Thanks for the input. I'm going to go through the truck truck using the manual making sure I have lock tight where it needs to be and diff oil and so on. Thanks again.

just wondering what esc, motor and batteries do you guys use on this truck.
2s or 3s?

someone keep telling me i need 3s in my truck

2s Turnigy A-spec 5600mah saddle pack, RX8 and a pro4 4600kv. If you go through some of these posts you'll find everybody's setup.

A little off topic but, was that you yelling at the marshals?

I was wondering the same thing. Looked like fine marshalling work to me. I'd be embarrassed.

great video


What tires are you guys using ?

This is the type of video that I feel really shows a track. A good GoPro head mounted camera so we can all follow your racing. Thanks for posting this link, Rippen and hope to meet you soon. A fellow SC10 4x4 in Losi territory would be great!!

Nice video Rippen! There are still several guys running SC10 4x4's at Dirtburners. I am one of them, but I'm pretty new to this. It would be great to be able to work with you guys on setups / ideas.

It's a plan. We have to show Jimbo that he jumped shipped too quick!!

I am returning to Michigan soon and will frequent DB's. Especially Tuesday nights.

Db was grate popped my charry there

I used 2S, for that on the Sc10 4x4, I personally liked the Tekin Pro4 4000Kv motor on a small to medium track. On larger tracks I added in VERY little timing in the higher RPM ranges to get some top end speed (like 5 degrees).

I plan to try out the hobbywing 4000Kv motor here in a Tekno, from what I have seen, a team driver for Tekno was using it and in comparison to the Tekin Pro4 4600Kv I was using, he appeared to have more punch and we were geared about 1 tooth difference. Pretty powerful motor from what I have heard and runs cool. In the lighter sc10 4x4, should run really cool.

As for ESC, I personally use the Speed Passion GT2.0 Pro. Its small so it fits the SC10 4x4 well and works great with 540 4 pole, 550 2 pole motors. I have also tested it on a 550 4pole motor in my Tekno and it works, but I think to get the most out of the motor, you need something like an RX8 that can handle the higher amps.

As for batteries, really depends on what configuration you plan to do but if you are going to use a saddle or stick pack, give the IP batteries at promatch a look or the SMC ones. I feel for the money, you get a lot of bang for the buck as they do offer pretty good warranties too, promatch's are 1 year.

I personally use the Promatch IP 7200mah 80C batteries in my Tekno which is significantly heavier than the Sc10 4x4 with no issues.

I think they would be excellent in the sc10 4x4 or there saddle packs too.

Runtimes, I got about 13 minutes back with my heavy SC10 4x4 using promatchs older 5200mah 50C saddle packs, so I can imagine what you could get with the newer lipos.

The tire of choice seems to be Panther Rattlers (clay) and AKA Wishbones (clay)

Fella's just for the record, I don't yell at the marshalls

Just let me know when you get back in town and we'll hook up at DB's

Can't seem to locate the .5mm #9888 washers for the diff any where, can anybody help ?
THANKS
