FZRC (Sarasota)
Track was premo!!!
Ran the SC10 in the first qual, VERY NICE. Have the NEW Speed Passion GT 2.0 esc and the Novak 13.5 motor in it. Good speed and GREAT handling. Only setup change was the move of the rear shock to the top shock mount to the "0" hole.
Ran the XXX-SCT in the second qual, was surprised by how well it handled!!! The only change was the removal of the front sway bar and the installation of a rear sway bar!
Remember I was having diff gear problems and have changed to a metal diff gear, two weekends and NO diff problems. Had the Castle Sidewinder SCT esc and 4600 motor in it.
Choose to race the SC10 in the a-main, qual 9th. By turn two I was 5th, turn three I was 12th :-( By lap 4 I was in 8th, just behind 5th, 6th and 7th when we tried to pass a couple racers. Two hit me, I hit the pipe and that remove both links (steering and camber) on the right front!!! Limped around the track to where I was, seen what was wrong, walked over to my pit took some links off the T4 truck and got back into the race with 45 sec's to the finish!! Still didn't finish last, another racer broke before I did!!

I have a pile of 6 FRIED ESC's and 3 FRIED motors in the past year! :-(
BUT :-), the Speed Passion GT 2.0 has been replaced under sellers warranty, last week SWEEEET!!!
Decided to have another look at the two Castle esc's. The led won't lite on the Sidewinder esc STILL so I'm guessing its really and truly DEAD!
Tried the Sidewinder SCT and it would take a PC link programing. << HOPE rises!!
Put it in the AE SC10 and it would not program to the radio!!! As I was looking at the esc/motor in the SC10, I remembered that you can switch the wires going from the esc to the motor to reverse the direction of the motor. Ding DING DING The radio throttle control maybe set to the wrong direction. Changed the setting and BINGO the esc is working!! The esc WAS in the Losi XXX-SCT and was set for that SC.
That makes only 4 FRIED ESC's and 3 FRIED motors.
===
Picked up a Speed Passion Cirtix Insire 2.0 as a backup, now have MORE esc's than RC trucks!!!

Avid bearings has QUICK shipping, received 3 sets of motor bearing in 3 days. All my motors are ready to go! :-)
