I would.

BK runs the 4wd SCT class often and is the face of AE for SC104x4 SCT.

Maifield and Cav don't run 4wd sct anymore.

why sell it if it's all there?

Not sure if 4X4 SCT is going to be a class I want to stick with or not.

Where is the correct measuring points for ride height on sc10 4x4?

behind the front wheels and in front of the rear wheels

When BK was running for Losi, he used to do tons of skunkworks stuff.

I remember seeing him at SoCal with a bag of chassis that were all custom cut for him. Well, at least somebody cut them in half on a mill so he could make whatever length he desired within 1/8" by CAing the front and rear sections back together.

We never saw any of that stuff.

When Brent Wallice won the Reedy sedan race, I remember him building a sedan just for RC Action to shoot for the magazine. "Part" of it was for sponsors, part of it was outright subterfuge.

Like I said. (obviously didn't delete it in time, lol)

BK is BK. My point is AE isn't doing it. BK is. I'm trying to give credit to BK and only BK. AE isn't sitting around pow wow'ing for us. BK is. etc etc.

AE doesn't show much of caring about 4x4 SCT (if they cared they'd require the stars to run the class). Kyosho doesn't even think 4x4 SCT is going to last. (don't some people think 1/10 4x4buggy is the same way? IE: losi)

Just banter.

I have it on good authority that TLR has a new 4w coming out next year. It's a worlds year after all.

And if it's no good, they'll just reissue the xx-4 again.

Wildcat1971 07-14-2012 11:28 PM

I think SCT might last. They erased 1/10 ST with it. I also think 1/8 electric buggy might have a future. It might come to pass that for the money 1/8 electric is the way to go. but 2wd SCT might stay.

Basically the exact opposite of that...

Going up in diff fluid will make the two tires more "locked together" so that would only make the truck spin more easily. Raising the front ballstud would lower the front roll center and make the truck softer in the front and would only make the problem worse.

Raise the rear inner ballstud to increase rear traction.

went to the track again today to do more testing.. i went to 7k in the rear instead of 5k.. left the front with 20k.. the truck felt more consistent coming into the triple.. with only 7mm on the inner ballstud.. i will probably bump it up to 8mm tomorrow. overall the truck felt decent today. has anyone have issues bending the front chassis brace screw? kinda random question but ive bent that screw like 5 times!:confused:

I just don't know how you guys are doing that. I cartwheel down the hill (track's uphill/downhill on 50% of it) and do stupid trick jumps with mine and i've never bent that screw. Have no clue how you guys are going threw them like that. :confused:

C-on find a clue yote ......




The best Ae help we have even seen came from Chris Jarosz.

Then you & the rest only complained to him how bad Ae did with the design of the truck & stole their ideas to improve .

So even he kept his distance from us because of that crap ...


Also a good reason we will most likely never see BK here

and why your stuck with me .......:lol:

JEFFs SC10 07-15-2012 09:07 AM

Steve Hartson, Kody Numedahl, Ty Tessman, Max Flurer and BK run the 4x4 sc10 but since Cav and Maifield don't run that class now AE is backing away from that class?

Bass Ackward logic much?

I agree that AE doesn't come in this thread and chat because of numbskulls like Coyote.

I'm sure BK is too busy to deal with this, but it would be cool if he actually gave some tips.

im lucky to have a lot of the ae drivers choose (ocrc) as their home track.. like hartson for example.. he isnt too thrilled about the sc10 4x4.. when im having issues with the truck he will help which is cool.. but for set up wise.. he's just not that into it as he is into the buggy.. even cavalieri's dad doesnt know much about the truck.. which sucks for us who enjoy tweaking on it.. trying to get the truck better in a way..

Wildcat1971 07-15-2012 09:22 AM

A lot of the fast guys always prefer the buggy class. Something about that class. Been around forever i guess.

It's the blue/red sct you'll see come in towards the bottom at around 40 seconds into the video, oh and sorry but the video is kind of long so no need to watch the whole thing.

+ YouTube Video
ERROR: If you can see this, then YouTube is down or you don't have Flash installed.

That sounded just like mine!

I had a bad bearing on the rear diff, not sure if this was the actual cause, but after the rebuild it was much quieter.
