I was more wondering about the wires going to the RX.

Very nice. Every option, every upgrade. That's about as good as it gets.

You have asked this question several times and it has been answere several times.

Everyone has had good feedback that has tried it.

It's a wise investment, IMO

Wildcat put on your vts from your 4x4 and try it. I just bought a second one and will never go back!

I grabbed a VTS. Was gonna get the Triad but it wasnt in stock at the track. I haven't used it yet. Trying to decide if I want to use it for 17.5 blinky or not. Seeing as my next race will be 17.5, I may wait. I guess I can always toss it on my SC10 if I don't use it on my 4.1

The 12mm shocks come with a supplement and spacers/ hardware for the 12mm shocks but I chose not to use it and use the 1mm spacer instead and grind the towers as well. If you use the provided stuff you don't need to grind though.

I used the full pack for photos (since it was new), and I also hadn't added weight to the car yet so I wanted to revisit my battery testing with the full, wolf pack and shorty pack.

Yes, I am running the carbon front tower. I just prefer the added stiffness of the carbon. Although, a benefit of the plastic tower is that the ballstud has more thread engagement because of more material there.

Nope, just sharpie. It how all the team guys do it. Just use a standard and fine tip sharpie.

Thanks. I pretty much just built it out of parts rather than an actual "rebuild".

That is great to hear! I have shims sitting waiting to be shipped w/ the shocks. Now I can re-allocate those funds towards tires!

Default Quick Review RC10B4.1

Hi Everyone,

This was my first attempt with a green screen. Here is a short video review of the RC10B4.1 !

+ YouTube Video
ERROR: If you can see this, then YouTube is down or you don't have Flash installed.


or watch here in 1080 http://youtu.be/njendXPfraA

Later today I'll be receiving one of these World kits from UPS and I'm going to do a full review with a heads up shootout with my DEX210 so everyone can see lap times and actual footage of each car driven by the same guys on the same track on the same day!

-Jason

This has probably been addressed before but has anybody tried running the Associated gear diff in the buggy? If so, anything good/bad/indifferent to say about it?

I am still running the standard chassis. What are the major benefits of the +8. I'm running outdoors now, searching for more overall grip. But I'll be running on carpet in a few weeks.

Put it on you'll like it once you get it set.
Then go buy another and runn it on all your vehicles.
3pads is the future for off road. I bet these types off systems will be standard on offload vehicles in a bit here.
