DAMN the Raptor body looks hard!!! I need some ideas to G my SC10's out. These things are way more sophisticated than the Slash.

Brian, my SC10 seems slow out of the box for a brushless. Do you have to set the throttle on the controller or program the speed control or something? Maybe it was just cause the Lipo battery I had in it was small? Any info?

To be honest I got lucky and didn't have to set mine, so I haven't got into throttle settings, what gearing you running? I have a 10.5 turn motor and gearing is 23pinion stock87 spur, it gets on it pretty good setup like that

A good lipo helps to, i noticed a huge difference with my new battery... is yours a 2s?

I havent bought any batteries yet. I used one that Danny had at the shop. I havent even peeled the plastic off the truck yet. I just drove it down the driveway. It seemed slow to me? Its a bone stock SC10 Brushless with the 3300kv Brushless motor. I have no idea on the gearing

Be careful with that 23 pinion. That will run your motor way to hot. I have really good luck with a 16 or 17 pinion with a novak 10.5 motor

It will shut down, but it does shorten the life of the motor and speed controller. If you cant touch the motor for more the a couple of seconds after you run it, its to hot.

Joey check to make sure your radio throttle is turned all the way up,this may fix your problem.Also a good 2s lippo does help!Leave the gearing alone it will help the motor last longer.Unless you change to a different motor and esc.

Also you guys running a SC10 add 3oz of lead weight to the back of the chassis under the foam block behind the battery,then put the foam block back.Your truck will handle like never before.

Here is most of my collection, this used to be my hobby before the RZR, not to mention the truck load of stuff I have to maintain these things! Tires, starter boxes, chargers, spare parts etc.....
My pride and joy is not in the picture, my original 80's Tamiya Bruiser, I put the manual and the trans in the pic since it is being rebuilt. I have all the original parts for it except for the body.
