I would probably start with the M2C toe in block for sure.

- Exotek Chassis
- RC Shox Dual stage pistons
- Front springs to use on rear as needed
What's a good starting shock setup (oil/pistons/springs) when using front springs on the rear?

send me a pm with your email address and I'll sent you the setup I used for loose conditions.

It uses pretty much all the stuff I mentioned, in particular the RC Shox pistons. For stock pistons, not sure however.

go to www.rc10.com

Click on setups

Use John Walentia's Show Down .
By the sound of your conditions maybe try blue rear spring instead of yellow..

You don't need to buy much extra.
B4 C Hub for sure you will need.

How are they mounting the C hub on? Drill new holes and mount flush to the hub? Is there any pictures explaining the "right" way of doing it?

Does anyone have insight into Chad Due's set-up from Trackside hobbys last weekend?

Default used roller question

i purchased a roller recently and I'm wondering if i should do a tear down on the whole truck? when i got it i noticed that the front wheels weren't spinning smooth due to a front screw pushing on the front clicker. I'm still waiting on electronics and I'd like to know if there is anything wrong with the truck before i run it. i wouldn't want to do more damage before i get to run it. but on the other hand i want to see how the truck runs before i tear it apart. is there any important things i should look at before i do anything with it? i currently run a 2wd sc10 and i have worked on that. so I'm pretty comfortable working on my own truck. any information would be helpful. thanks.

Yes, always do that in my opinion on any used items you purchase.

Can down load the instruction manual at www.rc10.com

measure & compare the screws so you know all are the correct size when you overhaul.
Very common to find incorrect size used .

What some of you have been waiting for is me racing my 4wd SC10 this weekend.
If the weather is clear and no more rain is on the horizon I plan on racing.

I will definitely keep a close eye on all the bolt sizes. Thanks again for the info.

Default sc 10 4x4 90004 vs 90010

Hi,
There are 2 versions of the FT kit. A discontinued kit 90004, (selling quite cheaply) and the current kit 90010.

Other than the body, whats the difference between the 2?
Thanks
Fred

90004 is the basic (original) kit, not the FT kit. 90010 is the FT kit which comes with stuff like hardened shocks, Ti turnbuckles, chassis brace, VTS slipper, etc. If you want to go with a kit I would strongly recommend ASC90010, the FT kit.
