R/C Tech Forums - SC10 4x4 Thread

The updated slipper sounds like exactly whats needed, the Clutch basket has made rear slippage far more manageable for me personally, but the front pad (inside the spur) has gotten pretty badly glazed after every run.

Hopefully they get the new pieces out soon, bit annoyed that I just picked up a FT top shaft for the rear though :rolleyes:

What's up guys! Finally got the sc10 4x4 up and running this last past weekend. Took it to the track on the stock tires, they sucked pretty badly. But I knew that already, it actually did really well considering the surface I run is really dry. I was wondering, have any of you guys ran the duratrax wheel and tire setup? I was looking into them and was thinking the shotguns? I run the caliber sc's on my sc10 2wd and really like them. What do you Guys think?

I just wanted to throw this out there to see what you guys think. I'm running Cavs set up & I'm needing a little more steering. I was thinking of trying 20k instead of 30k in the front. My rear shocks are out on the tower & front shocks are in the inside holes. Should I try a thicker rear sway bar instead of changing the diff fluid? Lmk what you guys think. Thanks!

Hey there all, just ordered my SC10 4x4 and just wondering if there is any mods that need to be done to it.
Cheers Scott

Try raising your rear ride height by a mm. or 2, It should help.

Thanks Slot, thanks tbird, I didn't even think about raising the rear ride height. I will try that first, then try the 20k if it's needed. Thanks!

With the old style slipper ?

It sometimes demanded a very tight setting to keep the rear plate from slipping.
Canceling out any benefit the slipper could bring to the car as the slipper was about locked up to get proper acceleration ...

How can design still be the same when currently the rear plate which runs the front of the truck is NOT connected or driven by the shaft, the plate is keyed into the pulley that runs the belt. If you pin the rear plate to the shaft you no longer have a decoupled slipper.

^^ this makes sense but instead Cherry talks out of both sides of his mouth and makes no sense. Why Cherry Why didn't you just post what Kellogg did:confused:
