Raced my ft sc10 tonight for the first time and ended up 3rd in the main,should have had 2nd,but with over a min to go my slipper was slipping bad,even put in new pads and still faded bad in the main.I'm thinking the discs might have been glazed over?yes it was adjusted properly just faded the last minute or so,sounded like I had no tension on the spring.what you guys think

MXracer

use 320g sandpaper and clean the pads & adjust slipper first ....

If you run the slipper so loose as it is always slipping around the track it will glaze right up .




DAD :D


Only have a few more pictures..

Sc is at track right now ...

Lay bar on top plate & eye ball the ends of the bars as to line up at the very ft edge of arm.
This point will also be where you are mounting the ball studs on the arms.




Be very careful about making the two holes you drill though top plate straight & even ...

Start the holes with a hand piston drill like a #55 as to keep the holes nice & small & tight ....





Use the black bars on ft & back ....


Ps



will have to bend the bar straight enough to slide it thought the top plate , then bend the wire back as close as you can .

arm mnt toe.
 

Hi. Please tell me what arm mnt toe on setup sheet at the rear at top right. It shows camber, anti squat, then arm mnt toe. Can you tell me what it means and how to adjust it. Thanks :confused:

Thanks that is what I was thinking but wanted to get it verified first.

Pads are or were brand new,the first 4 mins are good then it just slips like I have no tension on the slipper spring for the last min,I'm running boosted 17.5.I'm possibly thinking the metal disc are glazed over and I'll run then on some 300 grit sand paper and see what happens,I do remember when I was installing the new pads,the metal discs did feel really slick on the new pads.

When using new pads you usually have to tighten the slipper tighter than normal and as the pads break end you can loosen a little .

Adjust your slipper so the trucks ft end raises a 1/2 in to 1 in .

Hold both rear wheels and blip the throttle to test ...


Check diff , make sure it is adjusted correctly & tight ...

Well after looking at my truck it looks like the nut backed itself off.I had a few threads past the end of the nut and now when I see it,the threads are flush with the nut.time to replace!!damn thing cost me 2nd place

i stripped 5 sets with out a loose wheel with ft pins

ohhhh maaaaan....

Cool. Thanks George. The one picture shows about where it mounts on the front of the arm. That's what i was most curious about.

Obviously your slipper got so hot it melted the plastic on the lock nut ....


replace the slipper lock nut & readjust slipper...

Check your slipper often, at least once before each club race as I describe....

The slippers is one of the most important tuning aids and has a huge effect on the cars performance...



Mike , get her done ....:cool:



Both bars working for you make a huge difference ....

I am concidering a SC10, but am wondering if AE will inclued the hex front and rear adaptors/ wheels with the FT kits.

they come on the rs kit,they may on the ft next year some time

has any one found a bigbore shock setup yet?

I have stripped them in a stock setup under the same circumstances. That's why I run longer pins that fill the slot in the wheels completely.

or you can just do the hex conversion and be done with it
