Finally got to go out and drive my new FT with the RX8 and the Pro4 4600.
What a blast! Venom 5000mah 20c pack lasted about 16.5 minutes.
I have a couple questions:
1. Temp got up to about 165 degrees with a 13t pinion while moving, 180 degrees when sitting, is this acceptable. When should I start getting worried?
2. I mounted the RX8 on the ESC tray w/ the servo tape provided in the kit, it didn't hold and the RX8 broke free and was bouncing around. What are you all using to hold down the ESC?
Thanks for all the help!

ppl mistake how to gear just cuz your running hot doesnt mean go down in gearing , you have to be in the range where motor makes power. if motor starts making power at 2000 rpm to 8500 rpm thats how you gear it, hope that helps. Ldog
I think the brace and the slipper upgrade would be worth $65 to a guy just bashing as a durability upgrade. I've seen it around for $44-54 dollars online.

kysoho gyro gel , if you want motor to last dont go over 150 , turn your current down to like 30-40, and put timing , you mite be over revving motor.

The two garodiscs that are the same go on the outsides just how the FT pads would go, and the one that is diff. goes on the inside of the clutch basket under the washer............
I've playing with the sc10 4x4 for 6 month's and I can't seem to get the rear to stay under the truck. I ran blue groove clay over winter and now outdoors at a large very loomy track. I have the Exotec, slipper basket 2 2c parralel lipo's and ran everything from 20k front/10k rear to 5k all the way around. It does not seem to make a difference... I even put the over drive pulley in today and it helped a little but the truck is unsettled at best. I have tried going down as low as 25 wt frt and 20 wt rear shock oil and it helped a little but no matter what any on power turns and rolling on the power on the straights the rear wants to get super loose. I just put the 2 2c's in for weight thinking it might help but still have the same problem.. and yes I have tried several different tire combo's, sway bar combo's, shock positions ect... the only thing I see different in the forums are the reat camber link height and RC Shox center diff that i'ver been waiting to come off back order for over a month. Any direction would be GEATLY appreciated... No, I don't want to buy a Losi... I had one, it handled great but clapped out in a couple of race days.Thanks guy's

I'm thinking I will go ahead and buy the kit since not only the slipper seems great compared to stock a lot of people seem to really like running the saddles.

And you have your back end stepping out?
here is my solution.
I do not know if this will help in high grip situations, but it does help for sure with low to med grip conditions.

Not sure what most run with the 4600 but I run the 4000 on a 16t
This worked well for me.
