Hope this helps, Glenn

Just wanted to share an experience I've had with my scte

Im running a rx8 and 4600 pro 4 combo, I have the tlr tuning kit. Tlr chassis, ti turnbuckles and am running a 14 pinion with the stock spur. I'm running 7-5-2 in the duffs and emulsion shocks with 32.5 front and 27.5 rear with associated oil.

My problem is with killing batteries, I've puffed up a Orion carbon pro 6500 may 90c and then a reedy 5500 60c the following club race, my temps are not terrible (175) but it seems the pro4 is pulling too many amps for the batteries??

The esc is set up with no drag brake, 80 current limit, tp3 (linear) with timing profile 1, the lowest

What are you guys experiencing with this tekin setup, should I drop pinion size, i see some pros running 12-13, and then others running 14-15 with similar setups

Suggestions welcomed. Thx!

Thanks again guys.

I dug into my SCTE over the weekend trying to find out why the rear end is getting so loose. The suspension seems free enough. The chassis actually has more flex with the plastic braces than I remembered. Then I got to the shocks. The shock shafts are really dull. I chucked one up in my drill and buffed it up with metal polish. It was shiny and smooth and felt much freer in the shock afterward. I've ordered the TiN shafts, so this was just to prove my theory. Next up I noticed that the oil was pretty black, I had changed the oil recently but I thought that the seals were just bad and letting dirt by. I cleaned the body with mineral spirits and looked at the bore. There is a large spot on one side where the piston has worn the anodizing away. I'm sure that between the rough shafts and worn bodies I'm getting a lot of friction. So now I've got the HA bodies, bleeder caps and TiN shafts on order. I'm sure that will help quite a bit.

I also tried taking the rear brace off the truck to see how much more it would flex. I might try running without it. I think I'd also like to try making a rear brace similar to the Fioroni 8B brace that will allow the chassis to flex a little more but keep it from bending in a crash.
