New to a SC10 4x4, bought one to run outdoors, long time racer B4.1/2, long time AE race. I like to modify things as well LOL.

Questions, shock upgrades? anyone try a 16 mm BB from an 1/8th scale RC8E.2 maybe?

Can you tell me all the best mods to do to one, i read into the Exotek chassis, seems pricey, but hey its racing. Then the slipper lockout plate they make. What else?

Some of the highlights of my truck so far.

Novak Ballistic 4.5, Flow & fan, Ds1015 servo, shorty's or saddles, JC Hi Flow body, Hazards with some blockades to start (loose outdoor, 1/8th scale track, dry usually).

Thanks for any suggestions.

Krom.

Dude !

Easy to do but think the servo ball stud height may be too low

I'm @ the track and will check it out on my ride.

Just wondering how people are holding there esc down on the sc10 4x4? I have tried double sided tape and Velcro and both didn't seem to work very well. Any help would or ideas would be great

use this http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...Tape-1x36-Roll

Lately i have been using a small piece of any servo tape on one side (L) of the ESC and then Shoo Goo on the other(R), once it dries its not going to come off unless you pry it off!

Just picked up the front and rear sway bars. Installed them my self. Who ever said it was easy is nuts. The rear were so hard to screw in to the joints. The frame is in the way. This is my 8th mod to it. Keeping the motor and esc still stock. I just want to hit the track and have fun. By the way this truck can take one pounding. I'm on my second body so far. Now I think there is an issue with the rear end ill know more on Saterday. This is a wonderfull product cost a ton to get it here. But this site has helped me a lot. I'm still only a month or two in to the hobby but I love it. Easy way to spend your pay checks. Go sc10. Nice machine TE

Alright ill look into the shoe goo idea. I figured if I glue it right to the esc tray I can just remove that when I want to clean the truck ect... Thanks for the info

Do you clean your tires beetween races? and on which surfaces should i clean them? I am driving on astroturf

The parma stuff works excellent. use that on everything now. I also clean the surface with goo gone first.

Me personally on loose, bumpy, outdoor 1/8 conditions I found benefit to the following in this order:

- M2C Rear Toe in Block (3.5 degree toe setting)
- Exotek Chassis
- RC Shox Center Diff
- RC Shox dual stage pistons
- Front AE Spring Kit to use on Rear

There was some testing doe on 16mm big bore shocks by a variety of people on this thread and it sounded like they worked really well.

Pretty much the main complaint against the SC10 4x4 that I would still say is unresolved is that on large jumps, there isn't as much control for in air corrections, nose up or nose down like other designs. It seemed like if you came off the jump at all wrong, it wasn't possible to save like other cars. And sometimes it wasn't consistent, sometimes its nose up, or down, etc on the same jump with the same approach. I even noticed this indoors carpet for more consistent surface.

You may find benefit like AE mention that one of there drivers did to not go for the big triple or whatever like other 1/8 based cars can do (Tekno, SCTE, etc) and single double, or whatever. Play to the strengths of the vehicle.

If you would like a setup to try, feel free to shoot me an pm with your email address. If was the final one I came up with outdoors that I felt worked really well and uses the parts I mentioned.

Good luck though, outside of the issue I mentioned above and the general quirks of the vehicle that are known (more to get to the diffs, etc) I enjoyed my sc104x4 but wanted to share parts with my Tekno EB48, so went with the SCT410.

Like the idea moving the servo lower allowing center of gravity to be lower.

Will be working on today.

It will lower your COG (center of gravity), roll center is something completely different.

George how are the Tekno's and V2 Losi's doing now that the brand new smell is fading?!!

Yup, best stuff there is period. 3M makes it too an its cheaper at a hardware store. Cleaning the spot beforehand is key.

My limited experience with my SC10 4x4 is very simliar. On the 1/8th scale tracks that I run on, the Losi and Tekno can clear the big triple, the SC10's can not. The difference is 3-4 seconds per lap. We are 2-3 seconds per lap off the pace. So the SC10 can make up some of the difference but not all on the current track configuration. I will continue to tweak and try to close the gap. I just enjoy driving the truck.

Lol, I did too when I had it, was very fun. I think its a platform that with some revisions for the conditions mentioned is still very viable even against the new stuff. Part of me wonders with that clone-looking 1/8 buggy that has some pics out if they found a way to solve that issue in there design?

would someone know the difference between the two different inner slipper hubs offered...????

Team Associated Inner Slipper Hub

and
Team Associated Factory Team Coupled Slipper Hub (Inner)

thanks and sorry if it has been asked before?
