Thats a tough one, what is your order number, i can make sure you get a 60t. i wouldnt try to drill them by hand, if the balls are not in the same groove it can cause balance and grip issues. the next time i order spurs i can get a 58 for you but it will be a week or so.

Default Saddle packs

Well, for 2012 my new years resolution is to try saddle packs in my truck. I've stayed away from them simply because I have plenty of stick packs but I broke down & bought some nano tech saddle packs. Everyone says they make the truck handle better & I haven't heard any negative feedback on them yet so I'm excited to give them a try.

Default Not Bad

The truck felt good with the saddle pack mod but I didn't get to race it and compare times from Saturday.

Your cross weights look good, and nice idea using unmounted wheels for set up.

Looks like you need one mudflap on the right rear and your good to go.

If you are going to plug it into the receiver it doesn't have to be too fancy or a specific type. Just get one with a microfarad rating of 500 -1000 from your local radio shack.

If you are trying to help the weak bec, not really. It needs to go somewhere between the esc and the servo, so the easiest place to tap into the positive and negative wires is at the receiver. If you have a cheap plastic gear servo or one that is broken, cut the plug off to solder the positive and negative leads onto the capacitor. Make sure to take note of what wire coming out of the capacitor is positive and negative.

Hey guys, I am considering a SC10 4x4 for racing. Looking through some of the posts in this forum I am seeing a LOT of mods! What is the deal with this truck? Are these mods necessary? I am recovering from a couple of seasons struggling with a truck that required several mods to become competitive. I would rather not get into this situation again.

The other truck I am looking at is the SC10 FT which seems competitive out of the box.
