Need some help/tips everyone... Took my sc10 to the track today and I was having problems with keeping my rear end from sliding all over the place. I run on a hard packed tight clay track with a 13.5 motor and gold barcodes in the front and rear...... Should I try loosening up the ball diff, loosen the spur, add rear swaybar? Basically any help would be greatly appreciated so that my rear is more planted and not sliding all over the track like it has beenWhat and spinning out alot.........

Soften the rear springs?

Lower the rear ride height a bit?

put on .5 degree rear hubs.. That extra 1/2 degree of rear toe on top of the 3 degrees it has stock really changes things.

Do you have weight on the rear of chassis? if no, I'd throw 1 1/2 oz or so under rear shock tower behind battery... try it and check lap times, add more and try again, stop adding weight when laptimes slow down.

just .02cents.. try any and see if it helps.

edit: if that's the first time at that track.. don't assume those tires are what you need. Sometimes the easiest thing is to try different tire combo's as they REALLY make or break the truck regardless of setup.

Hey Guys, just ordered up an SC10 FT as this'll be my first foray into Short Course. Looks like a hoot :)

Yeah, it looks like a blast and it looks like a driver's class. Not just bolt in a monster motor and pull the trigger :)

It's by far the biggest class in both local clubs as well, and they run in a gym all winter so thats cool too :)

Hi,

I just brought the gear diff rebuild kit #9829. But I found the gears are different to the ones I had installed and different to the picture found on AE's website!??

Here's a pix, will they still work?

Just purchased all components and double checked part numbers to convert sc10 front hubs to the sc10RS hex hubs. When installing wheel not enough threads to allow lock nut to work. Check RS owners manual online and there is a different front locknut part number listed then the rear. The front locknut is not listed however under parts list! Anyone fighting this issue or am I the first? All items assembled per instruction and triple checked! Still to short! May be able to use another nut but hate to half assed it together! Prefer to assemble as it was designed.

This usually happens when you install the wrong hexes. Make sure you are using the narrow hex in front and wide hex in rear.

Thanks, but same part number front and rear. Both are the same thickness. Any other ideas?
