Thanks for the pics Brandon.

Hey Salad is that a 550 motor, and is it sensored? Come to think of it, that would be insane.

Ive been stuck in MN seeing the family, and is literaly nowhere to race in minneapolis. Cant wait to get back to houston and race

Can someone who has gone with gearings clutch basket please post pictures on how you "stretched" the cover? I just ordered one and don't want to mess things up.

all this talk with slipper pads got me thinking....so I went to check out my pads and sure enough they are a bit glased over. I changed both out to the HT pads and cranked down the spring. I wasnt having any issue before so we will see how it does now. I also switched from a 16 pinion to a 14 pinion.

I just used a dremel to sand down the inside of the cover. It worked but made the cover quite thin and in one spot i accidentally cut a slit all the way through. Check his thread in the for sale section to see what others have done.

Has anyone replaced the stock o-rings in the shock cartridges yet? I wanted to ask how do you open up the cartridge? I bought the o-rings from track star. Thanks for any help!

I have heard of people using a heat gun and a motor can. Heat up the plastic cove and then push it down against the end of the motor can.

I have to say, try fitting the cover on first. I did not have to modify mine at all and I have no rub. I thought at first that I had installed it wrong, so I took it all back apart and re-did everything and same result.

Mine is from the first batch from Tower... I am using two thin shims (total of 0.2 mm) after the slipper thrust washer. I have not measured the thrust spacer but I use the shims just in case.

My local track is a combination of dirt, some parts loose some parts hard packed and it also has sections with astro turf. So the driving surface varies around the track. I do also run the Castle 3800. I have not been anywhere near to do a wheely on the astro turf (high bite)...

It's a 540, 4200kv, 18.2mm rotor, not sensored.

Arigato, Buddy of mine did ours. He used a vise and 2 sockets, First socket he used was about the size of the basket. Placed on the inside and a larger one on the other side. closed up the vise and made a perfect stretch and indent. Looks great, take a look

I replaced the o-rings with the track star ones. Just take the shock cartridge cap off the cartridge body and pull the tube out and the o-rings will be right there.

No not yet. They will be releasing a new wheel soon that will fit the SC10 4x4.

Your only solid choice for now is stock and DE Racing.
