Hey all...I'm loving my SC10 4x4 but, like most of you, I'm trying to fine-tune my setup so the truck is a little more stable and "chuckable" in the corners. Right now I have to tip-toe into corners, although she pulls like a freight train out of the corners!

I'm pretty new to offroad setup but I'm wondering about folks unscrewing the rear shock eyelets to get more droop out of the rear. Wouldn't that allow more weight transfer forward which would make the rear end lighter and even more prone to stepping out while diving into a corner?

Also, are the swaybars only required/effective on relatively smooth, high traction tracks or would I see a benefit with swaybars on my fairly rough, dusty, low to medium traction track?

Thanks in advance for helping me understand these tuning concepts!

Cheers,
Mike

Reallly? Never thought of using those. Sure beats using a 3/8" drill bit just to get that little hole in the rubber.........

Where do you get them? SMART & Final? Punches R US? Dominatrix Emporium?

:rolleyes: :lol:

ThunderbirdJunkie cannot take credit where it is not due...he has not taken a dremel to his 4x4 at all.

At least not that he remembers. So it's still entirely possible, but he doubts it :lol:

Instead of going silly heavy with shock oil to reduce body roll, start stuffing some spacers under the inner ballstuds to lower the roll center. I"m on high bite clay and at 4mm of spacers, my truck will nearly controllably drift into a largish sweeper then power out straight. All without trying it's best to snap roll like a pattern plane...

FWIW, I"m running home made Sways (2.3 fr, 2 Rr), and Green compound Double Ds on front and soft HB Beams rear.
