A FT SC10 comes with a ball diff so no oil or fluid is required.

Shock oil is something you should have in different weights already unless
you are just getting started then 25,30,35,40 weight is good.

You can also get 32.5,37.5 weights in other manufactures besides AE.

I believe the kit comes with 30wt.

Note that AE is now offering half weight shock oil. Here is the announcement from rc10.com.

Why make half weight oil?

Fine tuning

I'm gonna get flamed for this because some think I have a bad attitude towards others posts but oh well...

Why do you ask so many stupid questions?:weird: please tell me your age is something teen and maybe I'll cut a little more slack..

I ask this awhile back but anyone have a good gearing for a tekin rs with a 17.5? I am gonna have someone at the track do the setup for the esc but what gearing gets most out of the 17.5 motor?

Kinda medium carpet track.

Also should I be running the servo saver all the way tight? I sometimes have no steering through a corner.

I would not recommend running the servo saver all the way tight. You will just damage more things and could fry your servo. If you need more steering you can move weight forward or stiffen up the rear suspension. A firmer rear spring and oil will improve steering. What is your set-up now? If you are already stiff then you will need to soften the front.

I am running 24/75 in my SC10 with SC10.

Just got some aluminum 1deg rear hubs. Let see how this bad boy is!

I am running the same thing. I prefer 1 deg rear hubs. They did the job last season for me really well on a loose medium traction track. I have the STRC hubs which ones did you choose?

It's the reds all the way around.. Everyone at the track uses that. I like the way it steers but sometimes it just doesn't want to rotate..

I am using the gear diff. Will that make any difference on gearing versus yours?

Krio 11-02-2010 08:17 AM

Technically there is no adjustment to the associated servo savers. You are supposed to tighten them until the head of the screw bottoms out. If you don't tighten them all the way you end up bending the steering assembly as the head of the bolt that goes all the way through hits the chassis.

RE: Steering

What tires are you using on the front? When I ran the stock tires I had a push in the corners. I swapped them for Enduros and suddenly I had oversteer. I had to soften up the rear and move weight back to balance the steering.

C_Money 11-02-2010 08:38 AM

I am using stock tires.. Again it's only everynow and again in one corner of the track. Everyone uses the stock tires. I should just work on that section.. My main thing now is making the switch to 17.5 and figuring the gearing with the gear diff.

ChrisAttebery 11-02-2010 09:28 AM

I'd try going to better front tires. You'll be able to turn down the steering throw and have better control overall. You can then soften up the rear end to get more rear traction too. I wound up with Red front springs and Green rears.
