I figured it was sales gimmick.

I thought it was more than 469 maybe I’m wrong

Inner fenders doing a decent job of keeping the filth out!

Sweet! I'd probably buy one of those fender kits if one was specifically made for the SCT410 2.0

What kind of run times are you getting with your 5600mah 2s pack?

 

[islandlife]

The scorched fenders are sweet, however, they are fitted to the body that comes on the rig they are intended for, so i doubt they would make for a kit that has no specific body.
Havent timed the run time, but if i get it out in the next couple days ill time it. Not too bad though, depending on track conditions

I know my 3665 4000kv G3 motor is a handful at full power (2S). It definitely has me working on throttle control. If I could squeeze a 15T pinion on the SCT I would (I know, and no I'm not getting the MT motor mount). A 15T pinion would be perfect for me.

It was a toss up between the three 3665 G3 motor options which would be best for me. I really didn't want to do the 3S thing with the 2400kv motor, but that was my backup plan if the 4000kv did not perform well.

Seeing your 2.0 ride and the 3200kv G3 motor running on 2s has me thinking again. I look forward to your findings .

Thats funny, i went 3200kv as i primarily wanted to run 2s, but with the occasional 3s rip. But the esc runs too hot running 3s with the 17/18/19 pinions i have.
My track is so small and tight i feel i could probably go down to a 14 pinion and get away with both voltages. But will likely just one 2s for a while before i spend the money on a new mount.

7:40 for a cnhl 5600 2s pack this evening.
Some of my best laps around the track as well!

Kudos . I can honestly say I've never tore down (all at once) an RC that far before... unless I'm getting ready to sell. Definitely would be a winter time event for me.

 

[islandlife]

Couple hours to tear down and clean, couple/few hours to re-assemble. Was a decent rainy day project

 

[9x19]

Your battery strap is dirty... three demerits!

Great job on the cleaning.

What did you find in the center covered diff?

What did you find in the center covered diff?

Not much, a little surface rust on the pinion gear, and a bit of dirt.
The most damage was the front of the center driveshaft, some pretty deep grooves worn into it.

 

[luke66]

I wanna Tekno lol. Maybe after I build up the Slash 4x4. I also got a bunch of Typhon work to do too. Ugh, money evades me. lol

You got a good groove going on there. Mine all look like that. Well, maybe not as big of a groove as yours, but my four year old 2.0 buggy's shaft is still holding on with all the Freddy Kruger scars. I'm always pulling rocks out after a run.

That happens on our 6s Kraton. I need to get some mud guards for it. Rocks get caught in the openings of the a-arms and grind on the driveshafts.

What a fun rc!

If you really wanted to get jiggy with it-you can pull your front and rear diffs out, and flip them over, and stick them back in.. Then your center driveshaft would be spinning the opposite direction when moving forward, so the rocks wouldn’t have a tendency to be sucked IN, but kicked OUT.. You would just select servo reverse, or depending on your motor/esc; swap two of your phases. Just a thought.

The way I see it, you'll still have debris doing the same thing... just from the other side.
