Hey WC while I was running the SC10 4x4 even against some of the AE drivers with regular team setups I was extremely competitive with my center diff. As far as Im concerned this is the setup AE should have used or at least released as an option. Ive even had BK check it out and like what he saw.
The only reason I put mine on the shelf was because I was sick at the money I had to put into it so I could stay at the level the other guys with Losi and Durengo trucks were at. Mine is fast and I never found a good use for the lame 3 pad slipper in it, other than pulling it out and using it in my SC10 and you see where that went now that the .2 of that is out!
