Another racer that races with me, great pit guy for nitro, got a SC10 used and it had weight in the triangles in front of the back tires and on the front skid plate. I have noticed my truck is great on a hooked up surface, but get a little loose stuff on the track and it cant find traction anywhere. I just wonder if some weight would help that. I havent ever messed with weights before and I dont understand when to use it and where to put it.

Far cheaper to buy a real FT kit than to piece one together. I did a quick price check though tower and it would cost way over $400 to piece together a FT truck. A real FT SC10 kit from AE would probably cost $235. Its time for AE to release a FT SC10....they made their killin already selling overpriced upgrades.

regarding weight

At one point I have 6oz in my truck. I think I am down to 4oz now and it is great. The truck jumps a million times better and doesnt turn into a sail when it gets air-born.

i have 1 oz. of weight in the rear of my car. I also have the battery moved all the way back. I am thinking about putting 3/4 oz. in the front of the car to get the front end to stay a little more planted since i run an 8.5.

I have 1/2 oz stuck on the steering servo. And that's it. No weights in the back expect the esc mounted on the battery foam, battery is up front. Works pretty good. But I want to experiment with another 1/2 oz in the front (probably don't need it). It hooks up really good. But the front seems to be a little light to me.
