Remember.. 1st run! 40% is probably still too much brake. I basically couldnt do anything but barely tap them.
Blues felt really good in front. Truck felt like it was in the track instead of riding on it.
I think my biggest current limiter is my finger. Truck had way more power than I could I use. My throttle profile was the curve below linear. I could blow it out into a donut anytime anywhere even on the straights ,but I think throttle control is the way to deal with it.
I started with subcultures, good on this track,,, went to bow fighter's,, no good at all, then some enduro's.. good but not great.. Finally settled on the bowties and they let me mover the rear end around under control and stick the nose where I wanted it.

I don't like modulating with my finger but that is key.
I run on outdoor clay and either Subcultures or Holeshots are the key, just depends how much water is on the track.

Track was damp last night, nice and tacky!.. I think if it were drier more of a pin would be a better choice.
I definitely agree about the throttle profile. I'm going to profile 1 next to see how it acts. I still get guilty of nerves and grab the gas like smashing a can once in a while. A milder profile would give the brain a lil less to think about.. Definitely a good thing for me

ok i run a mmp and a tekin sc4x 5.5 i like how it jumps and runs except the straights i get passed it clocks in a 34 mph and every time i get passed iv went from a 15 tooth pinon to a 18 tooth pinon but still it gained like 1mph if that should i go down to get more rpm or what i came from nitro so i dont know much about electric if any one has some ideas let me know thanx
What is the exact setup you have on the ESC?

Tip for removing x-ring spacer in shocks
For those that have went back into there shocks and found it a little tough to remove the spacer between the x-rings inside the seal cartridge, I have a little tip that might help. Use the anodized pin that passes through lower shock eyelet and control arm to pass through spacer and grab top side of it to remove. This seemed to work well after struggling to find something to pull spacer out of cartridge due to its slight interference fit. Try it out next time you service your shocks.

the new VTS engages smoother and and has more adjustability than any other multiplate slipper out there. the matching diameters of surfaces, hub indexed to hub instead of shaft make for smoother engagement.
My experience with a hd pad for front is: the thighter the slipper the harder the front engages. Run it to loose and I got on power oversteer. The VTS works more like a dry haldex diff.
FWIW the Avid wheels are the bomb diggity. Avid/holeshots are almost 10gms lighter per wheel than any other wheel combo!
Talk about acceleration difference try HB megabites then go to avid/holeshots and its like running a hotter motor.

Any of you guys running 1/10 scale ESCs? Any issues with heat? How's the balance with saddles?
I'm planning a Tekin Pro4 and LRP SXX or Speed Passion GT Pro2.0 setup. A couple of local racers are running similar combos, and I'm trying to keep the weight and chassis balance in check.

There are others that use this combo too and like it as well. To me it feels pretty balanced and I have no heat issues.
