Trailing steering blocks
 
Building a FTSC10, From my understanding when you run trailing steering blocks. You mount the ball studs on the rear hole of the steering rack for the turnbuckle. Hence you use the front holes on the rack when you are using inline steering blocks. But the manual sez to mount the ball studs in the front holes of the rack even tho the kit is using trailing blocks. What do you guys think? Is this just personal preference or is there a sound theory behind it?

ft hole = more steering
rear hole = smoother , less steering

ok guys i just picked up my 2nd sc10 and this 1 has the b3 trans in it with a ball diff. does anybody know the gear ratio to the b3 trans? and with the ball diff which way do i turn the adjustment screw to loosen it? right now the diff is set so that both wheels turn the same direction

Has anyone seen setup sheets for the bb springs. I am going by spring rates and and cross ref ae and Losi rates but if there was a sheet that would be great

You are going to have to post a picture of that sc10 because I can't for the life of me come to believe that it has a b3 transmission in it. As far as loosening the diff. What way do you normally turn a screw to loosen it? For that matter the diff might not need to be loosened, if there is no motor in the truck, then there is nothing holding the diff gear so that you can get differential action by just turning one tire. Along that same notion, most brushless motors do not have enough holding strength either.

Bearings
 
Putting B 44 alum hubs on. Should I just use AE 7935 bearings, or are there better ones to use?
Thanks:cool:

Whats the best 12mm hex conversion for the Factory team kit?

J concepts?
do associated make them?
proline?

do they make something for the front as well


also is the mod worth doing?
Im going to be racing my kit

I have been running the proline setup front and rear for 7 months. I love it. The sc10rs is the cheapest way to go but the hexes are plastic. I like the hex mod it allows me to swap tires front and rear.

would a castle 3800 motor be overkill in my sc10 2wd?

Can't wait to find a 4x4
 
Just to say, if anyone knows of selling an sc10 4x4 in good condition, could you let me know? I'd like to buy one for under $180, thank you!! Deathstar :deathstar

darryl80 02-25-2012 08:58 PM

i saw a sc10 4x4 roller for sale in the for sale section for $175.

1st 2wd
 
I finally broke down and got a sc10 rs model...I'm a stadium truck guy...in my rc10 I run a rs tekin and a 10.5 redline...would this be the ideal setup for my sc10 also? I do know I want it to all be tekin I've already purchased the rs just need info on what turn

njnewc 02-25-2012 09:21 PM

The mod guys r running 7.5's here in Texas. I guess it depends on what class and what the fast guys r running.
