It's the same spring as the V2 one they offer for the B4, T4, SC10.

ive asked this before but it never got an answer,maybe thats because "no" is the answer... 
anyway, anyone running the stock rtr esc and motor ?
iam and the reedy 550 3500 kv motor gets hot, about 170 after 8 minutes and its not as fast as the other motors the guys are using in 4x4 open.(ae says the max temp is 170)
the esc so far has been good but i just read on another furom that if you use a different motor other then the rtr reedy motor "bad" things happen. as for what those bad things are i have no idea.
i was thinking of geting another motor like a 1410 and running it with the stock esc. no im unsure what to do and money is getting tight.

I have the rtr version and it also ran very hot. I fixed the problem by going to the mantis center diff. i also decided to replace the motor and I'm currently running the castle 1410 with the stock esc and a savox servo without any issues. I have a MMP to put in but will use the stock one until it dies.

and one more question, how is the 1410 compared to the stock motor ?
thanks !

I cant comment on what happens when you put another motor on the stock esc, but I just recently got my truck and for now am running the stock reedy motor and esc. At my track, it is more than enough power. I ran it for the first time last week and can honestly say I was not getting out powered by anyone. I was getting beat because of my handling and skill getting used to the truck. My track is indoor, small to medium size so power isnt a huge necessity. If you are running on a huge outdoor track I can see where it may be a problem. But for what I am using it for the stock esc and motor are fine. Hope this helps

I never got above 160 the other day, but those were only 5 min main. I took it out for some extended practices as well and still didnt see anything really over 160, but I cant tell you how many minutes those sessions were. ill check what pinion I'm running to see if that is helping keep me a little lower

Food for thought Sean and it some things to think about:
Tires, i have noticed that with my SS blockades although they have great grip but ballon to about 10" in diameter! well if you think about it when you go into a turn they get smaller again and that makes weight transfer do all kinda crazy stuff, seeing that the truck is light i think it is more obvious. this weekend i am going to buy a set of Losi tires (they are cheap and work well here) and strap them to see if it helps. i do notice that the truck is more planted with other tires but the blockades are the worst!
You have an extra set of V2 pistons, take the rear rebound set drill them to 1.3 and go up to 32.5 in the rear, keep the shocks mounted on the inside arm hole.

I did exactly what Marcus said with the pistons front and rear with 35wt in front and 32.5wt in the rear. I also added that steel skid plate on the front adding about 5oz low,front, and center. My weight bias is 48% front to 52%rear and it feels well balanced on the track. This last Sunday I had several guys wondering how I set up my truck to keep it so smooth and planted. It weighs in at a hefty 6.9lbs but still drives inside of the Losi's. For outdoors I need the weight. The only area of our track that gave me issues was a 180deg turn at the end of a straight that is down hill and off camber. My tires had good side bite and too much speed would cause a wicked traction roll.
Thanks guys. I'm no where near given up, Just back to a little frustrated.

I've purchased the rtr version of this truck, I have to sayi was bitterly disappointed in it. The truck was near un drivable track happy as hell very nervous at speed.
I've also got the losi scte rtr now or of the box with the tyres it came with I was driving like a pro!
I haven't given up on the sc10 yet and had got the upgrade pack from AE im yet to run it.
Reading through this thread im mightily confused as to which direction I should go to get the truck confident on the dirt tracks
To say im mightily disappointed is an understatement considering how awesome the losi is out of the box
