The sc10 uses the exact same shocks as the T4...rear shock bodies @1.32 inches and front @1.02. Sounds like you've gotten the short end of the stick if you have .8" or .71.

That's what i was thinking. Guess i'll give AE a call. Maybe everybody should take a good look at there front shock bodies if they are running the stock blue bodies

Ya more then likely they just put wrong parts in kit. It should be 1.02 in front and 1.32 in rear. Something like that.

Well in the main tonight all of a sudden my dogbone kept popping out and it looked like it was too short. I'm guessing the rubber o ring popped out.

Anyways I guess I'll just upgrade to the MIP T4 cvds. I'm assuming those work right ?

Just make sure you have the o-rings on the outdrive and hub side. I spaced mine in the middle with like 2 o-rings on each side. I went to CVD's cause they bones wore out fast.

Make sure your down travel/droop isnt too much. Check the spacers/limiters inside the shocks to limit the length

Your rear shocks should measure about 10.5 cm center of hole to center of hole when assembled.

Fronts = 8.5 cm.

What I do to fix that is put a piece of shrink tubing around the pin area. This way the pin doesnt slide out anymore. Works great.

Use a wrench and tighten it up.

See you friday BK.

Seriously, clean the setscrew and the hole with motor spray to remove any oil then use blue loctite and there should be no reason it would come loose, oh yeh and use a wrench.
