Not sure about the math but I could see and feel the difference.
A wheelie in a 4wd? I must be severely under powered, lol.

A wheelie with 4wd? That's nothing. I run Nano-techs and my truck is so powerful I can make it go on it's lid! Even on the straight.

Joking aside, well put by Kellogg; seeing and feeling the difference will always be the most convincing way to sell.

Ran my truck at the new/large outdoor track in my area. Running the v2 center diff w/ 4 pins and 2 stage pistons had my truck running real nice. I had tons of traction, off the corners and in the bumps.

Looking forward to getting back out there tomorrow.... w/ my 8mm mod......

If your looking for high quality packs and are willing to part with a little extra cash, check out High Velocity. Jon's batt's are awesome. I have a 2S 6000mah 60C stick pack and it's the best battery I own. Better than my $130 Racers Edge equivalent. He also has Shorty's and Saddles:

Highly recommend. I will be ordering some more myself soon. He graphs each battery before sending it out, so you know you're getting a quality battery.

Ok so with all the battery talk what would be the better battery? The GENS ACE 6000mah 2S3P 7.4V 25C Or the TURNIGY nano-tech 7.4v 2s 5100mah 65c / 135 burst"?

And I puffed 2 Gens Ace 40c's and had one show up with a bad cell after a couple cycles. The puffed ones may have been my own fault though because I didnt put a storage charge on them before they sat for months, the other new one I got about a month ago is perfectly fine so that may have been the problem.

I am going to try some Nano-Techs and see how they stack up...They are just about the same price so I think it is between those two for a lot of people. Now if they just came off backorder in the USA warehouse we would be set.

I puffed my Gens ace too. I was just pointing out that there are some people having problems with the turnigys.

Forget the saddel packs. Converting to dual shorty stick packs was the best money I ever spent.

Anybody know if Proline beadlock wheels can be used with other brand tires? I'm trying to fit up some HB Beams to some beadlocks but they don't seem to be compatible

Good news and bad news, the good news is that my sc10 4x4 is now back up and operational. I installed my Brushless Hobbies 120a esc and its working perfectly with no glitching/brownouts at all. The bad news is the issue I was having was from my RX8, I guess the internal bec/cap got messed up from all the dirt and grime that got inside of it. Hopefully everything will be covered under warranty and since it just arrived at tekin today I should be getting it back sometime next week depending on the fix/replacement etc............

Anyone running the brushless hobbies with a tekin pro4 or similar motor that can give me some tips on esc settings etc? Thanks
