hey! Ass! I just forgot to re-adjust!

You have another theory? We fix the major weakness in this truck for nothing, guys start busting drive line parts, and crying like a bunch of sisies.

My theory is that now the truck will put power down, it's chewing up the weakest part of the drive line due to deflection. That would be the idler in the rear. Maybe it breaks teeth off from shock loading. Maybe from deflection.

The horrible price we pay to be a second a lap faster.

No no... You called them morons. I did 'just' what they did. I was just joking around. Lighten up!

It's chewing up on the weakest part of the driveline that's clearly the idler gears, like you said, because of deflection.

Plus the placement of it it's nowhere near perfect (curve shaped instead of straight drivetrain).

It requieres you to run a loose slipper setup, want it or not.

I'm still faster than I ever was with an almost locked down slipper.

So I'm wondering if & when AE comes out with their pinned shaft that the top shaft gear and/or the idler gear may be wider and of a stronger material. Kyosho did this with their rb5 idler gear, it's their SP idler gear.

im just about to order this ride and im wondring what beff ther is whit it in durabilety ??
like what ekstra spare parts do i need to order right away??
my shopping lidt isfor now:
kit sc10 4x4
sway bars front and rear
FACTORY TEAM HIGH TORQUE SLIPPER PAD

im hoing for some helpfull replyes thanks

btw im from denmark so sry for miss spelling and grama fault

If you mean "beef with durability" It's a Rock. The only thing you need to get really is RPM a-arms and that's because of sag in the stock ones, not breaking. There is nothing that is a true weakpoint in the truck that warrants lots of spares.

seriusly?? no week spots damm thats great
cant wait to get it what setup in diff´s are recomentet on a large 1/8 scale loose track ???

If you're not running a Pinned rear shaft. (please read the last 30 or so pages for info about that) Then 5k rear, 30k front would be a middle ground. Other's will suggest differently probably, but that's the average around here.

Pinned, more like 5k rear, 10k front.

You have a tuning future.

loool well thats the best part i love playing around whit my rc thats 1 off the reason i just sold my nexx sc10 it was just to simpel and easy to get runnig smooth
and well the ae 2wd iss a killer here people dont break any thing on them so if the 4x4 is the same qualety its going to rock

I know that lots of folks dissagree with me. but I have an opinion aswell
I have tested it. I have tested everything I could with this truck
But this whole topshaft pinning is highly exaggerated.
I see folks claiming that they are a whole second a lap faster.
Claiming that this truck has a massive acceleration now, opposite then before
The biggest effect this topshaft pinning has is psychological
O yes, you may be a second faster, but it is the driver for sure, not the pinned topshaft, not the whole second that they claim

its a hype

well i dont know about that dont have it befor a week ore soo
but i think ill start whit it std. whit swaybars on and the FACTORY TEAM HIGH TORQUE SLIPPER PAD and play whit the diff olies and suspention olie


ive see and read people run 30k / 5k in it when its std. slipper
any other helpfull updats??

im going to run the novak ballistik 4,5T std rotor and ordering a 11, 12, 13 pinion to run against the 32p 62T spur gear


a ekstra question howe long must the wier be betwin the motor and esc in the std. setup ??

im asking becous i got the "traxxas" edition off the novack combo whit wiers on it and 4mm. plugs so im wondring if i need to put on new wiers ore i can run it like it is???

again hoping for some helpfull awnsers

Twice now, You're really tiring to listen to.

I have an opinion too. Please just sell the truck and get a Losi so we can move on.

If there are people who are seriously running faster laps, and there are pro's who are running fster lapes, then it must not be hype. I cannot say that a pinned topshaft will be better for everyone and every track condition, but as you can see from others opinions on this site, they claim to be faster. Further more, how can you prove it is a placebo effect?

And Craig, there is no reason to call people morons. It is not as if this is a mod that has been done by everyone, knowing how it should be properly set up. When trying something new, there are sometimes unintended consiqueses due to unseen variables.

The freak, the only thing I have broken has been a shock shaft end. My front bumper skind ikid is pretty worn, and I also wore out the rear skid. Oh, and I also wore out the annodize on the inide of one of my shocks. lol. and as previously stated by others, the stock a-arms have a tendency to sag or bow.

ok so i need front a-arms from RMP and that sounds about it thats great.
it will be nice to go to track whit out tons off spar parts
