I saw a picture on Facebook today of RC practicing at OCRC. He had his sc10 4w and b4.1 on the bench.

Hey. Probably not. How do I say this without being a jerk? I just don't like running indoor.


If I do, I'll run 17.5 SC or buggy.

Just some more info from castle on the SV2 to help in your decision:

The Sidewinder Sv2 is the perfect choice for upgrading 1/10+ 2wd and 4wd vehicles weighing 5 lbs or less to quality brushless power and speed.

Default Duratrax

I ran the even cheaper cc version called duratrax in my truck for months on a huge 1/8 outdoor track with no problems but I did change it out soon as I can afford it. They work but not like rx8 pro 4

Guys that are running the Exotek Chassis with a RX8 speed controller are you running the RX8 on the left side where the receiver would normally be or on the right side?

Is it normal for the belt to rub? I believe I have the tensioners adjusted right. Sometimes I noticed a little squeak from the belt rubbing against the plastic... Maybe just re-tension it..

The belt tunnel can bow over time and rub, but if it's just brushing it it's no big deal.

I run mine on the ESC side with no ESC mount. I took the fan out and removed the fan cage.

Made a big improvement on the truck's handling Monday night's practice session. I had quite a few racers tell me that the truck was "floating" around the track. Well I played around with weights and boy does adding weight make a big difference. I put 2oz right down the middle under the belt drive then another 1oz under the servo. The truck was night and day difference in handling. And that's all I changed from the previous weekend of racing, same tires, same setup. So I'm gonna order Exotek chassis soon, but for now gonna be racin with lead weight..lol
Also done the 8mm mod and after the first initial test with just adding weight and also seen improvements.
Just ordered the Exotek, front diff locker. Gonna see if this helps as well with front end pull.
