Default who's buying all the 8.5s?

I can't find an 8.5 brushless motor anywhere. is everyone buying them for their SC10s?

would a 7.5 be too hot?

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!!!!!

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

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

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" !!

Who in they're right mind would ever want to run Stock motors

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