Thanks for the help, what kind of temps were you seeing with the MMP?

It rained here overnight, it feels like I'm in Houston this morning. It's so humid out there, it's already uncomfortable.

No hotter than 150, then the fan kick on. the hobbywings fan continuously runs so it says cooler. I just prefer sensored, or the option of running sensored.

ok i have mine working pretty good as of last nite... but keeps getting somewhat warm. running a havoc pro sc w/ balistic 4.5 550, after a 6 min heat esc is around 100 and motor is 170-180. ran 14/62 with no timing and 12/62 with 25* timing at 6,000 rpm and temps are the same. pulled everything apart this am and there is no binding, rolls forever with belt off. also ran it 12/62 with no timing last saturday nite and it was 175 after the 10 min main. air temp is around 75-80 on average. any help would be appriciated thanks

Oops, I forgot to ask about batteries. This will be my first brushless RC, and I need to know what minimum C rating, and how many amp/hours I'll need to make this thing a run like a rocket for at least 10 minutes. I'll probablly run the Castle 1410, and the Mamba Max Pro ESC.

Gens Ace 5000 mah 40C......for the price, can't be beat

I thought mine was smooth and free(the drivetrain), but found that sand ad dust worked its way around the rear diff case and caused some binding in mine. I had to wash off the diff case in soap and water. Earlyer is said somethin about my motor temps being pretty warm and stated that the dricetrain was smooth. I had to pull out the cvd's, pull off the belt, take the clicker and slipper assembly. Then spin the topshaft, if there is ANY binding, then rebuild it. after I rebuilt the rear end of mine my motor temps droped 30 degrees. It was running 160 with a heatsink and fan, now its 130.

temporary fix

i havent run the truck yet since reassembling, but it should work.. an oops in the mold for the center chassis piece is the culprit..

Make sure you watch your slipper too. Loose spring, glazed pads. Friction equals heat.

i have the clutch basket in it with ht pad for front and 2 reg pads in the basket. i took the belt off and spun each shaft, really smooth i just serviced the diffs monday there was no dirt there

What is the motor everyone is really liking in the SC10 right now? I am finishing the build up here pretty soon and I am thinking about the castle 4 pole. Anyone using this motor? Any gearing suggestions?

does anyone have any pics of the underbody mounted yet? Mine shipped out yesterday from tower.

what is this clutch basket ?

I am not being a jerk, search this thread and you will find all the info you need on the topic a few pages back.

Castle 4 Pole 1410 with MMP is perfect

Hello, was wondering if anyone who runs on a large outdoor dry dusty slick track has any suggestions on what sway bars they used. Yes, I know the best way is to test them at my local track and use what's best suits me. I'm looking for a starting point.

My thoughts are the 2.2 Yellow up front to help lessen front grip / entry steering and the 1.5 White in the rear to increase rear traction / less on power steering Or should I use the same size sway bars front and rear?

Any suggestions or experience would be appreciated.
