Im not angry at all. I just think it's stupid to come in here and diss the truck in almost every single post. No problem here.

I was at Cactus, just got back home (Puerto Rico). I got to speak with Kinwald for a great while (great Guy). He had his truck with some "kinwald" mods and it actually looked really good out there going around the track. He had a kind of carbon fiber upper deck around the center chassis with saddle 1S packs, and two rows of ballast on each side of the chassis. Front, he had 80grams of weight and 20 on the rear. He also adapted 1/8th scale springs to the SC10 4x4 shocks, No 8mm mod, Maifields setup on pistons and oils.

I also asked if he had tried the Pro-lite and he said he had not tried it yet, but would get one to "tinker with" at some point.

Have to say, talking to "the legend" was one of the highlights he is like a racing encyclopedia and very willing to share the knowledge. Got some pics of the SC10 4x4 so will post when I can download them.

So you attack the person that helped get the truck to where it is today and has helped COUNTLESS amount of members since the beginning with my videos ,CORRECT information and in depth technical discussions? On a daily basis between RCShox and this forum i probably answer on avg 20 messages per day about this truck. Read my RCShox thread and find all of the "negativity" that i speak. Search this thread and find negative post that i made about this truck besides the large jump issues which is a known fact. Let us know what you come up with.
To this day I sell more SC10 4x4 parts than anything else, so it makes sense that i would come on this thread and bash the truck! You got me confused with someone else. If i was not sponsored by TeamC i would still be racing this truck today. All i am saying is pick your fights carefully or at the very least be knowledgeable about what you say. 100% of what you said about me is false, simple as that

That really cool, we need to hook up. I've been really busy, but things are slowing down now so I can get some track time in.

Even though I sold my last truck, I still read this thread everyday for the last 4 months. I love this thread and the characters that populate it! Great information and help, in addition to the drama, like watching a soap opera when your home sick. Keep it up everybody so glad to be back!

100 grams of ballast you say.

Front/rear spring and weight mismatch. Plus, he looks like he's down on power compared to other trucks.

Ran my first race today with some of the faster guys at our track. Finished 3rd two seconds behind 2nd which wasn't bad considering I started to figure out how to drive the truck the last few laps and made up six seconds in 5 laps. Thanks for the help from Cain to get the truck where it is now.

RCShox 3D printed pistons, these are protoypes that i need to test for durability and wear. This has never been done before in RC! the machine I am purchasing is super accurate and can hold .001" tolerances. Since they are not machined I am not limited to say straight holes or even angled holes I can make holes with a bend in the middle. PRINT PISTONS WITH CHECK VALVES INSIDE, possibilities are endless. Welcome to the next Phase in RC suspension pistons!

No disrespect to BK - in fact, I'm sure it was on purpose. But that's my opinion why it does what it does in air.

And I'll tell you this - I never seen him slow in the straight before. Usually he runs the most power of anybody.
