Yellow Front Spring...
This is the setup that I worked on with the Wachter brothers Jonny and Clint. After the race was over, we learned some more and made the truck fast and easy to drive but it was too late...we'll get 'em next time.
To get the heavier rate front springs, you can also substitute original bronze RC8 front springs until our springs are available. They are a bit longer so it might not be possible to get 24mm ride height without removing a coil or two.

Are you talking about the pre production yellow springs run by AE drivers before the truck was released? They are the same as the "blue" springs that come on the truck...

I need some help here. Last night I drove at my local track (large 1/8 track). The car performed really good overall but... on the largest jump I always got some severe nose diving. The jump must be taken at a high speed and I was almost forced to hold full throttle in the air (from jump to landing) to not land on the nose. I'm having 35/30 AE oil in the shocks and lengthened the shock by two turns. What is the solution to avoid the nose dive? Put heavier oil in the rear? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Nope, yellow 4.8 rate spring...
The setup recenlty posted has listed the use of a Yellow 4.8 Rate front spring. Was just curious if they have hit the market yet since they are showing up on setup sheets. I am getting frustrated a bit that I don't have all the tools I need to tune this truck more for track conditions. Need some different spring rates.

Best motor
Ok, I guess I'm getting back into electric RC just to have something I can race at the local track. I am about to order the SC10 4x4, and probablly a Castle 1410 motor. Before I place my order, I just thought I'd ask if the 1410 is going to work for me. I'll be racing on a small indoor track

and a very large outdoor track, that's a 5th scale in this video.

Is the 1410 going to be enough torque for the small track, while still being fast enough for the big track? I know I'll probablly have to change the gear ratio between the tracks.
Also, I've seen a few speed controls reccomended with this motor, will one of them run cooler than the others? It gets pretty hot around here, and I'll need a speed control that can cope with air temps around 100 degrees.
Thanks in advance for any help, Charlie.

Charlie, the 1410 has more than enough power for whatever track you plan on running.I ran min with a hobbywing sc10 esc, which can be bought for 60-70$, and it ran nice and cool(120deg), btw live in Houston so you know its hot here. I recently switched to a MMP with a LRP 5.5T 550 and like it much more, much smoother, just mmy opinion. I like the bottm end smooth , than ad boost around 10000 rpm for some mid-range torque and top speed. but the 1410 is a solid motor.
