OK mine's ordered and I can't wait to start the build. I already have a dialed SCTE Lucy and want to try the ae truck to compare. I will be running a 1410 with mmp on 7.2 v 5000mah packs. What are ya'll gearing these at? Temps?
Also run on a huge outdoor track with red clay. dosn't blue groove and gets dry and dusty from time to time. (the track is 190 feet shy of a quarter mile for one lap) What are ya'll doing for tire selection on these tracks?
Check out www.capefearrcraceway.com for a track vid for suggestions. Thanks in advance!

Tech Adept
Hey guy's, my son ran his for the first time last night. There were 5 other sc10 4x4's there. in each of the heat races, at least 3 had a rear whell fall off including my sons. Guys were cranking the wheel nuts so tight, that the rear drive was binding. Also, the cvd pins on the rear fall out when there's no wheel on! By the end of the night, 3 broke, my son was in a hurry to get the battery in his truck, reversed the battery leads and smoked his havoc pro! All the ae 4x4's finished at the bottom the losi's were WAY faster, and took the top 5 spots followed by a couple of durangos! Any solution besides drilling and tapping for a set screw to keep the cvd pins in?
tia.

That Cape Fear track is SICK! You'll have to be VERY conservative with gearing, I ran a big 1/8 scale track in Georgia like that (PsychoNitroBlast) and temps would get up there since there was such long stretches.
Nevertheless I want to make a road trip up there!

Yep, the tracks a giant. We are around the raleigh area about three hours west of charlotte. All are always welcome and the races are updated on the front page of the track website early enough to know if we'll be rained out or not.
check the schedule some huge races comming up....rc pro series is soon.
would be worth the trip...army dave and staff runa a goood show, but expect an all day race day, cause they accomodate 9 classes. great for people running multiple classes though!
there is also an indoor track in greensboro that races on wed nights (get two races in while here for work!!!!!!!!!! Indoor track is insane with the traction. people are running slicks with sauce on them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You have to love kids. My six year old walks in and sits down on my lap. He looks up at me with big blue eyes and says..."Dad will we be gettin two of the new disociated trucks?" I said no son, just one. He says with a little smirk, "Well dad, I'm gonna enjoy the dissociated, cause you know the Losi is just old technology, and your old too so you will like it!" HMMMMMMMM....Yep......his mother's son with his daddy's Passion. Oh well if his drives good, I guess we will be gettin another one.
This from the same kid that said adam drake is the best driver ever, and when asked who adam drake tries to beat answered " Well duhhhh Rhonda Drake...everyone knows that!!!
AHHHHHH the next generation. 25 years of rc racing did not prepare me for this much fun!!!

I will say this rig will be a bitch to work on though, as has already been mentioned. It's a pretty complicated design. Maintenance will not be fun.
Also, getting a 16t pinion on was not a good time, since it can't be installed with the motor out of the rig. The pinion is too big to fit through the hole in the motor mount plate, so you have to push the motor through, and then mount the pinion, which doesn't leave much room. This is even more difficult when trying to fanagle a 5mm pinion onto a 3mm motor shaft using an adapter sleeve.

I went through my truck again just to make sure everything was right. When I first put it together, I didn't do anything with the shocks since I just wanted to get it up and running. Run 2 qual, 1 main, and a bunch of practices over 2 days, and nothing fell apart.
The shocks do need some looking into, mainly just to add loctite and rescrew the cap tighter. Other than that, it was put together well.
I looked at my hex again, and there's no way you can strip this thing unless you didn't mount the hex correctly. The CVD pins shouldn't be an issue again if you mount everything correctly. Looking forward to another day at the track. I added about 3-4 oz of weight to the non battery side to get them to balance correctly, and it seems to help.
