I have an RTR with the stock ESC and a Tacon brushless motor (i think its the 4300) and it is much faster than the new sc10 RS that I bought. It has a lot more torque but that comes with a lot more wheel spin and tougher handling.

They should be similar to the stock AE wheels with 12mm hex. Proline makes bead locks for the Protrac now.

I needed to get new tires and wheels so the hazard was a natural buy. I can post when I test them. It will be a while.

That is exactly what the truck feels like when running it a bit wider. I feel the main difference people will notice is the truck won't feel as tippy/traction roll as easy.

Under those conditions I would run Jconcepts Double Dees in green compound.

If it's wet, I run goose bumps.

If they blow it off, I can run barcodes in the rear.

IMO tirewear is not essential in a racecar that wants to be fast. If you want to not pay the tire bill and the guy next to you wants to buy tires that last 1/3 less and everything else is the same, he's gonna win.

Just sayin'.

What pinnion would I use for the motor?? What if I add timing on the end bell, what is a good starting point???

I run a 1015 in my SC10, in fact I bought one used and sight unseen because I liked the one in my SC10 4x4 so much, and I was in a hurry. I can't comment on the other two, but I have zero reason to change servos for the first time in 21 years of racing RC cars.

I run 26/75 with a no timing speedo and about 30 degrees in my Novak motor at a small track and a 28 on a big track, so if you aren't into the Stratosphere with motor timing I'd start at 26 and see how it goes.

Carpet - I run X factors on the left side, a team purple RF, and a XX pink on the RR. BSR compounds.



You were talking about oval right? People race off road on carpet???!!!!?? I'm in the worst part of California where even in the dead of winter we can race outdoor almost year round.

If I could get a indoor carpet road course that could stay in business locally, I'd be running 1/12 scale right now.

Anyone have issue with toasting the hub carrier bearings? I am using the FT blue aluminum hub carriers and it seems to ONLY be my right side that is getting toasted.

I've never seen a set before. I know they claim they make them, but can you actually get them?

Three race days on a set of tires doesn't seem excessively fast to me. I can remember running two heats and wasting a set of tires. Same for foams on road course pan cars back in the day.

Check the crush tube, I'd bet it's either missing or by some accident the wrong size.

I checked that last night when I replaced the bearing. Both sides have the same size crush tube.

Maybe it needs to be replaced?
