
The M2C 17mm hex conversion is just a 17mm hex for the SC stub axles and doesn't change width, so is what you'd want to use with either of the 2 or so 17mm SC wheel options.

Savox 2274 (.08/347oz on HV)
Orion Vortex VDS2-HV 2607 (.07/361oz on HV)
Protek 130T (.08/355oz on HV)
TrackStar TS-900 (.09/258oz)
Anything over 200oz/in should work, though I always recommend at least 250oz/in for today's 4wd sc's, and I really suggest 300+ for durability and high traction turning power.

Shock build
Just finished my .3 build. Everything was great except for the life of me I can't get the vent shock build to have 10% rebound. Starts out ok but then you pump it a few times and it's got about 70% rebound. Any ideas?
Like it's sucking air. So what happens is I can't get the front ride height below 27mm, I'm shooting for 22, not even close. My Mugens build perfect everytime. I want to add I'm one of the old guys, been doing this for over 20 years, so this isn't my first rodeo.

Soft spring in the rear
i just finished building my sct410.3 and took it for a fast run around the block. the rear shocks seem really soft. do people typically change out the springs or just change to a heavier oil?
the fronts seem ok, maybe slightly stiff but i think overall ok if i strengthen the rears

Could someone tell me the width of the SCT410 with the EB48SL hubs?
