Was just thinking wouldn't the truck be pretty off balance with the short packs? Or are they better balanced then the full size packs which are pretty heavy. Can some of u guys running the short packs give me some feedback? Are they better cuz u can move them back and forth for weight distribution? Or are they too light and the full size packs balance the truck better?

I see a lot of u guys are running the bigger packs 7200mah ect, I know a lot of guys are getting away with high end high C rated shorties also correct? Guy on here a lot from Ohio Samrus or something like that he posted picks of the carbon air dams recently, he runs shorties which is what I was gonna try, I just got my truck this past Friday its my first 4wd anything, gonna race in Dallas tx at mikes small indoor tenth scale track with low to med traction and was gonna get the Tekin pro4 HD 3500kv should be plenty? Track is prob like 40 50ft by 30ft I'm thinking. I have no idea where to start with anything, help me out guys like diff oils? spur pinion? gonna use the stock springs I guess cuz there soft and its low to med traction track. Pistons I want to try the Fioroni's or the Competition Suspension Pistons they should and better be awesome for 48 bucks. I know some of u guys are running them, the F's what oil weight would u suggest for low to med traction track and what springs? Anyone trying Avid or Kyosho springs? Thanks guys.

Ya, this local track was a monster on batteries. We were puffing 4s packs in our 1/8 stuff. The Serpent's were really chewing threw packs. That was 3 or 4 lap warm up and a 7 min heat. I was running the Tenshock SC411 5200kv, but it is no longer with us

Thanks man, I have no idea what the different diff oils even do lol. That's sad but like I said its my first 4wd anything and I just been reading this thread as much as possible to figure out what I need and stuff. And this whole droop thing is also something new to me? I basically get what it is, Its setting it that I'm thinking about, let me guess more money for a Huddy set of blocks and whatever else is needed with them.

For droop you don't need anything special or huddy blocks.... I use a regular digital caliper for measuring droop length. You measure center eyelet to center eyelet.

I never got why we measure droop eyelet to eyelet. What happens when you change shock locations. Yes droop will stay the same because of the stopper screws, but if you need to adjust it it will be different that the initial setting.

+1 that's why I use hudy blocks and droop gauge now

There is a screw on the 410 that locks the droop in? Is it located on the A arms? And this is only something u set on a vehicle that is made to set it correct? Like my Losi 22 SCT I don't set droop on that correct?
