![]() Equipped with a rugged shaft-driven 4WD drivetrain and waterproof electronics, this edition of the torment can tear through turf in even the most brutal conditions. The 1/18-scale Torment SCT won’t back down from taking on rough terrain or the trials and tribulations of the most brutal drivers. Whether you’re new to RC driving or just want a rig that can handle just about anything thrown at it, the Torment comes ready to go the distance. No matter its competition, this unbeatable SCT stands apart for its unbeatable value, durability and no-nonsense approach to hitting the pavement. It won't handle as good on road, but you'r diff problem will be gone.The ECX Torment SCT has been a standout among the world of RC bashing ever since it was introduced. If your mostly planning on running yours in grass and hard off road conditions, I would suggest locking your diffs with jb weld which could be had for around $7. IF you factor in compensation for one's time, your pushing close to the original price of these rc's, sadly to say. ThanksIt would cost upwards of $70 just for two new diffs, two sets of duratrax diff gears, shims, and shipping. Is there anybody who would be happy to shim a new set of diffs for me (or even put in the mini quake diff gears to a new bulkhead if they are of better quality), I'm happy to pay for all the parts and your time, plus shipping the parts to you and then to me. I just realised that the Duratrax mini quake diff gears are not metal, and I presume the benefits are that one doesn't need to purchase the entire diff bulkhead. I got an ECX Ruckus for Christmas and was very sad to discover I stripped both diffs after running it through grass and doing other silly things on full throttle. They are foam filled and a lot softer than the stock tires. Wont let me post a link but amazon and > /gp/product/B00KQG46VM ![]() Oh and I switched the tires to these for $12 I could take some pics if it helps, mine is taken apart. Small screwdriver and a good light with a little patience is all it takes. Any more info on what you had to do to make them work? Hope to get this ruckus running good enough to pass on to my wife and get a big ruckus or maybe a slash. My son was like "OMG dad why's your car so fast!"Īnyway, I ordered the gears vicious suggested. Damn lipo 2s packs made it a rocket but killed it. I got the diffs shimmed and the problem went away but eventually the axle outdrives rounded out. As you can expect I blew out a diff after a few packs through it. I got my boys each an ECX AMP MT and my wife surprised me with a mini ruckus (because the amp mt was sold out). Been following this thread since Christmas and am thankful for all the info you guys have posted. I'll try to get some pictures up when I get a chance. The gears are abundant since their used in the Himoto 1/18's, Redcat Volcano 18, maverick ions, and hobbyking cars, but I would stick with the Duratrax versions as long as their available. Worst case scenario, I strip the gears, and replace them for a few bucks, instead of having to purchase the whole stock bulkhead for $15. I know their not metal gears, but I think its safe to say that this gear swap is the best solution to the 1/18 ecx diff problems. The power transfer feels really solid, the diff internal mesh seems really good, I used one shim in the rear diff, front diff was good to go, may need to shim it eventually. The setup is a quicrun 30a esc, turnigy 4600kv motor, and 13t pinion. The chrome coating on the rims seem kind of cheep, the chrome peeled off on a small spot where the tire was glued down, I just glued down the spot and so far it is holding.I've ran about five 2200mah 3s packs through my torment so far, with the duratrax diff gears, and outdrives. I managed to get one pack through the Ruckus on those tires, even with the Ruckus converted to 2wd while I wait for a diff, they grip way better than the stock tires.
