Make sure you have the left and right hubs on the correct side as they are not swappable. If that checks out, post a pic:D

I used a ball stud washer to space out the bottom shock, seems ok now.

wwoodruff 04-15-2009 11:36 AM

Thanks I will double check the left and right hub.

Between the Slash tires, the SC10 tires, the PL Switch tires. It should be fairly easy to dial our rides in.

wwoodruff 04-15-2009 11:44 AM

You guys are good, hubs on the wrong side! :sweat:

The problem is, everyone always wants to go faster... Slash tires are almost worthless at our track unless they water it before each race.

yeah they take away the hole look of these trucks.cant believe they would even think about making some thing like that.just going to kill the hole point of these trucks.if not the companies would have just slap some pin tires on them.

why not a true looking scale tire that works awsome! even pro-line knew better.and there tire seems to work ok. are you listen J-Concepts???

Any way you can take a picture? Most likely, you've either reversed the rear hubs or mounted the links on the wrong side of the hubs.

dgdcustoms 04-15-2009 12:57 PM

my big brown truck buddy just droped my package off.so now i am off to build my SC10:D:D:D:D

Um... this is what happens when people RACE! They look for ways to go FASTER! :lol: How about this, make two classes. A "Spec" class where everything has to "Look" scale, and a race class for people that are interested in performance.... 3 guesses as to which one will survive. :rolleyes:

trx450racer174 04-15-2009 01:07 PM

Then drive a stadium truck if you want performance.

Well hell, why even race a SC truck, stick w/ the T4.

The "look" is the reason this class is so popular.

ShtLuck 04-15-2009 01:09 PM

the reason these trucks are popular is that they are scale... take that away and you have the dying mod truck class..:rolleyes:

Exactly.

Krio 04-15-2009 01:10 PM

I don't see why everyone is complaining about the new Jconcepts tires. When your car is moving, all you see is the sidewall and they look as scale as the stock tires. They allow these CORR trucks go faster, jump further, and more enjoyable to watch. The only downside is cost, but a "spec" tire can be agreed upon at your local track.

rcmark24 04-15-2009 01:11 PM

I feel the Slash should be a spec class and the SC10 more like a outlaw stock class with tire and motor options. Why else would it come as a kit? I will run the Goosebumps when the tracks allow and I'll run the kit tires when I can't. The weather better hold for this weekend!

+ 1 My stadium truck is WAY faster than my SC10. If I was only interested in performance I'd race it instead of the SCT class. No worries though, my track has already outlawed the jconcepts tires.

What do you think will happen when they "look" at the other much faster cars? :lol:

The class will grow and evolve, or stagnate and die. Nothing lasts forever, least of all spec classes.

The much faster stadium truck class has been around for a long time, hows it doing?

I'm not a fan of "spec" racing, I just don't want to see mini pins and grooved tires in this class, if we allow the JC tires, then were already starting down a very slippery slope.

PartTime 04-15-2009 01:58 PM

Were not looking for a spec class. But taper pins on these trucks are just wrong. Theres ways to get a good tire that works with out going the pin spike route.

No help on the link question? Guess I have to figure it out myself.

proline switch tires dont have the same inside diameter as the sc10 rims...so unless you cut the sidewall somehow to fit, they wont work...the proline rims also are hex style for the slash..maybe they will make some adapters...

trx450racer174 04-15-2009 02:03 PM

The ones made for the Slayer should work on the SC10 wheels.

At our track, it's the biggest class. Nationwide, I dunno, but the last big race I saw in mags and on the net, was pretty much dominated by 8th scale.

I know allowing better tires will make the stock tires obsolete. But why would you want to limit the tires when they still look as good as the others? Why wouldn't you want it to perform better? I understand it's a slippery slope, but I don't think holding the cars back is a good idea. Really, it'll be up to each local track to decide. This will prolly end up just like the Losi Sliders, Minis, and late models. Here today, gone tomorrow. I, and many other racers, still have a bad taste in our mouths from the last "Spec Class" we entered. :nod: Now they catch dust... wanna buy a mini-t? :lol:

I must say that after looking at the SC10 tire compared to the others by TRX and PL that Associated broke the mold of going outside the treaded design and with ROAR's allowance of custom cutting of tread patterns that it wouldn't take much work to take a set of those tires and turn them into pins. We had a guy drop by last night for practice that did just that. The JConcepts tire will just allow for more options that might work out on tracks that have a shortage of traction especially where they have a modified SCT class.

Crawler 04-15-2009 02:24 PM

IDK, I look at the stock SC10 tires and I look at my Panther Raptors or Switches and the stock tires look very scale to me.

Hopefully the SCT class will be the stander barer for the class and the pins and grooves are left to the old stadium trucks.

To each their own.

redbarton 04-15-2009 03:13 PM

Anybody test fit a B4 body on their SC10 yet to see if it will work as an interior crud shield?

trx450racer174 04-15-2009 03:17 PM

Yes in the whos getting one thread i have a pics with a B4 body on mine.

Thanks for directing me to the pic. That's not going to work too well. Hmm? Maybe a JConcepts J82 body will be the ticket, instead?

Yeah someone else mentioned that also.. I am gonna make an aluminum cover and then make a mold for a C/F cover it will be light and have that bling factor.

Dragonfueled 04-15-2009 04:53 PM

besides the tires and body what makes this truck so different from a t4? Shouldn't it go something similiar to a t4? It is based on the same truck.

rcmark24 04-15-2009 05:00 PM

Extended chassis and bevel gear diff. are the big changes.

Dragonfueled 04-15-2009 05:25 PM

Should that have that big Of a negative affect?
