and you blew it in the main!!

Hey guys,
Trying to get my SC104x4 ready for the track now that it is finally almost open (yay long winters followed by lots of rain!!)

Any suggestions to help with the issue described below will be greatly appreciated!

Current layout is the same as the end of last year, and I loved my truck through 90% of the track, but the middle rhythm section was killing me. Coming into the first jump, you could hear my truck slap the face of the jump and then again on the landing. which would cause me to lose a ton of speed, and the truck just would not fly consistently.

I currently have (Front/rear):
blue front spring/blue rear spring,
30/25 AE oils, emulsion with almost zero rebound (I see bladders with no bleed screw is recommended....may have to order some new bladders....)
24/23mm ride height

I'm running almost everything else stock (no added weight, no exotek chassis, just garodiscs and dual-stage pistons bought in 2011), but I do have a 550, RX8, and heavy Reedy batteries. Total truck weight, ready to race, is 2870g, and from a crude measurement, I've got about a 44/56 front/rear weight distribution....(that seems excessive, even for this truck, yes?)

Here's our track, and I've got the video set up to start right when the lead truggy comes into the rhythm section....it's kind of a double double double, but it's the first double that kills me. I don't seem to have trouble on any of the other jumps that seem just as steep....

+ YouTube Video

Sorry I don't have any video of me on the track....we've been rained out since the snow left.... If we get a practice night this week, I'll get someone to record my truck....

Only thing I would change if running out doors would be switching the yellow rear spring for the blue & the tires ...:nod:

Lite setup will kick azz ...:deathstar

BTW
Good luck with those garos ........;)

Good times yesterday, was a little burnt out for the main from hanging out at the track all day long ...:o

Blue BOY !!!
Sorry Bro Ham , would of watched the video but its too early in the morning for stinky trucks ....:lol:

I opened the servo and confirmed a stripped gear. While playing with the movement I notice the entire circumference of the gear doesn't get used. I pulled the gear off, rotated the gear so that the stripped part is on the other end. I put the servo back together, installed it in the SC10 4x4 and it is working great. I'll have to see how long it will hold up now.

Also, can anyone suggest the optimal servo for SC10 4x4?

Thanks!

Savox sc 1256 or 1258 or any of = stats

X2, I use a 1256

I use the 1258mg, Plenty fast and plenty of torque. 1257ti is a good servo also, faster and less torque.

hi guys..i"m building sc10 at the moment....and i have a question regarding this toe blok...

is 3 -3 mean 3 degree and 3 - 2 mean 2 degree?

and i also question with vented slippery pad... how do you install it? is there any information regarding the installation? do i need this vented on the new vts4?


thanks

toe blocks:

3-3 = 3 toe 3 anti-squat
3-2 = 3 toe 2 anti-squat

Thanks Sofa King...

Now another question is... which other spring brand can i use in sc10 shock? losi or tekno? are they the same size?

thanks

Avid springs

I wasn't aware that Avid made 13mm springs for the SC10 4x4. They certainly have 12mm springs for the 2wd or 10th scale shocks. Do you have a link to the springs?

what servo horn do i use for a savox 1258tg?
