I agree, the weight of the sc10 is to heavy in the front to lift that much, I never have been able to get it to do that but have done real well racng it for the past 2 years using his recommended method of a half to 2mm of thread showing. Mines usually around 1 mm.

"So, this is a big old dirt roadcourse/roval? Interesting."


Sorta...

It just has a long 180* mostly WOT right hand sweeper at each end of the track. First one leads onto the front straight, which leads onto the second one. The first one has a big table top (about 4' tall and the crowns conform to the turn... making the "table" trapezoid shaped) in the middle of it and the second leads into a sacrifice jump into a 90 right that brings you into the road part of the Roval. It never gets raced as an actual oval. It's not banked or anything. I'm honestly not sure what the guy that made it was thinking. I know he has a lot of history locally with racing RC's in various parking lots and that sort of thing and really the whole thing seems very road course like. I'd like to see it changed up a bit and that's the plan in a few months. We're going to dig up the top 6" or so and sift it to get the rocks out and then re-do the layout.

thanks an sorry for the spelling but i ran on a wet tacky track this week end with hb barcodes pink an ride hight was dog bones level i was the only truck having traction issues others drove my truck an had the same issue

Just a follow up. I did this at the track over the weekend and I noticed a difference immediately. Its crazy how such a little adjustment made such a difference.

Can anyone recommend some alternative tire inserts?

The JConcepts closed cell foams seem to be too stiff and too small to fill out the tire, the proline closed cell ones seem to be a bit too stiff but fill the tire nicely. I bought a package of orange Ofna 1/8th scale foams, and they are too narrow and much too soft.

I put the stock FT SC10 front white molded foams in some suburbs and put them on the back, and now I don't have any steering and have great forward bite. I like them.

Are the AKA red foams softer than the prolines? I've fondled some panther switch tires with yellow foams, and they seem about right. But they don't appear to be available separately from the tires.

Any ideas?

I run AKA red soft foams.
I love them. work well

I also run Jconcepts blue foams.
The AKA are easier to find though

Do you only run those aka foams on the rear or all around? I'm just now going to start experimenting with softer foams in the rear. I been running on hard, dusty, extremely low traction surfaces and need help getting grip.

all 4

They come in a package of 4.

That's me!

just picked up another FT SC10 couldn't pass up on the deal.

It's my "backup" , but maybe I'll give my old one to my son.

How do you adjust the ride height of these things beside the nut for the spring?? Any other way? I'm running the V2 shocks with threaded bodies.

That is the only way, grab a set of calibers, digital if you have to make sure you have the same amount on each shock. Its easy.

Those are Ofna Yellow molded foams that come with the switches, can be found just about anywhere.

Just to confirm, on other vehicles were you adjusting ride height using droop screws?

Are you meaning to say how you can adjust droop? If so, then you would need to run limiters inside the shock bodies.

If a B5/T5 ever comes out, it would be cool if they had a droop screw option so you can adjust droop settings without putting limiters inside the shock body.

I want to lower the truck but I want to keep some pre lad on the springs. I've seem videos of people using fuel line to limit the amount of piston travel in the shock. I was wondering if that was a feasible option? Also where do you measure the ride height of the truck on the body?
