I don't have a pair of Proline shocks to measure the pistons, but since they are big bores I would think they are different.
I'm going to be running the Bypass1 shock pistons shortly myself.

Looks like either a material to increase weight or stiffness. Notice the one-off sway bars? Kinwald always has something going on!

I think he is testing the sway bars Jcon is coming out with for the front and rear of the SC10.:)

Rumor?

Had I known I could have asked him Saturday. He only raced buggy though.

I have a couple of quick questions;

1) What is everyone's preference, when it comes to look, fit and durability,
with the hex 3mm offset wheels? J Concepts, DE, Proline

2)What A-arm material is best for handling? plastic or carbon?

3) Does anyone know what is mounted on the chassis deck of Kinwald's ride in these pics? http://events.redrc.net/event-galler...own/?nggpage=8

Sorry guys for all the questions, I tried searching thread, with little success.

Losi sway bars and losi springs. The extra chassis material is to reduce flex I would guess,also adds a little weight and gives some place to run wires.

Am I supposed to replace the rear axles also for the RS hex conversion?

Also I bought the JConcepts blue aluminum hexes, but they seem to be less than 12mm, because when the wheels are put on them, there is lots of play, those Hexes are cut less than 12mm.

What parts do I need for the RS wheel hex conversion? Seems I totally wasted money on the JConcepts hexes.

I had the same issue..

Two options if you want to use AE wheels.
Add shims to the axle between the drive cup and the bearing. Two or three should do it.
or
Use shims under the wheel nut.

The other option is to use Hazard wheels, which will give you the wider track anyways.

The JCON Wheel hexes are a good investment, the plastic ones break over time, and will fail. If you have my luck, at the worst possible time too. :)

The stock Rims from the SC10 4x4.

The AE rims seem to be thinner for some reason. Track owner tried a set when he did the conversion and had same problem. Put a washer on the outside so he could tighten them down and use the 4x4 rims. I have no problems with J-Concept rims.

I just bought my kid the brushed 17t rtr model,I hear with the gearing that's on the truck it gets real hot,been so long since I ran sc I forgot what gearing I ran,what would you guys recommend gearing with this,mainly going to be driven at the park for now so be can learn

Just got mine going its a converted FT . I got some tamiya wide hexes for a tto1 to do hex conversion on rear now nutz lock wheels on good.
My question is . Our track is a 1/8 track with sevrral 180deg turns track is hard packed but has about 1/8-1/4" of fluf on top and gets thicker as u get out of drive line.
My truck has 3 oz added around front of battery tray and bettery is all the way back. I have a 8.5 no boost geared 21/87 clutch slips for 3-4' on hard launch from stand still but dont slip any if ur roling 5mph+. What tire would u hoose . And what adjustments could be made to keep rearend under control.?
Using 30wt ae red springs i think in front /35wt ae in rear with green springs. Ive tried cityblocks in rear and a stock losi scte tire. I have also tried adding a second battery (lol) to see if the added weight would help ( it did but just a lil)

Mitch over at M2C Racing is looking for feedback and any interest on some new pistons he may be willing to produce for those of us running the Proline Powerstroke Shocks. If you run these shocks, then you know we currently have ZERO options for pistons. These look like some awesome pistons. Send him an email and let hime know your interested!

On my sons truck, I turned down the epa on the Radio. It didn't allow him to get full throttle and stay in control. As he got better I slowly turned it up.
You can get one size smaller pinion gear if your worried.

I don't like my battery all the way back. I run mine forward and use weights in the rear of battery tray. I'm only using 2oz.
Your shocks are backwards from mine. I run 35wt in front and 30wt in rear.
As far as tires, cityblocks should be ok. I would try Jconcepts subcultures and see how those work. I like them for when the track is loose. But that's it.

You can try to lay the shocks down a bit more, less anti-squat, and change up hub positions (forward or aft). It's going to be tough with tracks that are that loose.

Not a rumor. I heard it straight from a team driver. They are coming out with them for the front and rear.

If I remember correctly, the truck comes with a 16t pinion. I dropped mine down to a 15t and put the yellow slipper pads on it. The white plastic feeling slipper pads were rather inconsistent and causing odd temps.

actually i drove it a little bit with my kid today,it tops out way to fast,if anything seems like it needs a tooth or two more on the pinion.ill prob swap out that 87 spur and put a another spur on pinion on it

Everything is tight and well setup, just seems like the motor isn't getting enough power. t stays cool to the touch no matter how long it is ran.

mxracer458 05-14-2012 05:43 PM

ok so my kids been putting his new sc10 brushed rtr around today,setting set the lowest he can go,every once in a while you hit the throttle and there nothing,give it a little push and it goes again,motor aint hot or the esc,I'm going to pull the brushes out but almost like a dead spot or something,what you guys think?i haven't had a brushed motor since the early 90s.This is brand new and is still on the 1st pack with the car (lipo),and yes its in lipo mode
