Basically you need to take the front section of the pan off the truck then you can pull the servo out from the back side.

Maybe a more comprehensive list could be added to the front page?

Nevermind its "F". I didnt realize the only difference is in the splines on the servo.
I'll add them when people post them.

Got mine all built... can't wait to race it. Thanks for all the info on here. Three of my shock shaft screws were loose. Diffs were empty. All set now!

My buddy that is getting into RC racing wants to buy the SC10 4x4 for the summer racing with 8th scale electronics like mine... but for the winter we race indoor carpet and they don't have a Pro4 class.

How hard would it be to make this thing 2wd for the winter? Would it be worth doing? He doesn't really want two vehicles.


This is what we were thinking and would this work?... remove belt and front axle shafts. add 48 pith spur/pinion gear and 13.5T motor (that's the limit in that class).

That would work, but it would not be competitive with any 2wd designed truck. The weight balance would be off for 2wd and it would be way heavier than the rest.

They may very well have a 4wd class once fall/winter comes along. You just have to pressure them to add it.

Yeah that's what I was thinking too... however I have brought it up in the past... and the owner said "They had that class in Ohio and they were lound and all over the place... this will never be a class at our track"

Anyways... I will bring my SC10 4x4 to the track this week "Wednesday" for carpet racing and I will put it on the track during practice to see how it goes (haven't got to drive my 4x4 yet since it's raining non stop here all week) Maybe once he sees how well it drives... he will let us have a class. (but they already have 3 classes that are run... and we fishish at about 10:30pm already.

Well an SC10 weighs 4.5lbs and the SC10 4x4's are around 6-7pounds right?

maybe with some good driving he could still beat half the field of noobs!

Mini race report:

I ran the "1/10 E-Challenge" this weekend at Hemet and did some more tuning on my truck.

I ended up with 350 front and 325 rear in the shocks, 30,000F and 4,000R diff with a 2.0mm front swaybar on AKA City Block SS rears and Soft fronts. I also discovered how much smoother the truck drives with the clicker activated though if you are a throttle/brake jockey you will NOT like it.

The truck did everything pretty well. It turns and jumps good. However through the rough this thing feels like it has "0" suspension especially in the rear. Running the 3-2 block I wish I had a 3-0 block as I am not one that likes anti squat or much at all in the first place. All in all I think the biggest down fall is the shocks or rather the shock seals. These shocks have so much seal drag IMO they don't function well nor of course properly. I have already ordered some standard orings to replace them and try to resolve this problem.


More to come......

Remove the upper X-Ring, #91055, this will free up the shocks and takes a lot of the stiction away and the shocks will feel much smoother. Don’t forget that the shock cartridge seal tube is directional!

That is in the first page and was suggest by Chris Jarosz from AE.

Try it out and let us know how that works.

This could work very well on carpet. Mid motor 2wd off-road buggies do very well on high grip surfaces like carpet and astro turf and a truck should be no different. The biggest problem could be weight so if you really want to give this a try I would remove all the front internal gears, diff, and anything else in addition to the belt and drive shafts.

It should be easy to do. It is just removing parts that you don't need for winter and putting them back on for the outdoor season.
