Yea lots of tracks let you stop the race right before your heat after the 2wd buggies and SCT's run.

Since when did AE start making brooms? I can't believe you suggest a non-AE solution.

I personally dont think AE cares too much about the 4x4 sc class period. But that is another discussion.
I agree. When your FT kit includes a stick to keep the frame rigid and to keep your innovated belt system from skipping and coming off it's track, you have to wonder how much they really care.

I think their best bet is to create a new chassis and arms for the SC8.2 to make it 1/10 scale legal.

What? Is the air thinner out there? I guess that would explain a lot.

how but the radio end point
and gearing and are you runing the 4600
Give the push setting 30-40 or something crazy to get a feel for the effect and dial back from there to where you like it. More open outdoor tracks I will run 20 push sometimes, depends on the layout.

EPA is at 100% unless I'm at Palm Desert Raceway (outdoor) where it can get over 100° outside and my motors running hot. Then maybe 90 EPA.

13/62 indoor & outdoor. Used to run the sc4x 4800 2 pole and I needed the smaller gearing for indoor (12), but with the 4 pole... there's no lack of bottom end

Yeah, us Californians and the lack of oxygen... that must be why we're so laid back

Not much difference between a fully vented high flow or flowtec and one that just has the rear vents cut out at an indoor track. There's no wind.

My outdoor high flow is like Swiss cheese and my indoor high flow has the hood scoop cut out, bed cut out and a few holes drilled on the trailing end of the roof. Cutting that part out to the mold lines makes it very weak and cracks in the center.

Yeah, I heard the new Durango is not as fragile as the first version. That was about the only downfall to it... besides getting losi'd real easily.
