So jealous; keep us updated on the build.

i got the truck in jan. my esc and motor is here. i do like the ft kit need to let some of my cars go to get one

I for one, am happy you now have a complete truck. Once you get the motor in and trimmed out, you have no idea how much fun you'll have with it!

Find a race track even!

iam 3 hours for a good one or more i think i have to go to portland to race.

You must be running a lot of load. Whats your gearing? What are your temps?

Gear up.

If you are only gonna bash why waste your money? I woulda bought a rtr and called it a day a long time ago.

My opinion means absolutely nothing though.

i hade a slash 4x4 it was ok. i like kits and set them up. its a hobby that way i know my cars and how to fixs them.

Just wanted all the SC10 fans out there know that the new DE Racing wide offset wheels for the SC10 RS and 4x4 are now available at www.amainhobbies.com and www.deracing.net. These wheels feature an improved +3mm offset per side to make the truck wider and more stable while still maintaining a ROAR legal width for 2wd and 4wd.

These are alot like the popular JC hazard only with DE Racing style and made in USA quality.

I run a Savox 1258tg servo with the STRC aluminum bellcrank steering setup and I've been running it darn near locked down with no issues.

Well i just got my RTR version. now just running it for a few packs with a new battery ive noticed a few things. 1) the the plasic hexes seem to be rubbing aginst the wheel hub and a little amount of plasic is melting. I dont know what is wrong. when i take the hexes and pins off the CVA Bone is moving quite a bit more. 2) It seems to me that the motor runs really hot now digging into it a bit more the slipper spring seemed like it was tighened way too tight. now i am just running on asphalt with the stock tires. not a lot of grip.

So my questions are does anyone know what i can do about the hexes. would aluminum hexes be better? and has anyone noticed the spring being all the way tight? any help would be very greatly appreciated.

Thanks! I've used DE wheels a lot in the past and they were great.

Meh, I paid $30 for 2600 15C packs.... to me, regardless of "quality", $30 for an RC battery is cheap.

I paid $79 for 6000mah 2S hard case packs.

That's pretty average for a quality battery IMO.

I just wanted to share some of my findings about the new V2 stuff I was testing for RCShox. The new pistons are great. The lower piston being a little thicker helps keep a good fit under compression and you can run a little thinker oil with them. Consistency was improved over all. I also have been running the V2 center diff. This is the neatest part I have run since MTK’s clutch basket. The diff really improved my lap times at PRCR. PRCR is a medium to high bite tight high speed track. My main concern was not having as much rear drive as the clutch basket can give the truck to have the power out of the tight corners. After a couple of practice days testing and tuning I race last night for the first time. My lap times in the main were pretty quick over the same guys I battle it out with locally running Losi, Jammin, and Durango’s. My hero lap was .2 seconds faster than anyone’s time and my top 5 laps where .6 seconds faster than the next best racer.

What I have noticed over the slipper set up is:

• Better consistent corner entry and apex.
• Better off power and under braking.
• Better through rhythm sections of multiple jump sections and jump turn sections.
• Able to turn tight 180 turns consistently and do it quick in and out without sliding in and scrubbing speed.
• More self-correcting when landing a little out of shape or out of the race line.
• Able to drive more relaxed because I have confidence on the consistency of the truck.

What I was most impressed with was the same guys that are hard to catch and race with I drove off and left in the main. Everyone has a bad race day but I looked back through the last three weeks of results and no one ran the times I did last night. The major difference that I have changed is the V2 center diff.

Baby don't I know it.
(btw: Napoleon was average height. That term is very old and incorrect. Please, take a history class )

A curse huh? Having other's opinions flooding into my brain giving me multitudes more data for comparison instead of my own self centered one is a curse? So be it. It's really funny how so many talk about supporting their LHS but want to bash the LHS guys who are there for you when China isn't. I voice my knowledge to a customer, the experiences others have had, positive and negative and let them decide. If they ask for my actual opinion I give it. Even if that means I don't get a "sale". You could ask any one of my LHS friends or frequents. They have walked in thinking they were going to buy something and walked out without it. I could have talked it up and got money out of them. But I don't. Am I completely unapinionated? No, I rather am. I'm sure you're aware.

Not directed 'at' you, Miz.:

I just want to point out that "I" wouldn't touch them based on my opinion and others supporting it through my time spent in this business. I however then returned to the question and talked about C rating. I could have gone way off course and began another rant about China and it's quality, but I didn't.

I voiced my opinion just like any of the other chumps and then answered his question.

Agreed. I pay 60.00 for my Hobbypeople 35c 5000's and they (2 years later) take 5200mAh and continue their POWER ratio all through said mAh. I've used several other's Chinese crap, and notice immediately that they have more power in the first 2 minutes then die off to what feels like a ... shitty battery, omg!

Watch out... The LHS boogyman is on the prowl.
