Well I'll check with him to see how busy work is right now and if he can fit it in. Hopefully he can get it in, I want one, and if he spends the time to program 1 running 10+ takes no time at all.

STRC's steering assembly is two piece as well. Confound you, servo saver!!!!

Yeah, I know I baby my gear. Money is always tight. And this addiction isn't cheap. Being electronics are the most expensive parts. They have to last.

I hear ya, but since I race 17.5 blinky, you need to be geared perfectly to be competitive. I'm even considering replacing my Novak with a revtech since I hear those motors have a good advantage over other 17.5s out there now.

Asharus is right. For blinky racing you almost don't have a choice but to run your motor at the edge of disaster.

The Revtech motors are really great for blinky racing on an SC10 but they run pretty hot. 2 others that are doing really well at our track are the Team Powers Plutonium and the Reedy Sonic. They run a lot cooler and pull just as hard.

Awesome How full are you talking? (ex. 75%, almost brimming over) Did you put the sun gears in first? I know 30% full typically becomes closer to 70% when you put the gears back into the diff.

Are you referring to this setup? What kind of track setup/conditions are you running on?

You loose some straight line stability but I believe you'll gain some corner speed.

Default Trans problems

Well, got my new Orion motor in last night and was running around. It seems that this has a lot more torque than my last motor.

It seems that my transmission is slipping though. I loosened the slipper enough, tested it. It got about an inch and a half up before it started to slip.

I went through 2 back tires by stripping in the inside. Thought that was it, however, when the car gets hot, i can hear it spinning, but the wheels are hardly moving.

I took tranny out last night, took out the ball diff and inspected it, didnt see any damage at all.

If i lift it off the ground, spin 1 side tire, the other side hardly moves at all if any. Normally it will spin with it or the opposite way.

Any ideas?

Hey guys i am new to the SCT thing. I am getting ready a Ft SC10 and am getting the body ready to paint I have the Proline Flotek, are there any tricks you guys have for cutting out all of the air vents the large one on the hood and a couple of the ones in the rear dont seem to be to bad but the smaller ones on the fenders look like they could be a little challenging.
Thanks
