I just picked up a used sc10 4x4 and will be installing a new Xerun 2.1 120a with either a 5.5 (540) tekin or a 1410 castle motor.

Would you guys recommend 32 pitch for indoor clay or is the 48 pitch ok ? With the 1410 at least

Also what spares are common to keep in your pit box.. I got to get a Amain order coming

Thanks everyone
I ran 48p with my 1410 and never stripped a spur. My slipper isn't locked down crazy tight and I run on dirt, not clay. 32p will be more bullet proof, but noisier.

I have a box full of spares that I've never gotten in to. These things are pretty darn bullet proof. I've replaced the clicker because the nut backed off through use and sheared the tips of the clicker teeth off. Accelerated fine, but would click under hard braking fully tightened down. I had a shock come apart, but that was my fault for not loctite'ing the piston screw. I broke a caster block but only because I was going flat out down the straight and some idiot decided to cut across the track to get to pit lane mid-race and I T-Boned him. All in all, the thing has been amazingly bulletproof.

That may change once the Tekin Pro4 4600 4 pole gets here from tower though
