I cant complain about my gens ace, but they dont make a good saddle. my gens ace balances well and stay balanced. and it never gets above room temp in my 4x4 when I rave. Are they best, prob not. I would test their C values, but I am unsure how to check. I can say their IR is pretty low. My icharger rates them at 3ohms for the pack. My amain packs are 8ohms. so yeah.

Everyone got their glow sticks & e-tabs ready? Turn up the bass. (jk)

Hey guys, i just picked up a ft with some upgrades, gonna run a pro4 4600 and a bh 120a. Is there anything i need to be aware of with this truck? Or things to watch for? This is my first attempt at off road 4wd, so any help is beneficial.

Thanks in advance

speaking of which. a couple years ago. some factory guys used to put on a black light race at CH. The paint the outside of their bodies and used flo paint to mark the jumps and raced in the dark with black lights. TClose to glow sticks, lol.

Of course ,

you endorse the cheepo puff daddy batteries....

bh120 or lt4 120? just curious. Watch your temps!!!. that motor can be hot. I would get a couple pinions. maybe a 12-14t or 11-13t. depending on your track. buy some lead weight. you can search on here about how much and where to put it. And I have never tried it, but people seem to love the rcshox v2 cdiff. read up on the 8mm mod and using front springs in the rear. try to get pack that are over 50c for that motor, maybe even 60c.

Put 5mm of shock limiting clips under the rubber bumpers on the shock shafts on the rear and 4mm on the front if they are not there already. Otherwise the cva's will contact the outdrives and mess things up. If you hear clicking under power, thicker diff shims under the sun gears and new gear set.

13/62 gearing to start.

Other than that just tune it to your liking and read through this thread for setup help.

Never puffed with a rx8 and tenshock 4 pole.
Only problem I've had is a melted case at the positive port but that was my error for going too long with a bullet and it arc'd.

If I can spend $40 on a lipo that gives me about the same performance as a $120 lipo... guess I buy cheapo.

Yeah Chris is a cheapo, but I'm the same way , actually I'm waiting for the a-spec nano's to arrive in the US warehouse which will probably be the time I start driving my sc10 4x4 again........

But they R slow , and will have a short life .


Our Li-po graveyard is littered with um ...

Yeah, can't wait to try the A Spec... when they get to the US warehouse. Got spoiled and not shipping from China again

Its the lt4 120a. What is a good temp range, and what would be dangerously too hot? I have a few pinions already and will be picking up a couple more. I believe it has the 8mm mod done already. I have 1 60c and picking up 1 90c for it aswell.

Ill deff check the limiter clips when i get home. Im well too aware of the clicking diff issue from my 2wd sc10 Thanks ill try that gearing set up

I have zippy's and nano's from a few years ago (plane dayz) that are still going strong. If nano's are ending their life early at your track, that was pilot error.

Oldest HK lipo I have is 5 years old and performance is barely lower than when it was new. That was old lipo tech before they started making the nano's.

Too each their own

Danny, where in SoCal are you? Been to local tracks?

umm, I personally try to stay under 160 deg. on both the esc and the motor. temp the caps and the heatsink.
