I may put another few packs through with the 8.5 although I really need to dial about -50% expo on my throttle curve to keep traction.

I have a pretty decent selection of motors from 3.5 to 13.5 but don't have a 10.5; I want to use either 8.5 or 13.5 as they are shiny (new) blue Losi motors. My slipper doesn't noticably slip on the dirt although slips like crazy on sealed road so I'm thinking it's probably as good as it'll get for off road.

I look forward to more info and pics on your build, sorry for filling up your thread with my pics.
No prob, I like pics!

I will see how the 6.5 does, but I think the 8500 motor (8.5) might be a better bet. What gearing are you using with the 8.5 and what top speed do you think you are getting? I figured that I would gear for about 30-35mph, is that too much? I always geared the pedes and rustlers for 55mph, but I bashed them pretty hard on the street and think the sc10 may need to be a bit more relaxed...
