Rear sway bar is a good idea, also some guys are running the rear up front too with some customizing for less chassis roll. I haven't tried running them yet, but I am on the clay though. Carpet has a lot more traction.
Thanks Guy, glad to be back from my 30 day time out...

I have run a ton of LRP motors and can tell you from personal experience that they always run hot. LRP motors will run typically 20 degrees hotter than most anything else. They are fine in the 180 range. The only thing you should always remember to do on the LRP motors is bearing maintenence. Make sure your checking them and oiling them as needed. Also helps to keep some spares on hand.

So my SC10 has now done about 2 hours worth of track driving and been cartwheeled many a time, node dived plenty of times and even done its impersonation of a turtle many a time.
To my amazement nothing has broken! But to be prepared what sort of parts should I have on hand in case something breaks. Im starting to race next weekend and want to make sure I can make it to the main.

Cloaked- Yeah the only upgrades I did to mine and it has made the truck
more durable for 1/8th scale type tracks with huge jumps is RPM A-arms
with the RPM front bulkhead combined with an RPM front bumper with the GT2 hinge pins.
I highly recommend the RPM plastic over anything aluminum.
It will make the truck not only more durable, but do so without adding too much weight.
Ive ran it like this for several months now and have not upgraded the rear end.
The rear is well protected anyhow because of the big bumper they put on these Corr trucks.
Aluminum upgrades are only for the "Bling" factor.

And once again go to ebay unless you have a local shop that you love! You can find the "chop shop" guys selling things in section, like full front end, full rear end, chassis and bumpers for like 1/4 the price of most shops.
All last week I ordered repair parts to have on hand and I now have nearly two trucks in spares for under $100

- I used my Radio for the first adjustment. I had to run -50 expo to slow down the initial movement.
- I took out one bump steer washer. From .060 to .030, or 1mm to 2mm. This took out the twitchyness I was having on the bumpy corners and corrections after jumps.
- On the front shocks, move the upper mounting to the middle hole.
- On the front shocks, use heavier oil.
- More negative camber in the front. That will give less side bite.
- Running a less aggressive tire. Sometimes I run a tire that is worn down a bit.
