Losi XXX-SCB Thread
#1996
Caspers SCT setup is a good place to start if your looking for something to follow.
I had 6 or 7 7g weights down each side, with it biased towards the front (on my truck I also has weights added up by the shock tower but cant remember if i did this on the SCB too) Id usually run 35wt up front with a blue buggy spring, 32.5 out back with pinks or what was originally the front silver spring on the xxx. By limiters in the springs, I mean you add spaces inside the shocks on the shaft so at full extension the shock is shorter. Don't need a ton of clearance on carpet IMO. the Rear camber was at least -2 i'd usually be a little more with new tires and Id back off as they wore some. Front I was around 1.5 but its also vary with tire choice. I run a mini pin or mini spike type tire (dBoots or Schumacher). I will cut the outer row, sometime two rows of pins off the front tire, and then wrap the outer edge with electrical tape, this will allow it to slip as its gets up on edge before it traction rolls. I usually barely cover what was the outer row of pins I cut, the bulk of the tape is on the sidewall. too much tape and it'll push like a MoFo on ya.

Looks like this has been discontinued. To bad, I have a lot of fun with mine, also easy for new drivers to learn on

I sold my xxx SCB and got the TEN SCBE and I love the SCBE, but I really miss the simpliscity of the xxx SCB. Been looking to buy another one ever sense.
