I am thinking of getting some Bowties for my sc10 but am wondering if I need them in front and the back or will the back only be ok?

are the stock tie rods good they look weak

i tried the bowties on the rear and stock on the front and it pushed a lot when the back was driving hard and the front couldnt handle it. i like it best with front and rear bowties.

just dont get bowties on the front and stock on the rear, lololololol youd be so screwed

I bent one of mine when i wasnt such a great driver. i took it off and bent it back straight, and it hasnt bent since

Oh, don't get me started on those Stock tires, bud. They are the worst tires I have ever had, bar none.

im thinking i will probably run open class at wcrc when they open back up. they mentioned they are going to follow Roar rules for the spec sct class. i like the stock class at pegasus because i can run my bowties!!

Those things are from the 7th ring of hell. It was like driving on ice.
They aren't bad on the street though. I've balded a couple pair.

Goose Bumps for the track for me.

haha yeah. i put a pair of m3 bowties on the front and took it out front of my house with the stock tires on the back. i couldnt even drift it, it would just flip around. the rear end would break free coming around the big bend in the street corner if i was holding it wide open. pieces of crap

Eyep..I've pretty much given up my quest to get those stock tires to hook up .. they are JUNK!!! Goosebumps for me when Im racing :

at my track we use stock tires all around and sometimes use goosebumps up front. hard compund up front and medium to soft in back. we run on a carpet off road track. heres our track in action!!!!

look at his other videos to see slash and truck races, and other sc10 races.

I run the stock tires for practice and smoke the bowtie guys most of the time, then throw the bowties on for the race and you will be fast...

i just got my batteries. they are zippy flightmax 2s 5000 packs. the problem is they wont fit in the battery tray. they are slightly too wide. about 1/16th inch. i knew i was gonna have to dremel for the wires, but i didnt want to cut the whole chassis up. anyone have the same problems?

thanks

Sorry to hear that. I don't have any help I can offer, but do you have the link for the pack you ordered? I just ordered their 2s 4000mah pack and now I'm wondering if it will work. The leads come out the top so I don't have to cut the chassis for that, but now I'm concerned about the width.

Thanks

i bought them on hobbyking.com

We were asked by several of you here to let you know when it was on. It's on! We had a great time on this episode. The truck (SC10) is really cool and it marks the first time Rhiannon is on the show. Enjoy. www.rctvlive.com

Didn't realize you can fit a MM behind the battery. I might have to "borrow" your idea....
