SC10 4x4 Thread
- Looks pretty good.
- That track is pretty flat, with lots of open/sweeping turns.
- Where is the legal limit on drilling holes in your body, and has Mantis passed it?
- What is that noise when your truck goes through the rut in the front straight?
I think you should get the ack bar, truck jumps beautifully. That track looks fun, but has some weird spots, like the jump into the tight left turn. Just work on your lines, are their holes cut in your body?
You definitely proved the truck is durable!
another vote on are you running the right tire?

You must not have the best setup if you cannot grab the throttle without the back end washing out. I do think though, this truck is ment more for "smooth" driving people. If you like to grab a handfull of the throttle alot then this car will be hard to drive for you. If you come from a 8 scale (or anyone ealse) then the losi I would think is better suited for them.
Also he said he was not setup right for that track and is currently working on a setup.
FYI: You could buy the Exotek chassis!

That aside, I think it's 'easier' to drive for the softer drivers... But by no means is it meant for it. (generally speaking, not countering your comments)
Noted.
The way your truck gets around the track is the exact reason im thinking (just thinking at this point) of switching over and trying a Losi. If you don't down side every jump it bounces on a flat landing. The back end comes around on you very easy, and you can't grab a hand full of throttle until you're half way down the straight for fear of looping out.
Don't get me wrong I LOVE my SC10 4x4, it's fast and very precise. I do quite well with it. Im just not sure it totally suits my driving style. My local indoor track is BIG, and FAST, and there's no real tight sections. At this point the Losi's just seem to have an edge on that type of layout.
AE SC10 8.2 4x4 anyone lol? THAT would be a nasty truck to have

Sorry, was posting as I caught up on the thread. Calibers may not be the right tire for that track. I was running them on the track I posted the vid for a few pages ago, and if the track has any loose tacky dirt it will get into the grooves of the tire and cause it feel like your driving on snow.

Our track had just gotten some rain.
The Caliber was TOO sticky for that track, as soon as the tire filled up with dirt, The Tire was 'perfect'.
RC Tires are an odd(and frustrating)thing.

I will be migrating to a more specific tire this spring, but the calibers have never let me down for a weekend warrior.

Is this the right stuff to use on the center diff?
This is now my 2nd attempt to get the right ball diff grease from a LHS. Didn't notice that it said "Not for stealth transmission" which makes me think it's just another lube and not what I needed.

I 'love' calibers. They've never let me down, in the sticky gunk, once they fill up a bit, They're great, and in the dusty crap, they dig down just deep enough to find traction. They are my all purpose tire.

They are my number 1 choice for carpet.

I found a good upgrade for the stock RTR radio. It uses the stock receiver and has a 10 car memory and digital controls.

I just bought a pair of JConcepts Hazard wheels and noticed that their are hairline cracks at the inside hub. I Checked the 2nd pack and same thing. I took them back to the shop I bought them at to exchange and two other packs had the same hairline cracks. Are any of you having problems with these wheels and or noticed similar issues?
