Losi 1/10 TEN-SCTE ARR 4x4 Short Course Truck Thread

I find it interesting that posts like this surface when you dont know exactly what we are trying to do. We need 12-20000 pins of which we would like to get 3000 of them in the next week for customer service. We requested quotes and have been leaning on places to get them back but most are having trouble finding stock this fast and thus cannot quote us until they find enough stock. Heck, I even hit up Chris to see if he could do it.
We do listen and we are trying which is what I've been saying all along.

Mamba Monster 2650/18 th pinion
Gens Ace 3S 40c 5000 and Blue Lip 30c 5000
AKA Enduros Super Soft on DE Wheels
5/3/3 in the diffs
stock shock oil and springs
Pitch it in the corners, power slide, off power steering, just enough power transfer to the rear to bring it around on power with 3k in the center diff and rear. The track was super dry with dusty blue groove. With this setup it was a blast.
With heavy Mamba Monster setup and 3S bats all it really needs is a heavier shock oil/spring package.
Had a couple of lawn darts, a couple of pipe slams, and two perfectly executed wheels-up pancakes.
Only damage to report is a bent rear shock tower, a couple cracks in the rear of the body and a stress mark where the right side rear bumper mounts to the tower. Ordered the machined aluminum towers last week from Nitrohouse so good to go there. Haven't checked the diffs yet but have a set of Chrispins on the bench already.
This truck will be a keeper.
One other comment is that I would not recommend the Blue Lipo on this setup. It can't push out enough juice to keep up with MMM. Puffs and gets warm. The Gens Ace bats are the ticket. Great run time, no puffing or overheating, and take 5200+ mah on a recharge.

I run about the same set-up as you. I run a 2400kv tho. I agree, The rear shocktower bends too easy. I did however buy the machined version and have yet to bend it.
This truck kicks, I was lucky to get the Good batch with the right hardened pins. I changed my front shock oil to 27.5 and 30wt in the rear, I drive on a rather loose track and it absorbs the bumps pretty well.
Good to see a picture with some dirt on it. You actually drive it, rather live here on the forums.

I plan on driving the absolute snot out of it. My shock towers and 2400 kv motor show up on Monday! My pins are worn after a couple of packs but I have a hardened set from Chris. This probably already posted, but what is the stock weight shock oil? I'm definitely soft in the front.
thanks.

Saturday update time.Ran another full day and practice on my rig, this is I think the 4th sat in a row for racing and 10 hr daze at the small indoor clay track.Very happy to report absolutely no damage at all,no broken bumpers,no broken arms ,nothing coming loose or pulling out.I have been running the same diff pins that came with the truck and diffs still feel like butter,just changed shock fluid to 27.5 frnt and 32.5 rear,running 5-5-2 and all I can say for the 4th time is I Love this Truck!!!Again nothing negative to report in 4 strait race daze!!!!!! I am either the worlds best driver(not even close) or very lucky (can`t win a$1.00 lotto) or some of these trucks are just perfect!!!!!!

gotta tech question for everybody,
alot of people are saying that using 5-5-3 in the diffs are a good set up. wondering if I went just a little heavier on the grease like say 15-15-10 or somthing thats about the same ratio, would the balance still be the same for on power steering as the 5-5-3 setups feel, or would it be way off because less diff action with heavier weights?
just curious in case of slightly ruff track in the begining of out door season which is fast approching.

I went to that page for the diff pins and I hit the submit by email button but nothing happens. Are you supposed to see some indication that your message went? I don't want to keep hitting it and send them multiple messages, but I want to know something went through.
