Really, it's just a good business practice and they are meeting a demand that the public wants. As business owners, you and I both should know that.

I also went down to 325/275 oils to compensate for the softer springs.
I am New to this forum and I am getting Ready for my first RC Pro Race in Katy Tx so I am looking for setup ideas and theories.

Why would you run Front springs in the rear? would that give you less travel in the rear?

not sure if anyone has actually put a finger on it but the springs act different even if the rates are similar, putting the front springs in the rear corrected most of the jumping issues we were having. i now have white fronts in the rear but have not track tested yet, plan on going to Katy in the morning to try out.

That IS my standard set up for about 3 months now. Blue fronts and front Whites on the rear. Using Craigs static spring test makes my chassis spring equal front and back. Pretty much just play with camber,shock oil, and sway bars. 7k in the front and rear diff. For me is a DIALED set up.

One thing I did not note is I did glue my lower chassis together to make it one piece. It did stiffen it some.

Hey Guys,
planning to use an old LRP SXX TC V1 ESC with my Tekin Pro4 4000kv on a SC10 4x4 FT. Anyone has experience with this setup, will my ESC over heat? I have an option to go with the MMP but I'm not a big fan of castle products.
Thanks in advance.

Default saddle packs
I just switched to saddle packs and ran my new battteries for the first time. One of the batteries is discharging significantly more than the other. Is this normal?

I have to go from memory but i think the voltages were 3.17v and 3.81v.

Is this normal or do I have a bad battery?

Hes saying try blance charging them again and see if they balance out, may have been a one time instance, if it does it again or doesn't balance properly then yes there is an issue with one of your saddles......

FYI...I always balance charge my lipos. It takes longer but it's better that way I think.
