I had no trouble clearing it with 3/4 throttle. Most of the time i never went past half throttle. I am using a turnigy trackstar 1900Kv sensored motor. Was skeptical at first becuase it was only $55, but i have to say i'm more than impressed with it's performance. Super smooth power, motor was just warm after a 10 min run, and it's plenty quick. I ran an 18t pinion and it felt like just the right amount of power. Was actually overclearing a bunch of sections.
I liked the buggy a lot as well. Felt very nimble and i was doing some whips in the air (love that). Don't know if it's my bad driving transitioning from shortcourse, but it felt kind of twitchy to what i'm used to. No problem though, just add some steering expo and it'll be all good. Overall i'm very happy with the buggy, just need to get used to driving something that doesn't handle like a brick (sct410 isn't a brick, just the driving style of the class in general). Also i might add it is very durable, took a few tumbles, lawndarts, and nosedives, and nothing broke

. Good job tekno.
ps i was box stock minus pink springs front and red springs rear. Track was VERY loose and loamy!
Cool, thanks for the input. Your track conditions sound similar to mine. So do you think an 18t pinion is a good place to start?
