I used to run a 15 tooth pinion with a HW3656 4000KV 4 pole motor 2S setup on a previous SCT410 I had. I don't know what to start with.

I have the 1850 in my superlight buggy, I would start with a 18T and adjust from there. Its a very smooth/fast setup.

Thank you!!!

Several conversion charts on google images, even PT racing oils chart to Losi oil I think.

This is extremely close to my truck. I'm running on a 100 x 200 foot outdoor, hard packed and dusty track and it is really good!!!

There's filled out sheets. And there's blank sheets. The filled out sheets are PDF files that auto download to your phone when you click on them. There's only 3 set up sheets posted.

I got my 6x1.5 pistons installed. Wow, alot faster action. The suspension moves alot more and seems way more sensitive. I'm thinking it may be too fast, I put 30 weight AE oil in front & back with Black/Green. Im thinking I need heavier oil. I guess I'll find out Sunday!!

30w AE is 350 CST

This is taken straight from the oil weight conversion chart:

550 CST = 45 (AE) and 47.5 (L)
Losi is 2.5 lighter that AE.
So 30 AE is equivalent to 32.5 Losi & so on.

Any one use rpm body mount system , I thought they make one but it's not listed?

I assume you are using an Apple device. Neither Safari nor iBooks will show the setup sheets properly. I am using the Adobe Reader App and it works fine.
