MudLife SC10

hey everyone . i just picked up a AE sc10rs 2wd brushless rtr.. well i drove the truck for a little while today just trying to get the hang and feel for it.. well when i would accelerate i would hear a clicking.. i tried searching for the issue and i think i might of found some threads on the kits needing shims in the diffs but i found nothing for a RTR.. any ideas? i'd hate to break something before i have more than 1/2 hour of runtime on the truck.

thanks

Unless the kit version comes with the shims, there would be no reason not to follow the advice from the threads you have found.

I picked up two of the RS RTR vehicles a few months back and they both had the clicking noise from the diff after about 15 minutes of drive time. Contacted AE and they send out a shim kit for each one. The shim kit is just a couple of....well, shims. Not sure of the thickness, but I'm sure you could buy some at your LHS.

I had the same "clicking" issue with my truck. I took the diff apart cleaned it and regressed it. This fixed the issue. Never tried the shim thing, but that might work too. Good luck!

The shim kit has been a fix for the gear diff for a while, it was an issue even with the original SC10s. You just have to add 1 inside the diff for better meshing of the spider gears and you'll never have an issue again.
