SC10 Build Thread

[Lightin']

Nice step-by-step tutorial and build run-through JD.


I got mine today finally, but it was a a weird situation.

My wife had to sign for the package early this afternoon, but there was visible crushing to the box and she thought part of the shipment was lost so the UPS driver had her fill out a form.
But after inspecting it when I got home from the office there was nothing missing (one complete SC10 kit) but the shipping box was strangely oversize for the single kit. About a half-hour after I got home the doorbell rang and it was the UPS driver holding a crushed SC10 box under one arm, with his clipboard in the other ~ "Here's what was missing out of the box, it must have fell out when they were loading my truck and got mixed in with the other packages. Hope I don't get blamed for this."
I told him that I'd handle it, and took the package from the startled driver who shrugged and headed back down the driveway whistling as he went.
On first inspection of the second kit the only thing wrong was the body was pretty mangled.

I'm going to spend the evening stripping off the FT parts from my T4 and cleaning them for use on the SC10, and then start on my own build tomorrow after work.
Build looks like pretty straight-forward T4 for the most part, so maybe I'll work on the paint first so it has an extra day to cure.

So you received 2 kits?

Several asked for an image of the Traxxas Vs SC10 Chassis. Here you go..

[JDCrow]

Here are some body comparisons. I blocked up the bodies to be close to each other with respect to the Trim Lines.

So basically a stock setup. Right on! Thanks.

Whoops! Forgot to ask what FT parts will work with the SC10. If you know/could tell.

So Far I got:
Servo Saver Nut
Titanium Turnbuckles
Bearings for the steering rack(The same as the FT kit I imagine)

Anything else?

Shocks?

You are correct. I realized that after I ate dinner, and forgot to take a new pic.

Shocks
#1779 Blue Alum Servo Mounts
#3971 Steering Rack Bearings (4)
#1283 FT Turnbuckle Set for T4
FT Milled Motor Plate (blue #1770 or black #1778)
#9610B Servo Saver Bolt
#9665 FT B4/T4 Blue Hinge Pin Plate


Then if you want:
#9635 B4/T4 Sway Bar Kit
#6937 4-40 FT Blue Lock Nuts
#6943 8-32 FT Blue Lock Nuts
#7447 T4 Carbon Arms Front
#7448 T4 Carbon Arms Rear
#7922 GT2 30 Degree Caster Block
#9592 B4/T4 20 Degree Caster Block
#9577 B4/T4 Steering Block Inline (requires #9623)
#9623 FT B4 Front Inline Axle
Any of the Carbon FT T4 Arms Front or Rear
#9567 FT B4/T4 Carbon Top Plate

Not sure on the CVD's yet. Manual list T4/GT2 Dogbones, but I am guessing the appropriate CVD length may depend on if your using the Ball Diff or Gear Diff, since the Transmission case is different for each. Kurt or Rick may be able to speak to that.

Thanks! So basically all of the T4 parts then.

Now if I can just get one. I am told that my local Hobby People should have some on Friday so I will have to call them and see. They are offering it for like $179 so... We'll see

You dont need the HD Servo Saver Spring. Its already in the kit.

Front Shock Tower on the SC10 is slightly different to account for mounting the Front Body Mount.

The Carbon Battery Strap cant be used on the SC10.

The Light Weight Outdrive set is for the Ball Diff.

Other than obviously the Chassis, knock yourself out.
