I yanked the threaded shock bodies from a T4. I freakin' hate those blue tubes with the plastic shock clips. Also the CVDs. Dogbones!?! No thanks.

As far as the build goes, it takes < 2 hours. The only pain is actually putting the rear wheels on, it's like they didn't drill the whole big enough. Other than that it's pretty smooth. I'll post pics once I get the body cut out.

OK.. Those are the options I see worthy of upgrading, the dogbones do suck. I don't really see a problem with the shocks though, heaps of people actually prefer plastic caps. But to order the FT tie rods and stuff just seems like a waste. I may pull the CVD's from my spare rolling T4 chassis, but I guess I'll try the dogbones first.

I saw one guy putting a buggy body over the chassis but can't find it anymore. Is anybody doing anything to keep all the crap out of the electronics. It one thing to get dry dirt in there, but I've never seen such a mess every time i run. I would buy a buggy body like I have seen, but have no idea where to start as far as size goes. Any help?

Why not just trim out a B4 body to sit under the regular body??? I should try it when i get home and see how it fits.

That would be the simplest solution, time to dig into the old parts box.:sneaky:

Let me know if it works. Thanx.

I'd like to know how well the B4 body fits on an SC10, too. Pics! I was thinking about doing the same thing with my Slash, but with an 8th scale buggy body. I am getting tired of cleaning sticky red clay off of my electronics and lipo.

trx450racer174 04-14-2009 03:21 PM

I have a few bad B4 bodies i will try one. The other thing i was thinking of was using a 2 litre bottle and seeing if i could make that work.

I finally got my built up and put in my new Novak 17.5. Wow this thing is awesome. I haven't even setup the camber/toe in yet (looks way outta wack) and it handles much better than my Slash. Hell of a truck.

some slash people are turning their CORR trucks into 1/8 2wd electric buggies:

ok so I ran my SC10 for the first time today. (other than going up and down the parking lot to make sure everything works) And I had a couple questions...

1. I notice when taking off from a dead stop, the truck tended to drift to the left. Granted I was running on a really low traction surface, does this mean my diff is too loose? If so, isnt there an adjustment point outside the truck? So I don't have to remove the tranny?

2. I kept popping off the left rear turnbuckle. It didn't come off the ball, like the turnbuckle stripped OUT of the ball cup. I guess this is why everyone runs RPM ball cups in the rear of their T4/B4?

3. I'm running a 13.5 brushless, geared 26/75. After about 5-10 minutes of running, the ESC was cool to the touch, and the motor was hot enough to where I could keep my finger on it for about 3 solid seconds. I don't have a temp guage, so this isn't too hot right?

4. How loose do you suggest running the slipper clutch so the truck doesnt break traction too much on take off?
