...I do need Cake.

Funny, Cake is my favorite band. I have been playing this track with distrubing regularity this week.

Cake, Nugget - NSFW, don't say I didn't warn you when you play it at full volume and your boss gives you the stink eye.

Cake is a fantastic Band. I don't want to change the topic but.... Yes. Win.

Edit: one of the only concerts i've been to was a Cake Concert. I 'had' to.

Those pads like I said are from 3 months of pre-pinned meyhem.

They used to drill brake rotors on real race cars till they came up with pad formulations that didn't need to holes to vent outgassing. I'm against drilling holes on friction surfaces because they always wind up cracking between them.

And if you can't clean up those pads with some motor spray and a piece of 400 grit sandpaper where they look like they are new, you've overheated them so bad you've dusted them.

Not an attack, just an observation.

I sure can. I can wipe away 75% of it with just a rag. It truly is the belt dust inside the holes in the vent. Some rough sandpaper roughs it back up and that's how i've used the same ones for so long. My HD pads are sitting in their package. I hear you on the holes in friction surfaces. I used it cause of the heat going on before I fixed it with the spacer I will end up going back to stock. Keeps my pads cleaner for sure.

I wanna know also where that spacer goes.

If you are really looking for the best possible shock then maybe try polishing the pistons with a dremel, a polish wheel and some red jewelers rouge (you'll find this wherever dremel products are sold).

+1...this is exactly what I did & my shocks are "like butta" (that's butter for the non New York accent folks) :D

I personally would recommend for you to just build the kit & run it first & foremost. Then decide what you need to do to get going faster. You personally might not need the "pin mod" for your track...or you might need sway bars instead? Everything depends on your driving style & the track your racing on...you gotta figure that out first before you can know what upgrades you will need.

He is correct. You'll definitely end up doing some modification. That's a no brainer. But Drive the truck. See what you don't like, then here's the thread to fix it.

See how the truck's slipper slips. If it's not to your liking:
1. Slipper Spacer Modification
2. MTK Slipper Basket

See how the truck does in your style of driving:
1. Leave it as a Decoupled Slipper Clutch
2. Pin the Slipper

Depending on your Track and "lawn darting" you may need to install a chassis brace as well.

Don't get ahead of not even having the truck yet. =D

taking a look at the tracks you will be racing on . here is something i would try with the shocks use the A1 pistons all the way around use bladders and for the front 30wht and rear 25wht AE oil . it will let your truck land those big jumps better . thats my setup and i can land big jumps with ease . gearing wise try starting out with the 12 tooth on those tracks and dont try to push it too hard at first . the sc10 4x4 is made to be driven smooth . remember smooth is fast . oh yeah try adding counter weight to the left front by the servo about 4 oz
