Just ordered my SC10 4x4 last week, should be here tomorrow. This is my jump back into RC racing, have been out for quite a few years, last RC I owned was back when b2's were the hot thing. I have been doing a bit of research on little bits of this and that, I have the Tekin Pro4 4600kv on back order and am debating picking up the Tekin RX8, haven't made a decision on a radio just yet though, just wanted to throw my hellos in there

What most people do is cannibalize the plug by bending the tab inside the pin, requiring a needle to take it out, and breaking the tab in the process.
That is why I recommend the dummy plug instead of removing the wire
@SourDieselX: What's your budget for the radio? Lod, not everyone has $300 ready to be spared on a radio

Holy smokes Batman!!
That makes my plugs cry
Edit: What about running 20k in front diff and 7k in rear for a very tight track? I think 30k might take out too much steering (which trust me, is needed
)

Dont skip out on a good radio. The radio will outlast many of the vehicles you buy. If your on a budget look for a used airtronics M8. Still a very good radio to this day. I have had one since 2000 and it still works awesome. I Just keep mine as a back up in case something happens to my dx3r.

I like the DX3S radio. Has all the telementry options and has a ten model memory. Bought mine on ebay cheap. Check there as well.

You won't believe how much difference a good radio makes. You don't necessarily need an M11x, or 4PK, etc. Used M8 or used M11 can be had for a good price. Spektrum module and receiver for M8 works very well, I sold one I had a few months back. You can also find the older KO (Mars, Mars-R) with the Spektrum modules for a good price. Still a great radio, I have a year 2000 Limited Edition that I'll never part with.
