Been getting better with my truck, consistently getting faster laps weekly.... Thinking about switching from the SC4X 4.5 Tekin to either a 4000kv or 4600kv Tekin Pro.
I wouldn't change the car I drive for anything... unless it's a new AE

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.
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!
so glad to be back!I love this thread too and only plan on making it more fun for those who are interested in tuning their Sc10 4x4 for the best performance ...
There are times when I think, I should buy another one and try again. I mean they are soooo cheap to buy, lol. I guess I am an AE fanboy and am like a moth to the flame. But i will continue to resist, lol. I just hope no one ever offers me a rocking deal on a used truck with all of the upgrades, I might just say yes, lol. "If" they release a new race truck or fix up this one, then I will probably buy one. God help me.

since you mention you use the 4.5 Tekin, probably the 4600Kv will suit you better. The 4000Kv motor is good for small to medium tracks I felt. Boosted SLIGHTLY it woke up a lot. The main issue with running a 4600 in a sc10 4x4 here was on some of the very tight tracks, couldnt get sufficient gearing to keep temps down enough. For you though, i don't think that will be an issue since the 4.5 works.
I think this truck will always have a huge fan base. For some people it just works while others hate it. A RC8 based sc would be a logical move for AE. I'm sure they will come up with something really good.
I could have seen the sc10 4x4 soldier on if this rc8 based sct came into being as the RTR cheaper option till the prolite came a long.
Though, considering how much some have sung the praises of slippers over center diffs, I doubt those guys would get it just for that fact
