Let the Build begin. Oh yeah, how long of a Sensor Wire do I need if I keep the ESC in the standard position? (New motor didn't come with one) I used a 150mm and it worked but I had to turn the speed control to do it. I would go with the 180 or 200 |
If anyone is interested in running LOSI rear carriers i was looking thru my LOSI stuff and they make a 2deg carrier p/n 9808 for the XXX series. It might be a bit much but just throwing it out there.

Putting a servo in with anything over 70oz is a waste in this truck. This isn't a 12 lb monster truck. Speed and good centering, thats what you want!
I put a $40 JR DS811 with 70oz of torque and it works just as good as my high dollar hitec 5645 titanium gear servo. Answering your question 70-100oz and .12 transit time is plenty. So save your money. I think I'll move my Hitec HS-625MG from my B4 to the SC10 and see how that works. Here is a little table I made of the recommended servos: |
I wouldn't spend money on anything other than KO

I think their is too much hype about the need for high power high dollar servo's. Its like buying a high end computer for surfing the internet and sending e-mails. Don't get me wrong, some applications need high end servo's, install servo's that are too fast and have too much torque to the point that your having to dial in a bunch of expo and slow down the servo down through the radio programming.

My experience is opposite to yours, I had a Hitec 645MG in my 4wd 1/10th buggy for the longest time, switched over to the AE DS1015, what a difference in the way the car feels! Then again, it was a buggy, not a truck. Also, I prefer a very sensitive steering then a sluggish feel... Just my $0.02 on servos...
The 645MG is a decent servo but it has crappy hold on center, making it a poor choice for steering. Odd enough, the stock servo on the Slash does really well, its just stiffled by the crappy servo saver its connected to. |
I just got my SC10 done and I can't get the rear wheels on.. they won't slide all the way the axle.. Did anyone else have to drill them out a little?:confused::confused:

Just use a body reamer and take a little off each side until they fit snug but come on and off easily.
|
They seem to loosen up the more you take them on and off.
On anther note- I broke my chassis the other night, is this happening to any off you? I saw that cuda had a brace, are there any other alternatives out there? |
I havent broken chassis yet. Just front arms seem to be the norm. Also run the Losi 8/32 wheel nuts instead. They will last a bit longer.

Also, when you tighten the axel nuts be really careful not to overtighen the nut while holding the wheel. You'll turn the axel with the nutdriver and tear the slot for the pin in the wheel. Put a small screwdriver or allen wrench in the slot for the dogbone and tighten the nut holding the axel not the wheel. The nut will bottom out on the axel, you'll know when it is tight. Check the nuts often and again don't hold the wheel when tightening the nuts. This will save your wheels. |

Bummer that you broke it but you won't have to tear down your whole truck for a chassis replacement right away. I'm still runnin mine with a brace bolted to the broken chassis. I broke the top plate too so had to kick for one of those. AE sent me a new chassis and probably would have given me a top brace too but I just bought the top brace added the F N Brace and was back on the track. If you want one I get them out the same day if it's not too late. [email protected] is where you can paypal if you'd like one. |
