Remove one of the slipper pads and see if that outer plate slides on further than the thickness of the pad or not. It may be bottoming out on the round part of the shaft. If this is the case then you can add shims to the slipper bearing, this gives the outer slipper plate more room to move before bottoming out.

I'm planning out my electronics for my upcoming SC10 4x4, I definitely plan on running a 540 motor (and probably doing the saddle pack mod as well). What have you guys found to be the closest equivalents to the 550 sized motors? I want the general power/speed of a 550 4.5, I'm stuck between a 5.5 or 6.5 540 motor (I do plan on running a 13mm rotor in whatever I go with). What do you guys think would be comparable to a 550 4.5?

if your bending cva's and your not crshing, your cva's are catching on the diff outdrives. to check this, fully compress the a-arm, (dont just bottom the truck out on the ground) then turn the wheel or cva to check to see if it catches, if so, then put in some limmiters.

I love my Castle 1410 3800.
Very smooth, and once you do the torque testing it becomes EVEN SMOOTHER!
Obviously, on a Castle ESC (I run the MMP)
Plenty of low and mid-range power, falls short of top-end power, but not really necessary unless you run on a very open track. In that case you should've chosen the Losi in the first place
People say the TenShock has more top end power, but I'd rather have the high RPM range under control. And if the track requieres it, overgear the Castle a little bit and get that extra speed.

Though, I guess during a crash, where one wheel hits the ground....OK...maybe that makes sense...but normally once I see my truck is cartwheeling, I let go of the throttle....

I'm still confused as to how anyone is getting their wheels to bounce up farther than when the truck bottoms out....I mean, I know that without springs and shock oil, momentum could push them that far, but in a real world situation, with the oil already slowing things down and the springs pushing them in the other direction, I just don't get it....

I understand how to force the truck to do this on the bench, but in a real world situation, I don't see it happening....

you're actually getting enough traction to have the truck roll so much through a corner that it bottoms out? Or are you saying that you are landing the truck on one side or the other, rather than on all 4 wheels...

Sc10 4x4 weights about 5lb going in a straight line ,..
Take a sharp turn and weight becomes way past 15lb due to the G forces...

My truck was coming off the straight and hitting the roller then the berm. The problem was the truck would hit the berm pretty fast and with all the weight and force on the left front wheel, surely compressing it fully and causing the cva to get clipped by the groove in outdrive.
I added about 4-5mm of fuel tubing to counter this.

Slipper issue = MTK clutch basket, or these new AE parts that are coming out.
Pinion issue = locktight and proper allen key
Actually the slipper deal isn't that bad, it's probably saving your tires a ton of wear and making the truck easier to drive.
The losi truck is wack, same old same old, 3 diff car. Better get a bigger motor/esc and better lipos for that pig...

At "our" track, at the end of the front straight there is a bermed (pretty steep) right hand 180* corner. There's alos a smallish roller right before the berm.

Thanks for describing that situation...I see how you could end up with this "overcompression" of a suspension arm in a real world scenario now.
