Nice step-by-step tutorial and build run-through JD.


I got mine today finally, but it was a a weird situation.

My wife had to sign for the package early this afternoon, but there was visible crushing to the box and she thought part of the shipment was lost so the UPS driver had her fill out a form.
But after inspecting it when I got home from the office there was nothing missing (one complete SC10 kit) but the shipping box was strangely oversize for the single kit. About a half-hour after I got home the doorbell rang and it was the UPS driver holding a crushed SC10 box under one arm, with his clipboard in the other ~ "Here's what was missing out of the box, it must have fell out when they were loading my truck and got mixed in with the other packages. Hope I don't get blamed for this."
I told him that I'd handle it, and took the package from the startled driver who shrugged and headed back down the driveway whistling as he went.
On first inspection of the second kit the only thing wrong was the body was pretty mangled. :D

I'm going to spend the evening stripping off the FT parts from my T4 and cleaning them for use on the SC10, and then start on my own build tomorrow after work.
Build looks like pretty straight-forward T4 for the most part, so maybe I'll work on the paint first so it has an extra day to cure.

You got a PM dude!!!

So you received 2 kits?:weird:

SC10 Vs Slash Chassis Pics
 

Several asked for an image of the Traxxas Vs SC10 Chassis. Here you go..

SC10 Vs Slash Vs JConcepts Truth Bodies
 

Here are some body comparisons. I blocked up the bodies to be close to each other with respect to the Trim Lines.

SC10 Vs JConcepts Truth
SC10 Vs Traxxas Slash

Your rear arms are on upside down and on the wrong side.

So basically a stock setup. Right on! Thanks.

Whoops! Forgot to ask what FT parts will work with the SC10. If you know/could tell.

So Far I got:
Servo Saver Nut
Titanium Turnbuckles
Bearings for the steering rack(The same as the FT kit I imagine)

Anything else?

Shocks?

You are correct. I realized that after I ate dinner, and forgot to take a new pic.

Not sure on the CVD's yet. Manual list T4/GT2 Dogbones, but I am guessing the appropriate CVD length may depend on if your using the Ball Diff or Gear Diff, since the Transmission case is different for each. Kurt or Rick may be able to speak to that.

Lightin', where did you order yours from?

What about CVD's...the kit comes with dog bones.

Thanks! So basically all of the T4 parts then.

Now if I can just get one. I am told that my local Hobby People should have some on Friday so I will have to call them and see. They are offering it for like $179 so... We'll see

You dont need the HD Servo Saver Spring. Its already in the kit.

Front Shock Tower on the SC10 is slightly different to account for mounting the Front Body Mount.

The Carbon Battery Strap cant be used on the SC10.

The Light Weight Outdrive set is for the Ball Diff.

Other than obviously the Chassis, knock yourself out.
