And on the 1415 note. I love love love that motor. It's just time for a sensored for my racing. Even if I may be hesitant due to not really believing the Sensor is helping 'that' much in our Pro 4 Class.

There is a difference between motors (6.5 vs 7.5)Yes you can turn down your radio but now you are not using your motor to its peak performance.These motors have power bands and torque curves.

Do your homework more is not always better.

Drive train

How tight are the drive trains in your trucks? I am finishing the build on my truck and mine feels tight. I have loosened the transmission screws front and back, tightened them down and backed off 1/2 turn. It is not so tight that I can not turn it, it just seems tight.

If you run the Slash/ Blitz wheels which will widen your track width, it will help tighten the car up on loose surfaces but you may not be legal depending on which rules you ran.

So as long as they are 12mm or say they will fit losi sct? The front or rear wheels for slash or blitz won't fit correct?

I wouldn't get anything that's supposed to fit the SCT/E. The wheels for the losi have much less ribbing inside the wheel. Must be for clearance for the Losi parts.

The SC10 4x4 wheels have more ribbing to help keep the wheel true.

If it was me, I'd use the hazard Jconcepts wheels for the SC10 4x4, you'll gain a little width and have the ribbing in place.

If you really want to gain some width, run the slash fronts. A dude I race with runs slash front offset wheels. I measured the stock width, and then the slash fronts width. 30mm increase w/ the slash fronts!!!!

Too bad for him, he has no fenders on the truck, everyone thinks it lame to run the slash fronts, and I still beat him every week...... with the stock offset.......

To balance my truck in all 4 corners do I need 4 scales under each tire?

Or which is the best way to balance the truck?

If I had to put a number on it it would be below 2000 rpm, but really depends on motor type and wind.

I assume you are running an RS pro then?

I think that is why I caught my eye. Did not know anyone in the Northwest was running it yet. Working up a new look for the PNWS.

Also is the stock body good to race or should I pick another? What seems to be the most popular?
