You got the new FT slipper?

I asked the same questions and everyone said I was seeing things lol.. but mine rubbed up front.

I have a FT kit with about 4 race weekends on it and I noticed alot of slop developed in the rear hubs. Whould switching over to aluminum fix this? Also is anyone using the ST aluminum hubs? I see they are half the price of the AE hubs.

I stuck with the plastic AE's for now. The JC's strip too easy (at least the rears from what I've read) and the ST's have a loose fitting. I haven't heard much about the prolines

I have been shopping for a Factory team sc10 for the last couple days. Just about everyone I looked at had weight added to it. I am new to this truck and obviously adding weight is a must. Any advice on how much weight and where to add it? I finally scored a new kit so It doesnt have any set up on it. I get to start from scratch!! :nod:

I think he is asking about the hubs not the hexes

That final lap around the last corner push by that guy was pretty dirty.

I can't see it but I can hear it. And I have the body mounts to the top of the post.

You are correct. The rear hubs not hexes.

I can tell you how I have my weights set up, and it works very good for me in my FT SC10, fly's nice and flat when in the air. However, everyone is a bit different, so I know not everyone may agree with my setup.

I have my battery pack towards the middle with 2/3 of the foam in the rear and 1/3 of the foam in the front of the pack (stock setup I believe). Then, I use 1/4 oz. iron weights. I have (1) 1/4 oz. weight towards the front end, like underneath the servo saver assembly general area. Then, I have (1) 1/4 oz. weight located on the far right side of the chassis, at about the midpoint of the car. This one is here to combat the heavier weight of the ESC on the other side of the chassis, and helps center the truck when in the air. Lastly, I have (3) 1/4 weights on the centerline (battery area) of the chassis, right underneath the rear 2/3 foam piece I was talking about earlier. I have seen lots of other SC10's at my track, and this seems to be a fairly common weight setup. Hope this helps a little :)

Well, it IS nitro and all.

I run 1 1/4 oz in each triangle. One 1/4 oz by the receiver to counter the speedo. Then I run the battery in the middle but the rear foam is half the size of the front foam because I have 9 1/4oz weights in rows of three behind it. Alos one 1/4oz on the front bulkhead. Works great no problem with rear traction. Got the setup from the fast guy at the track.

+1 , slipper from the factory team Sc10 4x4 kit. not saying your wrong, mainly was thinking that some of the pics showed it mounted to a 2wd AE vehicle.

Yeah, I know most people run more weight on theirs then mine, but typically in the same exact places I have my weights placed. I have been using my setup for the last few practices, and it works well for me on my track conditions. However, sometimes when my local clay track hasn't been watered, and is veryyy dried out and dusty, I will add additional weight to my existing ones to help me get a bit more traction. Btw, what do you mean when you said that you add weight to "each triangle"?

I think he means the sections to either side of the battery tray behind where the receiver or ESC goes.
