To find me, easy, black and green SC 10 and blue and white T4.

This is a real design flaw. Use some Shoe Goo. After you put the pins in use a little dab on either end to kind of seal the ends. Also, put some on your hex pins before popping the hexes on After doing this and running dirt a few times everything seems nice and "sticky".
I'd be interested to know what either people are doing with their slippers? How tight or loose or you running them?

Yes very poorly designed indeed...

Tekin RX8 vs. Mamba max pro
Im getting an SC10 4x4 soon. I plan on putting the new Tekin Pro4 motor in it. I would really like to put in the RX8 ESC but I already own a NIB CC Mamba Max Pro so I don't want to spend money that I don't need right now. Can I get some opinions on the Mamba Max Pro in the SC10 4x4? Does the MMP have a motor limit?

I am running the MMP with the 3800kv motor and it does very well. Nice and cool. I am running 16/62, and have set the timing at 30*. The fan has yet to turn on the MMP. I am also planning to get the pro4 motor and run it on the MMP, as long as the software and sensor don't have problems i think this esc should do fine.
Just a heads up, castle doesn't recommend adding timing to a sensorless motor. I called and spoke to a fairly knowledgable person there (forgot the name), and he basically said you get about 2% more power with 5-10 degrees of heat per every 10 degrees of timing added (sensorless). I dropped my timing, no noticeable speed difference (still ungodly power!) and down from 150s to 130s.

+1.I put a dab of CA glue on the hex so it wouldnt come off. I happen to think it is very well designed, they allow debris to be ejected rather than collecct and wear out the end of the pins.

Thanks - Will definately monitor temps closely until I get the right gearing down, specially when I finally get the SC10 4x4 on the track.
Hopefully in the next couple of days
I will try without swaybars on the first track run and see how it goes.
btw - which pinions are you using (Brand and type)?
I'm using RR Absolut hardened 48p pinions. It has been working good so far.
But the width is definately much smaller than the spur.
Which 48p pinion (Brand) would have a wider width closer to the size of the spur?

What servo are you running and radio gear as well?

Med/large indoor clay I run 13/62.. after 8min I am around 135 on motor and esc is barely warm to the touch.
Large 1/8 outdoor track I ran 14/62...after 8min the motor was 160-165 and esc warm to the touch. It was about 90 deg that day.
