R/C Tech Forums - SC10 Thread

This is all repeat stuff but don't forget,

the nut can bottom out on the unthreaded shoulder of the axle BEFORE it tightens down on the wheel leaving the wheel free to wobble.
Put a washer on before the nut to be sure the nut pinches down on the wheel tightly then check it to make sure it stays tight, Loctite, fresh Losi thin locknuts and you're done.
Of course epoxy the hub or run set screws into the holes to reinforce that area.

I missed that the nut can bottom out? I will check that when I get home.

Careful if you hold the wheel when you tighten the nut too, it can still twist the pin in the slot and rip it out.
I like to hold the stub axle with an allen driver tip pushed thru the dog bone slot or you can hold the CVD and tighten the nut.

anyone try running the battery all the way up against the rear shock tower? That might help rear traction allot. Not sure how steering would be though. Im figuring somebody has tried it so how does it work.

Unless your building a rock crawler, I'd pass.
