How is the fit? Someone else told me the jconcepts fit much better, the proline wheel is a little too thick. I'll try mine tonight.

This problem is even worse on off camber turns or turns right after downsiding a jump. Setup is stock.

You can try sway bars , or just lower the rear ride height 2m ..:cool:

I just need to get some more but it doesn't state what size they are in the manual.

Put you finger on the cv side to push it forward when you are pushing the hex on. It will "click" on all the way. Sounds like the axle is just sliding back when your installing the hex.

The Pro Line wheel is visibly thicker than the factory wheels. the nylon on the nut is just catching the first thread on the axle.

Its definitely something that I will have to pay attention to then running these wheels. Some blue loctite might be in order or I might see if I can find a slightly thinner nyloc nut

Until you've got sway bars I'd maybe try front tires with a little less grip, and move the shocks to the outer holes, or stiffer springs to stiffen it up a bit.

Guys,
I posted about this about 2 days ago. Same issue, and yes my cvd pins came out. I had just put electronics I'n and was setting mesh and belt. I shimmed like crazy, but unneccesaily to fnd out. Once u put the hex's and wheels on tight, they are tight as well and o issues. However, I like mine really tight so when I have it on the bench and am working, like I was, they won't come off. So I ended up using 2 each rear 2 front. Still may add 1 n front tho.

Has anyone running the truck had an issue with the CV joint pins coming out? I guess I gotta find some shims to ease my mind.

I used whatever was in the bags and have not had nay issues with pins coming out. As long as you snap your hex adapters on all the way it isn't going anywhere.

The BLitz wheel nuts are a M4 nut as well and would probably work well on the thicker wheels since they don't use the nylon locking. They have a serrated back that keeps the nuts from backing out.

Thank You, I will look for some today :nod:

You haven't "snapped" the hex all the way onto the pin. The play behind the hex to bearing should be .1-.2mm not very much at all.

If you have installed and tightened the wheels on and then remove you should see that this process will click them into place. Other wise you have to hold the driveshaft into the hub and push the hex on to snap it over the pin. :)

Ohhhhh thank you!!

Traxxas Slash Wheel nuts fit and they have a knurled lock in addtion to the nylon lock, They work great when you run the Pro-Line wheels.

Traxxas nuts #1747R should work great in this case.

I am running savox 1268 servo, MMP SCT system, Spektrum micro receiver, M11 with spektrum module not the pro. i know the savox is a high voltage servo. My problem is that it is glitchy and also effects the motor and esc. How do I eliminate this any help is appreciated. Also, I am running a 35C 5000mah 2S lipo.

Sc10 4x4 motor pinion and pitch
 
I just got a sc10 and have the castle 1410 with the sidewinder. What is everyone using for pitch and gearing? I read the first page but wanted to know if anyone has tried this combo and if they smoked the esc and what gearing worked best. Thanks

I used the 32pitch spur with a 13 tooth slash/Emaxx 32 pitch pinion . I havent raced it yet but it drives really good just bashing around with this set up . Rick
