Figured i'd post a video of my race from over the weekend. It was our "track championship".

I'm the one talking to the cameraman (howard) before the start of the race. You can hear me saying my truck is WAYYYY down on power from the norm. Off throttle, in air, the truck wanted to nose dive like i've never seen before.

I started in 4th due to speedo issues in the quals. Before this main the speedo I was borrowing at the time kept novaking.

Not exactly the finish I wanted, nor did I drive clean at all. But anyway, heres the vid....

What gearing would you guys recommend for this size track with a tekin rx8 and the 4600kv pro4?

Pick a set-up that fits your track conditions best.
BK works great on clay. I even use some of it (8mm camber mod & ballast) ..



Where are you running or racing your truck ?

Looking at the EDAM buggy above, I think someone likes the SC104x4 - the design similarities are very obvious.

lol. SC10 4x4 V2? Be curious how well a fluid filled center diff setup like this would work. Even more so, how much crow to have on the menu for those who said its not needed if it performs better with it or AE makes such an item.

Interesting. The description says nothing about what thread size is accepted by the body, but I assume the associated rods screw on tightly?

By the way, they would be totally bullet proof if you put a washer under the head of the socket screw. That way if they did get a hit hard enough to pop them the washer would retain them from coming all the way off. This would at least allow you to finish a race, although alignment might be off.
