It would be nice if AE came addressed these issues but the factory drivers are even looking "aftermarket" if you will. I run at West Coast R/C Raceway which also happens for Ryan Cav's local track too. And others there have said he runs option parts like chassis braces and clutch baskets (not Mac the knife's thou...boo) and has pin mods. AE is on that slow boat as all these mods have been talked about and done here on rctech for awhile now. Heck Mac has had the basket out since June i think. Don't miss out on these 3rd party options as I'm sure you'll podium place on your next race.

You can have that right now - run a 540 motor and a Yeah Racing ya-0180 fan.

T-Bone Racing that makes a rear bumper/skid plate kit for the the SC10 4x4. I don't know what the durability or performance is on it as I haven;t tried it but it looks pretty good.

They do have a prototype, but it works identically to the two other popular versions you can buy, and AE themselves have suggested one of those before.

Kody Numedahl and Ryan Cavalieri were both running Fast Lap Products Parts.

what is the differance between Mac the Knife clutch basket and the fast lap products one ?

why do the AE drivers prefer the fast lap products?

Anyone know if Ryan and Kody where running pinned at the Spektrum race?

Losi driver cutting the track because he missed using me for brakes in a tight corner and getting infringement of me is a normal occurance it my local track. I think nmdesertracer can attest to this, only 1 losi guy there runs a race the right way.

Functionally? Nothing. The MTK basket is the orginal, Billy at Fastlap is the knockoff.

Don't know.

I see that fast Lap products also has a High Bite Inner Front Slipper Hub. does that have to go with their High Torque Clutch Basket ?

+1

My guess is they are a friend of a friend.

You might be better served sending Billy at Fastlaps an email as you probably won't get too many replies helping you out with Fastlaps questions.
All I know is my Mac the Knife clutch basket I bought in June is still rocking, I made 4 chassis braces for under $15 and I pinned my own top shaft for free. All with the help from the guys here on rctech.

I do wanna go for Mac the Knife, as I understand he invented it. I just wanna know if the fast lap products have to go together

My thoughts are: when I ask this at fast laps, they will say yes, just to sell more products

Ryan was running the setup posted on AE's web page. Kody was running Ryan's setup with three changes:

Rear shocks all the way in at the top
2.0 swaybar rear/1.5 front
20T front gear.

Tires for Trackside were JConcepts barcodes in green.

Basket clutches were using Std. inner pad with HD pads in basket and outer with vented slipper plate.

Jason had Ryans setup with 20t and the aluminum chassis with no brace. With AKA ReBars it worked pretty good. I tried switching to the Barcodes and when pushed hard it did not work well. I think Ryans setup works with some torsional flex best.

For most drivers I think you will find the way Kody had his truck setup more forgiving and still super fast. It is what Jason will be switching to.

kghill , do you know if they used the pin ?

No, you don't have to run the fast laps basket to run the machined inner slipper plate. They are completely separate.
