BTW mines for sale

Whatca gotz?

Im out for 2 weeks, I need to rebuild my ball diff and install my CVDs.

I’m going to pick mine up around 4:30. I think I’m just going to pick up the charger and battery there. Maybe they will cut me a deal if I buy it all at once. There goes another $500 on a Christmas present for myself…

HPI RS4 2…AWD touring like we talked about on page 6

Here is a good site that helped me when i first got my SC10.

I was actually on there last night trying to figure out where I was going to start with the upgrades and if there was a particular order in which they should be applied. I found alot of good stuff, but I need to pick mine up and see what it has and what it will need.

Maybe you can give me some input on what to look for?

My RTR motor and radio was upgraded first, then I bought every factory team part i could get, a ball diff and CVDs.

I bought the brushless, is that different than the RTR motor?

If you got the RTR brushless kit (i did at first) it comes with a Reedy brushless motor. Mine burned out the first week, I guess its a common problem on the RTR kits, so I just upgraded the motor and esc right away.

Yeah its a LXT, I brought it back to my place from my parents basement last night. I think I probably bought it in 1992, thats the last time I raced ha.

^^^ Ohh snap! i remember that bad boy. 1992 would have been the year, the following year you switched to 1:1 scale. LOL

X…

I’ll be out tomorrow night practicing at Glenwood if anyone wants to help me out. I’m new to all this and I have no idea what I’m doing. I still can’t figure out all the battery charge/discharge features and how to do it. Also there is a ton of controls on the controller itself that I have no idea what they do.

They are usually pretty straight forward.
Got a link to the kit?

Triton EQ is the one I bought. I’m totally new to this so I don’t quite get it yet.

So I spent the night watching football, having a few drinks and working on this for a while:

I was working on installing the camera that I use for my helmet cam for snowboarding and mountain biking. Most of the time was spent fixing the bracket for the camera since I broke it when I took a spill on the bike.
