Maybe I'll see you tomorrow
Then I almost got talent, my 2nd lap with my friends RC8 I almost drove off the straight as well, someone with a sct cut me off and luckily it was right before you turn onto the straight and that part of the wall was a little higher or I probably would of flown right off lol........However I have flown off the wall at the local track here in the High Desert a few times lol......

I'm going to try and make it out to WCRC next Friday since I have a 4day weekend coming up......

I know the motor has more in it should i jump to a 15 or should i go one tooth at a time. I have all the way to a 18 if needed but i dont think that will be needed.
I ran a 12 indoor and 13 outdoor with my old sc4x 4.5 so I would think you should start with at least a 13 indoor or 14 outdoor and go up as temp allow. You may end up at 14 indoor and 15 outdoor but go one tooth at a time.

You can get to the pinion screw pretty easy is you have a ball tip 2mm. Or dremel out a section in the plastic above the pinion to get a regular hex in there.

I tried the 8mm mod today with 5mm of ball stud washers under the inner ball stud. I am running a dusty 8th scale track with a typical front straight past the drivers stand leading to a huge high speed sweeper. I am running the Blue front springs on the rear with 32.5 AE oil and the standard white sway bar and it was incredible how much better it was. Before I was loosing the rear end at speed and now it tracks pretty well. I was using caliber 2.0 tires on JC Hazard wheels. My Ballistic 4.5t 550 motor geared at 14/62 was screaming as fast as the 8th scale nitro buggys and it was great. Love this mod!

hey guys sorry this is late, but will get my first race in with the M2C toe in blocks. Almost forgot I ordered them.

I am going to try them first at 3 degrees then, 3.25 and eventually 3.5. I have to say, very nice stuff. However, your smaller bumper can't be used unless you cut off the lip..

Also the instructions could have been a bit more clear on what happens. If they did say some pics would have made a wolrd of difference as there are notches that set things up different.

Anyway, wish me luck. first time going to this track.

im looking for either a little guidance and or some reassurance. Just got the pro4 4600 and the bh lt4 120a installed and did some speed passes down the street and toying around in the grass for about 10 mins to see where the temps were. im running 13/62 gearing

ESC hottest point i could find : 120

Motor at its hottest point : 150

Lipo : 80

Here is my question, is this acceptable/where i need to be? or should i play with the gearing some and if so which direction should i be going? Im pretty sure temps are going to change at the track but as a quick feeler this is what i got.

Also i did notice it was clicking somewhat loudly when turning and on power. Similar to what my 2wd sc10 did until shimmed the diff. Is this what is needed here also or are there other things i should check first?

Thanks!

I would drop down on gearing to 11 or 12/62, and yes the clicking sound could be coming from the diff so I would shim them.....

Personally since you were running in grass and ran for 10 minutes, those temps don't sound bad. Track conditions (assuming dirt) probably will be lower temps. You can drop a pinion size though to be on the safe side.

As far as the long wait yes after the 4s pack was released the demand was alot higher than expected and we ran out of inventory and had to wait for more to arrive. I hope our service depart took care of you when we did get more inventory.

Again sorry for the problems.
I truly appreciate the response. That was much much much more than I got from Customer support. (no sarcasm, thank you)

The temps are actually good, motor is actually still cool since the pro4's can run up to 180 and be safe, esc a little high but still ok...... I recommended the gearing because I remember him stating what tracks he may run at (OCRC,WCRC) and for WCRC I ran an 12/62 with my 4600kv motor and it was perfect........
