What Mac means is: "yes"

But for the price of all the upgrades seperately, you'll save money buying the FT kit if you don't already own a truck. The shocks, sways, basket and brace alone are worth nearly $200....the screws and turnbuckles and battery strap are another $100....Who knows how much AE will charge for their Ackerman plate..... If you really want to make a truck into the FT version, just get the FT version once it is available....

Chad, you may have to go to 1.3 pistons for rough stuff. I actually ran my 1.1s drilled to 1.4 for choppy surfaces. Now I run Mantisworx 2 stage pistons. This is a very worthy upgrade.

Marcus, when I had the center diff in my truck, I noticed that the front and rear would not stop together. I shimmed the hub out, and tightened my spring tight enough to bend the topshaft. I had to give up on the diff for now. I was not getting the drive on the small high traction indoor tracks we run on here in the frigid midwest. Maybe I need even more shims??

well I guess I did loctite my piston screw, but the damn head snapped off

Not sure how I can ez-out a screw that small, so looks like I got to buy a new TiNitride shaft.

Those of you with Exotek chassis', are you adding more weight still? If so where and how much?

Thanks.

awesome, thank you for your replys. Im looking at finding a used one that has majority of the upgrades. If not i will just wait for the factory. Almost wanted to go with a losi bc of all the stuff i have read about the associated ( hard to work on, dosent handle like the losi) but i just cant bring my slef to buying a losi.

Course it's not strong enough. Why did you let yourself do it to 'all four'?

use the 5.5 Nut and thread it to the end, and counter turn as you tighten the other one. When you're torquing down on it, it's got to go somewhere. The locking style of that plastic is so that when you remove the 5.5 nut that holds the shock on won't spin, it's not for the 7mm nut.

I held the standard little P.o.s. one and rolled the truck, but if your slipper is correct, you're not going to hulk it.

If you read the thread, you'll find a Diff removal Guide.

The body holds up awesome. Don't boo it before you oose it, bro.

Read the thread man. Use the search option, your world will be enlightened. Yes, We run 5k rear, 30k front majority, some run even higher.

I was just checking out this video:

Looks like Maifield and Cav have their SC10's flying pretty clean over that triple. Granted it's no 30' jump, but it's a pretty good sized jump. I wonder if they're doing anything special setup wise or with weights to keep it that level.

In no way whatsoever am I claiming my own personal skill, but I would have no problem hitting that triple in my Po'dunk tuned Ride.

I think that 30' that we're talking about shoots you up so vertical into the air that you can't correct at that point. That jump is shooting them pretty level, imo

My jumps, I can LAUNCH mine and slam the brake and get about a 30degree change in mine, but at a certain point, I noticed as Mantis was saying, I cannot get anymore, and that 30degrees would not be enough with that big triple.

That's a good looking track though! I'd be stoked to drive it!

Yeah I'd hope not too. Mine just seems to nose over.

We'll see once I finish rebuilding it and put a fresh lid on it.

YouTube has me wanting to travel to some races. :P

not four pads. it says "4 surfaces" which is what you get with the mtk basket

edit, blueglowboy already said it...whoops

Oh BTW, I stumbled on a video of that track I told you I checked out up in Marysville, showed up when I was looking at SC10 vids racing:

It looked like a fun track to me, big, a little loose on top. Real racin'.

You can get a better view of the new VTS4 slipper with the new Team Edition instruction manual on www.rc10.com...



All finished with Scott's Sc10 4x4 ride , man it turn out sweet .....

One of my better masterpieces.....

This ride will see some tuff competition against really fast team drivers ....


They , Scott & my other Ae teammates all get to go to Denver for the Rumble in the Rocky's this week end .

Not me , I get to no go ....
next year for sure ...

Proof !

Truck jumps just fine and the driver always makes the biggest difference...

No need for reverse counter gear yadda, lots of cheese is really what you need.

Practice like a track rat with the team set-up and you can learn how to clear & land jumps like the professionals...

...

Seriously...?


You really are... Forget you.

Saw steven hartson run the new truck at the JConcepts Winter Indoor Nationals at SmacTrac this weekend. It looked really good. The chassis brace is huge! Steven took 2nd to Josh Wheeler, a local Xray driver running the new Xray SC truck prototype. I was 5th overall, and managed to pull a 3rd place finish in A3 only 10 seconds back from wheeler and hartson. My non FT truck with my own mods seemed to stand up well to the new truck
