R/C Tech Forums - SC10 4x4 Thread

Since I bought my factory team truck last winter, they have come out with new shocks. Is there any advantage to getting them? I see they are about 100 bucks which is really salty...

MBX5 Prospec you say??? Awesome buggy! We ran those back in the day. Along with the Mugen Truggy.

I'll still stop by here and comment once in a while I really enjoyed my AE 4x4. It took work to get it right and now I thing i've taken it as far as I can. So I am intriqued with something new..

Durango on it's way for me

You can just get the body and ti shafts, the rest is what you have already.
Hard anodized and Teflon coated bodies, ti-ni coated shafts, its better.

the ti coated shaft is smoother.
but what's the benefit of the hard anodized shock body?

I still think 13mm big bore shocks are already more than enough, especially most sc10 4x4 won't be competing in an outdoor track with big air, isn't it?

Cain - Many thanks for the info! :nod:

Lastly, to avoid the outdrive problem, how many spacers are recommended on the shock shaft? I take it its better to place them outside the shock body on the shaft, correct? Again, thanks! :smile:

Belt issue

Can someone help me with a belt issue? I have it geared 20 tooth rear an 19 tooth front for overdrive, an my belt became loose or thats what I thought. I had the tensioners fully tightened an it was barely enough to keep the belt tight enough. So I bought a new belt an put it in an it is no tighter then the old belt. I still have to run the tensioners fully tightened to keep it barely tight enough. Anybody know why?!:confused:

im running the 19t in the front 20t in the rear and i have my belt set so the truck free rolls about 10 feet.

i can go tighter and my belt is the same belt from when i bought the truck back in the middle of the winter.
