WC, am I understanding this correctly? You no longer own an SC104x4? You prefer the design of the ProLite to the SC10? Confused and looking for clarification from one of the SC104x4's strongest supporters.

yup, he went prolite. From what I gather from what he has said, they are seeing a benefit with the lighter prolite at his track.

I'd be curious to see what other similar light designs would do as well, especially the dominus in a valid race trim as it offers the option of a center fluid filled diff.

Me personaly, Tekno SCT410 comes in today. vids at indoor race events show excellent quick transition handling capabilities, excited to see how it does on indoor carpet this weekend.

Thanks for.the help
I just finished a rebuild (it's been a month now) and I had the same drag you are talking about. Took everything apart looked at it, put it back and same thing. Took it apart one more time, looked again, found a messed up washer /shim on the slipper was stuck in the housing, fixed this and everything is as it should be.

In short - check the order and direction of the stuff behind the slipper on the shaft (if you have it on).

I said it once already ...
The Pro-Lite is the fastest Sc4x4 on the planet ....

Goes way faster , lap times average same as my 4w buggy ...

Note of interest
Mike Brown , one of our local N/w racers..

Won the N/w Shoot Out at Trcr with the Pro-Lite a few weeks ago ..
Ae did not tell you guys and only posted a picture of Luke Smith's wins instead..


Fact : Ae tells their sponsored driver to only drive the Sc10 4x4.
I am only taking advatage of a faster ride from Ae, you guys feel free to do the same....

George,

Thank you for posting how great the Prolite is. In the future, could you keep your comments on the dedicated Prolite thread? Because some of us are still running the other chassis, and your comments since you sold your sc104x4 are just cluttering this thread up.

You can find it here:

Thanks,

CeeLo

Brand new vehicle ... How well did the SC10 4x4 do again when first released with the gen 1 slippers and no sway bars?

Right ...

My FT SC10 4x4 is now completely cleaned,rebuilt,and sitting with no electronics as it will remain. I run on an outdoor 1/8 scale track where traction varies from great to terrible from 1 heat to the next. Ruts and rocks are plenty. Myself and a couple teammates got these trucks to handle quite well but just couldn't get them great. I see comments about the Prolight claiming "fastest SC4x4 on the planet." I'm sure on certain styles of tracks under certain conditions it shines. Like others I would love to see how this truck would perform on the type of track that I race on. Not all of us race on well groomed indoor tracks.

Looking forward to vids of you doing this WC with either a prolite or sc10 4x4. Also looking forward to posts showing the actual laptime differences the owners of the Tekno's have versus their previous vehicles too. Same with your Prolite and your previous sc10 4x4.
