APE Battery Trays are $5 off this weekend!

Hey guys, I'm a little late, but I wanted to have a little sale this weekend. APE battery trays will be $5 off until Monday morning.

Have a great holiday weekend and remember our active duty and veteran military members who have sacrificed so that we can have our freedom.

Thanks,


Chris

Just came in here to say the APE battery tray is a worthwile upgrade!
Never regretted buying it. If you have an SCTE 1.0, get one !

TBH the new BCE chassis looks nice, but it's no SCTE 2.0 or MIP Kit.
It's "just" a chassis with the diff more to the rear.

The SCTE 2.0 has (aside from the diff positioning) better servo mounts, battery mounts, shock towers, TLR hubs etc.

The MIP kit has (aside from the diff positioning) better servo mounts, battery mounts, different shock towers, other shock springs, and the MIP Shock piston system.

You can buy the MIP for $160 - $180 depending on where you are.
Upgrading to use Losi 2.0 parts will probably cost you more than $200.

The new BCE chassis is nice, but it's noway near a MIP kit or 2.0 imho.

Yea but the new BCE chassis still will make a good diffrence and handling jumping and the price pretty good.

The MIP chassis i would just get that for indoor track racing on the big outdoors tracks im not sure its pretty light.
I tried out a SCTE with the MIP conversion from a guy i race with indoors on carpet and it was really good.

If the 2.0 chassis was cheaper maybe i would convert to a 2.0 but its to expensive to do that .

tc5 man

I might take a look at that APE tray next mouth . I tried out the battery toward the rear with the stock battery tray i dint like it jumped to nose high.

So with a 2200Kv motor you can run 2-4 cells and get speed with a good range to be at the track and bash too..? sounds like my next motor

Hey Chuck Looks cool
makes me want to yell out "PANAMA" For some reason
I still cant belive you have been running Our One version for almost two years? WoW Awsome
Great to Hear about your Grand opening!!
I know lots of guys that are real Happy about your New super track..
Keep us posted on your 2.0 Build..

Also Here is a little update for some who are confused with our latest product line up for the Racing SCTE Guys Hope this helps..
Also just for clarification there are 3 BCE chassis's currently offered for the scte
V1 - made for the scte 1.0 truck (the original BCE chassis for this truck)(Above)

(NEW) H1 - made for the scte 1.0 truck to allow it co be converted to a 1.0/2.0 hybrid (hence the H) using the 1.0 front and rear clips/ center with the addition of the 2.0 side guards, f/r chassis braces and battery hold down system (these parts must be purchased separately) This option gives the 1.0 owners the advantage of the new motor/ esc configuration
and utilize all of their High$$ parts that have been accumulated over the past years..

And Finally The
(NEW) V2 - made Just for the SCTE 2.0 truck

I agree but a lot of people including myself have a 1.0 with tons of upgrades and by just getting the new BCE chassis and a new 2.0 battery mount I will have a truck that is just as good if not better than a stock 2.0 or a MIP chassis for about $120.

I'm a new SCTE owner with the following upgrades based on information found here:

HD Diff Cases
HD Lightened Drive Cups
Bump Chissis
Long Durin rear brace
Aluminum front brace

Ran a full day at WCRC with no problems but noticed my wheels were wobbling while the truck was on the stand. Looks like bent CV drives. I searched the thread but didn't find anything specific to the CV's being weak. Can someone set me straight on this? I just rebuilt my diff with the HD upgrades. Now it seems I should have gone with the MIP CV option?

The mip cv was not available as of last night. Most guys are using tekno Cvd's.

If the $98 BCE Chassis included a battery mount and servo mount it might be competitive imho, but currently when the BCE chassis with battery mount is $120 and the MIP Kit is $160 (on EBay) with chassis, battery mount, servo mount, shocktowers, "realshocks" shockpiston kit, shock springs and body cover it seems like the MIP kit is a better deal.

I'm in the same situation btw, I have the KH chassis and hardly any stock parts anymore, so I figure if I'd go for the MIP kit I might have enough spareparts to (almost) build a back-up SCTE

Your assumption on the MIP kit too light for outdoors is off. The top three this weekend at the ROAR E-nats warm ups at LCRC were all MIP trucks. I tq'ed and finished 2nd. Two weeks ago I also won the round three of ROAR region 2 series at the Tiltyard over top of a Losi 2.0 driven by the current series points leader Brian Miskowlszi. Most of my racing is on large 1/8th tracks outdoors also.

Right right right, I ment Techno CVs. Are the stock ones so weak they bend easily?
