not wirth it, Ill wait for an updated wheel, sorry about your $28 but thanks for the heads up...

It was after the fact that I read it, and it was your advice that I took. I dug through the trash, pulled the old wheels out, which is why I am getting the new ones.

As for the 2nd pair, no I didnt listen

You win some you loose some.

Instead of adding so much extra weight through out the truck you have heavier wheels which will keep the power to the ground a little better. In my opinion that is.

Why don't you guys run the new J Concepts wheels? The plastic seems to be much stiffer than the AE stuff and they come in white which you can dye any color or black. I've seen the wheels dyed and they really take color very well. If your desperate you can still run those stripped AE wheels but it takes alittle effort on your part. Just epoxy the stripped out part and allow it to dry. Then dremel the area for the pin. It works fine.

The only real benefit of heavier wheels is the added gyro effect for adjusting the car mid flight (which can be quite useful with the parachute effect of the body). As far as better handling, the less un-sprung weight the better as far as keeping the power to the ground.

The way a heavy tire or wheel would work is increased rotational inertia, it would act like a heavier flywheel and keep the tires from spinning up as easy. this would be a help in smooth stuff as in the rough the unsprung weight would offset it.

Anyone know a good place to start gearing a stock sc10 with 17.5 novak system?





Thanks

So i drove mine for the first time yesterday, and it is slow!

Tell me what i'm missing, it just doesn't go anywhere.

Castle 4600, Mamba Max, SMC 2s 40c 5200mah, 18/87

it should not be that slow!

Its the mamba system.

Couldnt help it.


Check your gearing and motor temps. Your pinion gear may be too slow, your slipper may be too loose, and or its possible but check the back of you rims to make sure you didnt accidently strip one of them.


Edit....

I just re read your post, and you should try a 21 or 22t pinion, not a 18.

Im not posting a for sale ad here, I just wanted to throw this out there.

I have 3 T4 trucks, one is a parts truck.

I have a complete stealth transmission, mounting plate, rear a-arms, aluminum rear hubs, aluminum heat sink motor mount, black motor mount, gear cover, good spur gear and slipper assembly.

Basically took the back off the truck.

If anyone is interested in this for a ball diff conversion please let me know.

I have already done the conversion to mine, and its, with out a doubt, an imporvement.

Just pm me.

You're right it should not be that slow. I run the 5700 with a 16/87 combo and it runs about 40mph with a 2s.

waht zippy and turnigy lipos fit the sc10 and would be good for spec class racing

75/27 or 28 and check your temp after 5 min.
