I tried this set-up this weekend, and I have mixed emotions about it.
First off, the truck was very balanced from left to right. The biggest issue I had was too much steering. I couldn't dial any more out, and the rear end was loose. It seems that this configuration place too much weight up front.
Also, my truck was much happier with the added weight of the stick pack and the 9oz. I added to it. Oh well, back to the drawing board.....

Thanks for letting us know blacklable. For me I think I will stay with the stock configuration with weight on the electronics side until or if AE comes out with a factory team saddle pack layout.

I have that much subtrim in mine, has equal throw both ways, servo tracks straight, is it supposed to be a problem?
Here is the scales I use:

I paid $4.99, and apparently overpaid.

I think the key is the 8-9oz if you are running on a track that doesn't take rubber on a normal club race day.

Having a small problem with my truck guys. It's over heating the motor quickly. It's not the ESC, because without the power or pinion ot comes to a pretty quick stop. I am running a 5.5t LRP 540 with a 14/93 gearing, one tooth lower than the reccomended factory gearing for that motor. I have only had this truck a week and I did buy it used. Could it be the pulley's causing the problems? I will be ripping it down and doing a fresh rebuild on it so I know what was done to it but it just doesn't seem right to only get 2 minutes before it thermals.

It could be wheel hexes rubbing the bearings.
too tight of a belt?(what are the settings)
any type of drag. How far will it roll on the ground with no pinion installed??
depending in the size of the track you may never get it under control with that low of a turn motor.

The wheel hexes have been spaced out but it never hurts to check again. Not sure what the settings are but I moved the pulley's so I get the belt off of the guide from front to back as well as having 1/8-3/16" of play on the belt, as per the instructions if not a touch looser. It only rolls for about 10-14" with no pinion.

Before adjusting turnbuckles, set all transmitter steering trims to zero and any sub trim to zero. Turn Radio on. Servo arm should be at 90 degrees. If not then the servo arm is not on the splines correctly. If it is close to 90 degrees but not dead on then correct it with sub trim (if available). Correct the arm (if needed) and adjust the turnbuckles so that the truck turns straight without using the trims. Use the trims for fine adjustment after this. This way your steering is centered and the same side to side.

Any news on this I'm running the sct 1410 combo and right now no issues with the clutch but was wondering if anyone purchased these vented hubs and are running it without the basket and if so how is it performing ?
