i attached a link to the video... just curious why the wheel sleed is so much different. is it a diff probem or just the rotating mass????

bearing seemed fine at the time. I replaced with avids and it was the same result. you can see from the inside view that the hub is twisting on the hinge pins.

Another thing, clean your tires!

I agree that the AE hubs get sloppy over time, but I can say that I run the same hubs for nearly a season and mine have slop but not that much. Now set screwed, they are pretty tight still.

The kido did well today with her sc10. She pulled off her faster run ever and is finally learning to jump and got faster. Enjoy my wifes commentary, lol. She is not a great driver, but she is 7 and only raced for like 3 months.

A little BB feedback:
SC10 #1 with 8.5 motor, running 35wt/1.5 piston/Losi green fronts and 30/1.6/AE white rears--felt awesome on the track, lots of grip, absorbed the big hits SO WELL. I'm changing nothing but going to AE blue fronts, since I want NO LOSI on it! Lol! High grip indoor clay, bar codes on all 4 corners.
#2 has a 17.5, 30wt/1.5/AE grey fronts and 25/1.6/AE green rears. A little too mushy, would lean over too far in the sweeper and diff out. Great traction though, and it made a joke of the whoops. Funny when a 17.5 with a butterfly sticker (thanks 3 yr old daughter!) passes everything thru the rough section... I moved the shocks out on the arms and it got better, but not as good as I'd like. Ordered another set of white rears to see if that helps.
Overall, very happy with the BB shocks, and I loved the FT V2's I had before....I was kinda scared to swap, but not anymore...
PS: ditched the sloppy aluminum hubs for plastic B44's, running 'em backwards (L <---> R) for extra spring-turnbuckle clearance, no spacers needed on the arms.
