I looked at rc10.com setups and some of them are so far off the mark I couldnt imagine how they got there. Like using buggy c hubs on top of the rear hubs lol. I'm going to tune the truck with kit parts and will try not to modify things and overcomplicate it.

Cain got your email. Thanks for the setup. Haven't tried anything yet. Did order exotek hubs, slipper locker and steering rack. Wanted to try the exo hubs for the rear link mod. Didnt feel like mounting hubs to a hub lol.
The LRP Flow and Sonic 550 is super smooth in this truck. Not sure why everyone feels the need for bigger indoor racing. My truck with kit setup rocked. Truck was so easy to drive.
Only change I made was moved rear hubs to the long position. This seemed to give it more stability without taking away any traction or steering.

I have been running my sc10 4x4 rtr on a backyard track and feel like i don't have enough power, I have the xp1200 with reedy 550 3500 kv motor. How can I get more power with this esc/motor? Do I need a diff esc/motor setup?

Use a quality lipo battery and the correct pinion gear.

when you go to a bigger pinion gear, watch your temps. the kv on the motor is a bit low on 2S based on what others are running with different kvs.

I'm running badlands, so a higher kv motor would help Cain?

yeah or more voltage.
You could try bigger pinions but then you can get into heat issues if the motor has trouble pulling the gearing.
If your ESC had timing features like boost, I could make some suggestions there too, but if you are new, may be easier to just work with another motor.
Not sure what your ESC can handle though.
