Has anyone broken off a 10mm ballstud in the STRC aluminum front caster blocks ? If so, how do I get the broken piece out of their without ruining the whole block?
Thanks! It has saved me numerous times. Even worked on the small hex bolts that hold the aluminum front hinge pin brace on my B4.1. Got mine at OSH Orchard Supply and Hardware. |
I just released today that there are steering stop screws lol. anyway the 12yr old Chinese girl that assembled that part stripped them. They are tiny! What of the above methods work?
Thanks! |

One thing I haven't seen people mention, with regards to rear traction, is whether they need it/have too much on or off power. When I first started driving the SC10 4X4 after driving my SCTE I noticed how much more off power steering it had. With my Losi I would brake hard and turn into a corner off power until I was part way through and then slowly feed the power back in. Attempting this driving style with the Associated had me almost looping out into the turn and then pushing hard when I got back on the gas. With how much more weight the SC10 has in the back versus my Losi I really had to adjust my driving style. By driving on power through all the turns I was able to get my lap times back down.
Anyway, just wanted people to think about the differences between on and off power steering when they're tuning their rides. :) I like to have a lot of off power steering so I can power hard down the straight break hard then coast through the corner adding as much power as needed to straighten the front end as I start to overseer. then gas it when the truck squares up. The center diff helps me get away with that off-power setup since it helps keep the truck stable on power so I can still get though the sweepers ok where the slipper was washing out for me on the same setup. I'm running 5k front and rear and all but the one pin I lost in the center dif. |

Thanks! Only hope will be to try using the thin ceramic cut off wheel in a Dremel and cut a slot for a small screw driver .... |
The Strc stuff seems to be basher quality...

I just ran my truck at the MN Nitro Series Round 4 using overdrive. It took a bit to get used to, but once I figgered it out, it was SOO much better on the loose track. I found that if I braked hard entering a corner, the back end would want to come around on me, but I could correct it with a quick stab of throttle, and then keep about 10-20% throttle mid-corner, and I could hammer the gas much earlier when exiting the corner. Next step might be to set my throttle trim so that neutral on my radio is actually 20% throttle! I can still make the truck stop with the brakes (no reverse) and it might be easier for me to drive at my track. :D |

I'm honestly a little surprised that AE hasn't come out with a new instruction manual or some sort of updated shock end that corrects this. |
I think maybe I am struggling with the sc10 4x4 because I try to drive it like my other rc cars. And perhaps that is a huge mistake. I am not used to kicking the rear and powering through corners.

Shock limiters. Make sure you have enough so that your CVAs aren't binding in your outdrives when the shock is fully compressed.
