awesome build. i just picked one up over the weekend. What size pinion are you using?

hootie7159 11.18.2008 01:28 PM

I'm currently geared 16/46 w/ MMM and a Neu 1515 1/y/f....any higher and the wheel spin is too much..well....depending on your track....but I put a 19T for asphalt speed runs and it FLIES!!!....and (i believe some on here already mentioned it) the tires screech when you turn and it sounds just like the real thing!!!:surprised:

Will a set of badlands buggy tires clear under the body?

hootie7159 11.18.2008 01:44 PM

the diameter and widths of the tires on the sc8 are just slightly smaller in dimension on the sc8...liks probably a couple millimeters...and by the way if you saw how dirty my truck was last week I highly recommend AMSOIL power foam engine cleaner....I waited 2 days before I cleaned my truck and the mud was caked on and hard....I sprayed this stuff on it...let it soak for about 5 min...came back and everything hosed right off...its clean again yay!!!and i went the extra mile and coated everything in RZ-50 (its a dry film lubricant) so nothing sticks when it goes mudding!!...again...

The savings from amain is good, but my wife would absolutely kill me. I was thinking more along the lines of using a $60 off coupon code at tower and doing the 3 payment deal. It only ends up being about $38 more, but I would get to keep my rear-end intact.
