Just curious if the castle 2400kv 1415 motor will work with the castle sct esc (not mamba max one) on either the 2wd or 4wd sc10 if geared properly?

I ran the RS in my slash for 1/2 a year with a 4.5 550. It worked great however heat was a problem, with a fan max temps would be in the 110-120 range after a 12 minute heat. If the fan failed which it did from time to time temps would shoot up to 170-190 range, when I replaced the speed control I cleaned the RS and found the FET's had melted the inside bottom of the case........BB

Three of us here at Track Star ran Tekin RS Pro's all last year in our Jammin trucks with 550 and 540 motors.

The 4.5 & 5.5 550's would run about 130 with the ESC at 140-150.

The 7.5 & 8.5 540's would run about 160-180 with the ESC at 120.

The same is true now with the SC10 4X4.

I have the shocks mounted on the middle hole of the shock towers and the inside a-arms from the instructions. Did you use the outside holes in the a-arms or the shock tower or both? thanks for the info. (and I have the boots on)

Nothing, well not nothing. Leave the chassis screw that holds the rear plate by the end of the motor out so you can flex the plate out of the way as you "snap" the motor in. The chassis is really close to the end of the motor, probly touches it, but I didn't grind anything to make mine fit. Geared 13/62.

Not the shocks, the camber linkage, where the ballstud mounts to the shocktower, should be on the outerhole, not the inner hole.

I couldn't wait for the Associated sway bars so I added my own. Jammin CRT.5 hardware and homemade bars using K&S music wire. I made them in 1mm, 1.5mm and 2mm sizes. This should help handling on relatively flat high grip tracks and in high speed turns.


Front and rear sets.

Anyone else notice that instead of moving the ballstud, swap the tie rod and the camber link? When I built it by the book, I had alot of camber and the toe was way off. Checked the book several times and was built right, and then decided to swap the two. Fixed both issues. Maybe a a misprint?
