I've been running the Turnigy Nanotech 5300's lately with no fitment issues, other than It being tight in the bulkhead cup

Ahh good tip long main, I see why you need it

What servo do you run? Seems to have a pretty small footprint, hard to see on my iPhone

That's a Futaba 9650 1/12 scale digital servo (with servo saver) but I usually run a Futaba 9551 Metal gear digital without a servo saver....much better

Does that RPM bulkhead move the shock tower back compared to the stock bulkhead? I ask because I've always had clearance issues with newer bodies rubbing the top of the rear shocks at the front of the body's tower bump, and it looks like you were using the jconcept illusion body which should have had the same issue. Has anyone shimmed the rear tower forward, and mounted the shocks on the back like the T4. Would mounting the shocks like that affect the suspension characteristics?

I raised the rear mount slightly up for clearance, only an issue with the high flow-

Interesting, I've mounted a Proline T4 Crowd Pleazer with the rear mounts raised like you did and I still have clearance issues. I wonder if I went to a thinner shock tower this would fix my issue. My current tower is pretty thick (around 3.3mm).

So which T4 castor blocks are the correct ones to use on a 10T?

If you use 25 degree you will end up with 30 degree castor (0) and if you use 20 degree you will end up with 25 degree castor (-5).

30's will give you 35 degrees castor (+5)

I run the same batteries and added a small folded square of foam into the bulkhead. Easier fit.

Ok that was what i thought but i want to make sure!

Update for this model:
Currently set-up for our local parking lot "rally" runs on bumpy, gravel strewn pavement
with a few home-built jumps, etc.

Pro-Line Road Hawg tires.
Freshly rebuilt 2.25 Stealth transmission with 81/21 gearing.
Novak GTB-2 speed control with SS Pro 8.5T sensored motor.
Savox 1251-MG servo.
Airtronics 2.4 GHz Rx/Tx.

Runs great!

Sweet truck, does it handle noticeably better with the big bores?

I didn't own the truck before it had the big bore shocks, so I can't really compare, but I can say it is very well damped and handles very nicely with the current setup.

I see you are running the factory team rear hub carriers now what CVD's or CVA's are you using? I know those hubs would push your width out a bit and the standard RC10T CVD's/CVA's would end up short.

I hope that "Charlie don't surf" can help answer this question.

((I bought the truck from him,
and I don't know exactly what axle/bone combo it uses... ))
