Default hyper 10sc turning circle sux!!!

Help needed, had my first race the other night on a tight indoor clay track, problem was i found that the truck wanted to push alot in the corners, i found the 4x4 slashes of my mates could easily turn inside me!, is there anything i can do?, i'm only new to the sport and may have the wrong setup or diff oils!, not sure, i;m running bowfighters allround, any ideas or setup hinks would be awesome.......

thanks in advance...

Not a very good title for your thread! There are alot fo things you can do. My first suggestion is to ask this in the hyper10sc thread. There are alot more people there to help you.

Couple things. Go to outer hole on shock tower in the rear. Heavier front diff fluid. Also grind some of the diff case down where the ineer link hits it. This will give you more throw. Mine has too much turning now. You can also go up in the diff fluid in the center.

Also, make sure you have enough front toe out. When I go indoors, I increase my front toe out significantly and it makes a huge difference.

Any way to post some pics? I'm actually in the same boat.

TIA

Thumbs up conversion

I know that people convert their 4x4 slashes into buggies all the time. I always wanted to drive a buggy. Can you convert the hyper 10sc into a buggy?? if so that would be so cool.

Thanks for the tips, I'm just rebuilding the truck now and was told by a mate at the track to try 5,7,2 diff oils (front to rear), do you think that would be ok! Will grind down the diff as well as I put it back together.....

Thanks

you have to do some steering mods to it, to make it turn good, also for the diffs you can do 1,5,1, and that will make it turn really good, but definently do the steering mod

why would you grind down the diff case? juste replace it with losi ball cup and youll be way fine I got a very narrow turning radius... and I never poped the ball cups and my hyper10 is 6LBS

Not sure why peeps buy the wrong vehicles... Not ripping just saying. If you buy a SC truck, it's going to handle like a SC truck, even if you convert it to a buggy. If you want something that handles like a buggy, buy a buggy.

The turning issue was addressed early on in the Hyper thread, it should be towards the front. Lots of pages I know but it has everything you ever wanted to know about your Hyper10.

Thanks Saladfork, I have a hyper9e, rc8te and 2 baja's and while they turn really well that wasn't the question! I already know they have better handling than an sc truck, my local track is very tight and was just chasing sum idea's.

And yes I understand that there is a hyper sc thread but I didn't think it would hurt to ask my specific question for my problem.

^^^ That's the fix right there.

The Jammin was the one that needed the diff grinding with the upgraded ball ends.

I have replaced the balls in the rod ends with traxxas ones and put bolts/nuts all the way through, cause I was popping the ends alot! I,m sure that's the fix you were talking about!
