dont need to smoke them like the stock ones

What he's saying is to start them out with the nut flush and go from there. And stop when they are starting to slip 4' while accelerating from a stand still......

thanks the nut is way in. ill try that out now and go from there.

No bones. Fought for a lap, led for a couple seconds, and then was sent to last when third gave me the Losi tap. Came back to third only to have 4th cut a corner and tag me mid race. I'm not proud of my driving after that.

Sorry to hear it Chris....sounds like you were having a great day too! Nice to know you were getting it done though! Better luck next time. I hate hitting the track and getting that lil Love Tap from the Losi driver who cant take a turn without using me as a berm!

Sal

Did you record that race? Sounds like it was a good one!

I recorded every single main, but it will take a day or two to split them up, edit, and upload.

That track is dialed! Looks freaking huge too!

I read your entire post. Your premise was wrong; the rest of it didn't matter that much. I was nice the first time - now, I'm going to be direct.

Show me where I can't do it. The ROAR rules are clear - they say I can. If I misread them, or Rick did, cite where.

Did anyone ever say anything to the contrary?

What is the difference in weight between the RC8 platform, the Xray platform, and the SCTE Losi platform? Since you brought it up, I figure you have the answer, so I'm asking the question.

I respectfully disagree. The only truck even close to Lutz at Fear Farm was the Xray conversion. I can't see the Xray being that much different from the AE.

Yay for you! Why should we care?

Yay for you. Why should we care?


I appreciate your concern; thank you for your response.

I suggest you not build one if you don't think it's something that will work for you.

I watched a vid of a converted buggy to sct on a tight technical carpet track. The truck did fine, cornered great, had plenty of speed. It's a win. This may be the way to go for 1/8 scale layout tracks.

Hope that wasn't "Apple"...he finished 3rd, gonna have to give him a hard time if he Losi'd you, he's usually pretty good about not wrecking someone just to make a pass...

my nexts hop up is brace. love this truck

They work fine on 2S. Especially with a little CF help, they work just fine.

Bcrazy/WC: You've seen what you've seen and I respect that but you saw Rc8 conversions done wrong or something then. Of course if you're refering to indoor tight tracks where our sc10 4x4 is designed for...

Those trucks destroy the competition just like that Xray is/was. And unless you're indoors in a tight track, they'll do the same to a sc10 4x4 or losi, or durango. I don't even know why indoor performance vs the sc10 4x4 is an argument. Of course the real 1/10 will perform there. It's What they designed it for. Everyone seems to ignore the fact that outdoor large tracks are the issue here. I won't deny there are loopholes in it's performance from some of the amazing win's we've seen with it. But that defense is flawed. All our little club races and the skill of the drivers we'll all gladly throw around means junk. The few and far between wins are alarming, especially now that we've seen alot of pros give up and don't even run it. If the b4 was like this? What do you think they'd do?
A buddy picked up a Losi SCTE the other day, out of the box stock and was destroying our indoor track. It took me 'alot' of time/love/money to get it to look even close to that. (mind you, i've let much more capable people drive my truck as well to scale a balance between "practice" and "upgrades" )

Edit: I'm not throwing out opinion'ation for the sake of argument. I've spent 800$ additional on this bastard to compete. I think some of us are happy with "My car is winning so I'll have milky eyes for everything else going on" and that's a choice. But a real look at the world that 'matters' and you see the AE Pro 4 world is a barren wasteland right now. I drive on a large tore up 1/10 track. My proof is there. I didn't give up like so many others. But i'm not ignorant about it. I know who has the better truck. And it's not me. By the seat of my pants am I staying out front while the others hunt me... waiting for one mistake.

And I'm pretty sure you're wrong Craig, no offense. It has to be a box'd sell 1/10 SC. Not a conversion. (for ROAR)

"Show me where I can't do it. The ROAR rules are clear - they say I can. If I misread them, or Rick did, cite where."

I never stated that it wasn't legal if it fit in the box but I have seen tracks and or Short Course events that specifically state no 1/8 conversions

"What is the difference in weight between the RC8 platform, the Xray platform, and the SCTE Losi platform? Since you brought it up, I figure you have the answer, so I'm asking the question."

I don't know anything about the Xray platform other than its a conversion and while it may fit in the box, some tracks and points series do not allow 1/8 conversions the truck must be sold and promoted at a 1/10 SC truck. (not my rules just rules I've read on race and point series fliers) The Losi is based off of the 810 / 10t and they are smaller than the Losi 8 that resembles the RC8.2 the most. The Losi SCTE, 810, and 10T are smaller much like the Jammin and Durango.

"I respectfully disagree. The only truck even close to Lutz at Fear Farm was the Xray conversion. I can't see the Xray being that much different from the AE."

Nice to know there are those who can make it work. I have not seen anyone use a 2s setup in a 1/8 scale.

"Yay for you! Why should we care?"

I'm not asking you to Just letting you know the thought has crossed my mind. I still may build one but keep it nitro just because I think it would be cool. I'm not worried if you care or not

"Yay for you. Why should we care?"

Again, not asking you to


"I appreciate your concern; thank you for your response.

Just like you, I have the right to post on this thread and I will continue to post my opinions. You can read them or scroll past them its up to you

Guys lets just stick to the topic of this thread, which is the sc10 4x4 not a conversion of this or that......................

Anyone else run their FT version sc10 yet?
