I can feel your pain, man. I didn't have any problems, but if I did, I wouldn't have been to happy about it. Good Luck.

The Sensor Cable that came with my Tekin RSP and 17.5 combo reaches fine.

You can purchase sensor wire harnesses in various lengths.

For example

Orion has them in 110mm, 150mm, and 270mm lengths
LRP has them in 100mm and 200mm.

I am sure there are others.

can someone please measure the front width, from axil to axil please...


anyone??

Yeah I found a longer sensor cable on Stormer Hobbies. I'm gonna order that. Well, I figured out my lipo problem (totally unrelated) and got the truck running.

Only issue I'm having is if you floor it from a dead start, it doesnt have a lot of punch and is high pitched. I'm guessing that just means to tighten my slipper clutch just a bit right?

Also, on initial takeoff, I'm getting a grinding noise if I just sort of drive in a circle and blip the throttle. Seems to go away if you open it up.

My diff is loud as well. How did yall remedy this problem? I remember it being a few pages back.

Well its mostly your slipper. Tighten it down another full turn or have someone hold the tires and you blurp the throttle. It should raise the truck slightly. Get that set first. Did you use the black grease or diff oil? Remember your running metal gears in an elec vehicle and not a gas so you'll hear alittle more mesh noise but it will break in after use and not be as loud. I built mine with the black grease and its not any louder than my T4.

I fixed the slipper problem. I just tightened it down a bit and it solved that. Only thing is, on carpet, if I nail it from a dead start, the front tires come off the ground about 2 inches. I'm guessing on dirt, this would probably be too much and the back end would probably just spin out. So I may back it out a turn or two once I get on the track and see how it works. Also, I'm running an LRP Sphere comp, so I may use profile 1, which I think is better for low traction.

Here's mine. First time building a kit. (I've always ended up buying rollers, and maybe a rtr here and there) Took me about 3-4 hours to finish, and was a piece of cake. I was missing some washers for the front steering knuckles, but had some laying around. This body is a Parma Rattler that was on my Slash. I had to trim around the fenders a little to make it not rub. If it looks like it sits a little high, it's mostly cuz the fenders are cut. Overall, it looks pretty good. I drove it in my parking lot, and it drives REALLY well. I'm running an LRP Sphere Comp/Vector 13.5, Venom 2s lipo, and an AE DS1015 servo. I have it geared at 26/75 per the suggestions in the manual, and it is really fast.

I run at OCRC usually on Fridays and some Sundays

I like no rebound, let the springs do it.
I screw the cap on loosely, compress the shock completely while the extra oil bleeds out and keep it there for a couple seconds then tighten the cap. Really shouldn't have any rebound to speak of.
I'm running the shocks in the kit positions which are the inner holes on the arms both front and rear and for ride height:
rear dogbones level WITH the body on.
front arms level, again with the body on, it's kinda heavy.

captin howdy, wendys for dinner huh!? not a healthy choice LOL hey where did you get the bass pro shop decals?

LOL. I've spent all weekend building/tuning this thing, so I didn't
Have much time to cook. I bought the body from the LHS pre-painted/decaled. A local guy does em, and sells them on consignment, so I'm not sure where he got them. It's supposed to be a NASCAR replica. Just google "bass pro shops nascar" and you'll see it

For the guys who already have a SC10. I have one question.

What is EVERYTHING you need to get this truck running?

Radio + Reviever
Motor + ESC
Batteries
Shock Oil
Pinion
Differential Oil

Am I missing anything?

Got the body painted and installed today, ran around the house and can't wait to put it on the track. The set up advice will be invaluable. This was my first kit and all went well I am thankful for not having any issues. It took me about 4 hours to build, I have all Losi stuff so this was very unfamiliar but I had a blast building it.

I think the trick for this servo saver is to use a steel socket wrench/driver and push down on it so that you are compressing the spring with the tool while you are turning the screw. This way, there is no spring pressure on the bolt while you're turning it. I used the wrench that came with the kit only to start the screw. Once started then I had to switch to a proper socket wrench so I could get some leverage.

I finished my build and this was the only tricky part.

yeah the servo saver was a little tricky, but a nut driver and some muscle got it together with no issues.... i am running a 5998tg servo so i am not to worried about it. i cranked it down pretty good.

my ft t4 roller should be here today to finish off my build, i am gonna use the shocks, turnbuckles, and motor plate. cant think of anything else i really need...
should have my body done today...

I ordered the switch tires so we will see. I love them in my slash
