Been reading the thread for the last couple nights Great Front page BTW
I just picked up a used sc10 4x4 and will be installing a new Xerun 2.1 120a with either a 5.5 (540) tekin or a 1410 castle motor.
Would you guys recommend 32 pitch for indoor clay or is the 48 pitch ok ? With the 1410 at least
Also what spares are common to keep in your pit box.. I got to get a Amain order coming![Big Grin](https://www.rctech.net/forum/classic_images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Thanks everyone

I have a box full of spares that I've never gotten in to. These things are pretty darn bullet proof. I've replaced the clicker because the nut backed off through use and sheared the tips of the clicker teeth off. Accelerated fine, but would click under hard braking fully tightened down. I had a shock come apart, but that was my fault for not loctite'ing the piston screw. I broke a caster block but only because I was going flat out down the straight and some idiot decided to cut across the track to get to pit lane mid-race and I T-Boned him. All in all, the thing has been amazingly bulletproof.
That may change once the Tekin Pro4 4600 4 pole gets here from tower though

ok guys help me out here im thinking i need a new motor. I what less top end speed. currently im running scx4 5.5t geared 12/62 and its way to fast for the small track i run 10/13 sec lap times..lots of turning and hitting small jumps so i need some punch, thinking also of getting mac clutch basket,,
so should i go with a 540 motor what turn ? or
go with smaller pinion i have a 11t but its still fast.
my transmitter is adjusted also epa set to 88% on forward throttle and i still never hold full throttle more then a sec on a straight
thinking d3 duo 7.5 or 8.5 and if i dont like it i can always run it in my dex410
thanks !
o and the big bores i saw im thinking are from a rc8be ? how do they work ?

Then I would say you had the wrong mesh, too loose. In high powered mod touring car where the traction is quite a bit higher they can get away with 64p gears. Yes, lighter cars but they do take quite a pounding when they crash.
I've been running 48p in mine since I got it and it's been perfect.

In reviewing the chassis setup posts here I started to wonder how temperature comes into play when it comes to shock oil. Here in Phoenix it's pretty common to run in 100+ (many nights over 110). I'm wondering if anyone has experience with the heat and what kind of weights they run.
For example would an 80 degree setup of 35/30 f/r need something like 40/35 or even higher for 100+ temps? Obviously an overly simplified scenario in this case.
Perhaps temps do not have much of an impact on the oil...I really don't know.

Cool Thanks guys, I do plan on sticking with 540 motors so maybe I will try 48 pitch 1st. Since I have all the pinions already.
I have a couple different motor options to try
Hopefully I do not have to take the 550 plunge, most tracks here I will run on are indoor and a tighter layout.
Do you guys carry extra belts with you at the track ? I will order up a clicker assembly and maybe the basics.
