Quite simply the best of both worlds. A slipper waste power if it is slipping, a differential sends the power to either the front or rear wheels, giving 100% power to the ground at all times. Now if you are just set on running a VTS setup fine but the reason you have to re sand and replace the stock AE pads is BECAUSE THEY ARE ALWAYS SLIPPING EVEN WHEN YOU THINK THEY ARE NOT!! the Garodisc cure that issue because they will not glaze and you never have to replace or reset them. On top of that you can run them looser than the stock pads without burning them up.
Keep in mind guys that it is a center dif just like every SC truck on the market has except the SC10, it will work on high bite surfaces you just have to change the pins. You dont see the tekno and losi guys locking out their center dif on high bite tracks, they simply increase dif fluids which is the same as adding pins.

A light truck is only faster if the cog is low enough AND you can drive a car that's not so forgiving.
Also, where it is lighter will make a difference as well, especially in short course. |

I have a question to all you sc10 4x4 owners.I just purchased my factory team kit about two weeks ago,i have already assembaled it but im just waiting for my tires so i can hit the track.After it was put together i tried to spin the wheels with my fingers and notice it was pretty tight,but turn able with some force.I would like to know if its normal and will it losen after i run it?or may be i have something tightened down to much.
Thanks-John |

However, since the "lock-up" action in the RC Shox diff with pins should be proportional to the torque on the spur gear, it's a little different then a simple fluid filled diff. Also, under braking shouldn't the RC Shox diff always be very free??? :confused: Last season I was running my RC Shox diff without any pins and really liked the effect on the truck on our 1/8 low traction/rough outdoor track. :nod: |

Under power, adding pins should be similiar to increasing diff fluid weight in a fluid filled diff.

Yes but not anything like a slipper Also, under braking shouldn't the RC Shox diff always be very free??? :confused: Yes like i explained , under braking you have bias where as with a slipper you do not Last season I was running my RC Shox diff without any pins and really liked the effect on the truck on our 1/8 low traction/rough outdoor track. :nod: |

fixed that for ya:lol:
Heck, outside of some requirement by ROAR or some other organization, I am still waiting for the "unbeatable" slipper setups to be used in 1/8 scale buggy. I mean, if its so good in comparison to a diff setup, why not right? ;) Hey, curious on this, has anyone tried the vehicle with even stiffer swaybars than what AE offers? |

I've been wondering what you all think about the sc104x4 and how much loneger it will be relavent in the racing sene.Also when do you think associated will release a update or the 2.0 of this kit?It has been year and a half since the FT came out(i think).
Thanks John |

Thanks John As for any further updates, I am hopeful that AE will revisit the platform and make improvements similar to the RC10B4. There are a few I know I would like to see. All of this though will really be dependent on where AE sees the class going and what level they feel they should be invested in the class. |
