New setup:
Mudflaps removed
RPM front bumper and chassis brace
Pro-Line Caliber tires on KMC wheels
Epic 15T 20 degree motor
Duratraxx Intellispeed ESC
30 degree front hubs
-1 Camber, stock toe
Rear shocks top middle hole, lower inside Gray springs
fron shock top middle hole, lower inside Red Springs
1 anti-squat plate
flipped battery plate with 2s hard case li-po positioned all the way back against shock tower


If this isn't dialed and glued then the next step is toe-in hubs
I think you will want the toe in hubs. What kind of track surface are you racing on? Also what type of Calibers do you have M3 or M4?

I have 1.5* hubs with caliber M4 on Stock AE wheels and this works great for rear traction. I have 30* C-Hubs which helps to settle down the steering. I have my battery very close to stock rear position using the FT battery hold down and I have ton's of traction and steering. I have the grey rear spring and silver front right now, 35wt oil in front and 30wt rear. What do you have for rear camber link position? I have had great results with the longest possible rear camber link. Again power on traction is improved with this cause the contact of the tire to the ground is retained. Also make sure your front shock oil is heavier than the rear shock oil. This allows some rotation under accelerations which adds weight to the rear tires.

Granted I am running a stock motor 17.5t brushless so power is limited.

Love this truck!!!

I'm running the M3s and the track surface is usually packed dirt with some loose and dusty stuff on top.

I've got the longest rear camber link as well, plus I even added two washers under each of the inside camber ball studs. I think I do need to replace the stock 30wt all around oil with 35wt or 40wt up front but I want to see how the newest adjustments work out first.

Always good to take baby steps so you can see what effect your changes make.

I only have one spacer under the inside ball stud.

Okay less that 1 degree rear toe. I don't need the amount that comes stock.It's too much. This truck will never see the dirt-just pavement.

There are a number of ways now to increase rear toe. The new FT toe plates are one way. Then you have the new FT Rear hubs in various increments of toe. Then the aftermarket parts from STRC, Racer's Edge and others.

I have 1.5* STRC hubs in my SC10 and love the traction they provide. I would like to get the new FT B44 hubs cause they have larger bearings and are FT Blue. On anything but sticky clay, carpet, or asphalt you will want more toe.

Just got to RC10.com and click on the parts/factory team/SC10 and you will see some of these AE parts.

Hope this helps.
