Well, generally mine need the fluid changed long before it all leaks out (it breaks down, turns all grey and stinky). So it hasn't been a big issue for me yet.

Has anybody had any problem with the mamba sct fitting? I got it to fit in there but seems like i cant get the gear mesh right.

Is anyone using an extra washer under the sun gear in the diffs to stop leaks? Mine are fairly new, but started to leak a little after 2 race days and notice some extra movement (not tight). There is still plenty of fluid in the diffs. Would you recommend the extra washer or not?

Thanks for the info!

in the book it has a 12 gearing to 62 fro a 550 4.5 trun motor i got a 550 is this a good starting point?

Just got email from Tower... Factory Team kit is on it's way from Reno! Anybody else catch one while they were in stock over the weekend?

Sure did and so happy to see its on its way. Tenshock and my servo showed up today as well, excited to get into the 4wd world of sc racing.

I've been following this thread and reading up a bunch on these forums. I pre-ordered my factory team kit and I look forward to putting it together with my 10yo son. Currently we bash an E-Revo brushless and a Slash 4x4. Lots of mods on the Slash and durability mods on the ERBE (aka replacing broken parts with aluminum/steel/RPM).

With the SC10 I'm looking to race at a local track with my son. It's a tight track with modest jumps so I feel the SC10 was a good choice vs the Losi SCTE. Don't plan on doing a lot of winning right away, but it seems like a lot of fun and something my son and I can get into together.

Anyway, got the shipping confirmation from tower and I've got a 4 day weekend coming up starting Wednesday.

Thanks to all the knowledgeable posters who have added to this thread. I feel like I'm going to hit th ground running with my new truck!

Not yet. I am running a Savox 1258TG servo. The receiver, esc, cap, servo, motor, sensor harness, and batteries are all brand new so I'm going to start replacing one thing at a time by process of elimination. I will post what I find if I find the solution.

Welcome all the new posters/new sc10 owners to this thread.


Just about every question/problem/setup/modification to make this truck better has been discussed in this thread.

my box is on the way new go fast stuff

From my experience a 12 tooth pinion on the 62 tooth spur with a Novak 4.5 Ballistic 550 is not quite enough. I prefer a 14.

I picked up some Orion 90c saddle packs for cheap from Helipal. Right from Hong Kong, came within 3-4 days, very fast.

i just bash and its not a big deal i get some time on it and get some gears to try . i look at temp

Glad to see you guys are getting your FT SC10's, I thought about buying it and selling my current one (actually had it up FS on here for a day or two) but honestly all the hard work I've put into this one (with the help of everyone on here, especially Mantis for all his hard work), I just couldn't let it go...... I'm interested to see how their new version of the clutch basket works, so for those of you that have bought one can post up your opinions on it would be great. I may just pick up another one down the road as a backup........
