I wish someone would figure out how to to run front disc brakes on a 1/10 scale truck! I've seen it done on the VMX dirt bike. basically just like your standard cable break. |

In my opinion, you could definitely lighten your truck a bit and still notice good times. Obviously the type of surface you are driving on makes a big difference on weights. But, on my local hard packed clay track (with a bit of dust on the top), this is a typical weight setup (and how I have mine setup currently):
1/4 oz. underneath the servo horn or somewhere on the front bumper 1/4 beside your receiver to counterbalance your heavier ESC 1/4 oz. in each rear triangle 2 oz. in the rear foam. Also, I have 2/3 of the foam in the rear and 1/3 of the foam in the front. If you went with this setup, you would have a total of 3 oz. of weight, versus the 5 oz. you are currently running. Like I said, this is obvious just a recommendation, and nearly everyone on here has some different configuration. I am just saying that the setup I explained works great for my 2WD FT truck and seems to be a fairly common setup at my local track. Give it a try and see what you think... I bet you will be surprised how well it still handles :nod: |

It's an MMP, pretty sure I had brake strength set to 100%, but will double check now that I know I have a problem.

Losi springs
Got the Losi BB springs today and put them on before the racing started.. all I can say is WOW. Got the Red 22T fronts and Grey 22 rears. Ran 40F and 35R and the truck was a beast. Most likely going to get stiffer fronts, I think White is stiffer.
Without a doubt a must have upgrade, the smoothness of the shock is twice what the associated springs offer. Mine weren't bent or binding, I just did it on my B4.1 and figured I'd do the same on the SC10. I'm running the associated collars with the traxxas retainers and Losi bottoms. Try it out |
WHAT KIND OF TRACK AND SURFACE? SORRY FOR CAPS.

Well then I will have to try orange, truck could be a tap bit more responsive and it would be golden. Going to try some more rebound too.

In the FT Kit, are these rear grey springs the same as the silver springs #6478?
