indoor clay track, long 100ft + straight. blue groove in most areas, with very little to zero loam.

sc4x 5.5 w/ rx8

i am running 15/62. before i geared up, i was having all sorts of problems with no low end torque. i was super slow, and i had my timing maxed out. now with the new gearing, i can actually take some timing off the esc. i found out that even though timing says 100 on the rx8 software, it only means 100% of 30 degrees timing. right now i am running 65 timing, and i think i am going to 50 on my timing.

i am running the stock setup on the slipper, except i have a ht pad on the inside, and a regular pad on the outside. i have my slipper tightened down about 2-3 turns past the 3.5m mark.

i'd be interested to hear what other people are running gearing wise on there sc4x 550 5.5...how do you all like the 60 spur? i was suggested to try 13/60 by an avid local fast guy, but i have yet to try it.

i think i can honestly say i am finally getting there with my truck. i am coming from 2+ years driving a sc10 2wd, and this is my first 4wd. can i really say what's best? no. but imo, i am happy with the way this truck drives. i think the whole slipper deal is bs, and i hope ae gets there sh*t together.

my friend runs the 8ight shocks on his truck and he swears by them. maybe i am lucky, but i am having good luck with my stock shocks.

like all ae loyalists, i will buy the ft when it arrives.
