I have a 7.5 and a fu bared lipo and it was still getting me into all sorts of problems, even with the slipper whaling, when I got a whole lap spot on though whooooo!!!!! :lol:

If I had a good Lipo in a good 10.5 or maybe 9.5 would be perfect for a Friday night.

On the friday night tracks with the bare floor and technical sections a 10.5 is perfect I reckon. When at Talywain or Cobra outdoor you will have no problem with 7.5 then I reckon..........

But can you honestly be bothered to change? Unless you put in a 7.5 and turn it down on tranny?

10.5 for me all the way, but then I'm still a pretty poo driver :woot:

a 19T money motor does it for me hehe

it's slow enough I don't crash as much :thumbsup:

pants outdoors though, although easy to drift

just bought an x12 7.5 off shanks.

I'm going to turn the throttle exp right down for a very 'soft curve' - maybe even back off the timing on my speedo as well.

of course, there's no rule that says I absolutely have to use full throttle all the time :lol:

at first i had the soft curve setting on the handset - but after reading the rc10 forum ( sorry jimmy for noting another forum) and filled the diff with black greese you will be amazed on how much power you can put down.

im thinking 6.5 for taly lol!! but nothing more than an 8 for club

There is more set-up talk on this forum for the SC10 than all other 1/10th buggies combined. This is mental for a truck which we race for fun but I won't lie to you Bryn "I LOVES IT" !! :thumbsup:

If it's dry the 4.5 is on standby for Tally... wheelie tastic

Pleased to help Scott, glad the fns got there nice and quick......

I see LOTS of threads on here with people "struggling" to find parts and locate them at many of their favourite/local stores, many times I know or think that we have them here in stock, so its makes sense to offer our help if the person asking has not already been in touch with us. It helps us and the guy who is in need too....
