SC10 4x4 Thread
#2401
Im currently running a Viper VX10 speedo and LRP X-12 8.5T and when I mash the throttle or even get on it hard the truck stutters and dosent want to go. It makes a clicking noise so i thought it was the belt slipping but I have checked the belt and everything else in the drivetrain and cant seem to find it? Any clues to what would be causing this? Thanks!

if it stutters it might have clay/dirt inside the motor. take motor apart and blow it out with air.
blow out esc.
inspect and check to see if sensor wire is in all the way in, or has dirt inside or broken.

Mine are still on backorder. The DE scte wheel fits perfect. It looks a hair thicker than the AE at the hub, but not like the protrac. Some more internal ribs would be nice if possible, the SCTE wheel is very flimsy because there's no room for reinforcement on it.

Just FYI, I was able to successfully replace the horn without taking much apart at all, took less than 5 min total. I marked where the holders were bolted, and pulled them both, had to pull the clicker cover to get to one, than I pulled the front right camber link ball stud, As well as the upper shock nut to swing the shock out if the way, and was able to swing the servo sideways and replace the horn.

They should have just put a spring tensioner on it, then there would be no adjustment needed, foolproof.
Anyways I have mine one notch down on both ends and so far so good.

Belt tension is measured by pressing the center of the belt in with a specific amount of force, and measuring how far it deflects. Ideally there'd be a spec with a little safety factor built in. Running it any tighter serves no purpose IMO. But I have no clue how much that means on this car. Maybe there's a guide on an onroad car that discusses it.

Running it a litle on the loose side wont be a problem as i like my onroad cars to run the side belt that way, and it really frees up the drive train compared to running it too tight.
not sure if that makes any sense but ya'll shouldnt worry too much if the setting seems a bit loose with the front and rear tensioners helping to keep it where its supposed to be
