Whats the difference between the front and rear driveshafts? I bent a rear one and replaced it with my spare front and it seems the same.

Hi. I have just purchased a new SC10 4x4 RTR. Should be arriving soon. Can anyone tell me as I cant tell from the pictures, is the receiver seperate to the speed control as I want to add my own receiver. Is it a straight forward plug in job?
Any other tips you can tell me for a new owner of one of these? Other than reading this WHOLE thread

Yeah, I don't know when it happened though. A rear dog bone was also bent.

Ran my sc10 4x4 with the clutch basket and garodiscs. I stripped an idler gear..is this because I had the slipper cranked down too much?

Congrats! breaking this truck takes some real doing. I've tried and failed on several occasions.

Rear driveshaft is 1-2mm longer than the front(eyeball, didn't measure). Possibly could pop out at full compression using a front on the rear. You can fully compress that side and look to see if its close to coming out or not. Might be OK.

Thanks for the info! The more I learn the more I find out there is to learn. Overall I like the handling much better than I did before the center diff and dual stages.
I could push the big 90deg sweeper as hard as the tires could grip without traction rolling like I was before, it would go right into the perfect drift angle instead and with too much speed would drift to the wall gradually rather than roll or spin around.
While most of the other guys were more green than I running 2wd's it still felt great being the fastest guy out there and I got a lot of practice pacing the other cars from a few feet behind watching out for an avoiding them when they wrecked and trying out different passing lines.
I think your right about the rear traction, while the fronts would ballon, it was only at near full throttle with the 4k pro4 and the rears were laying some rubber in the process. I guess I can't ask for much more than having all 4 wheels spin at the same time.
I'm think saddle packs may be the missing ingredient in this, having that weight riding a little closer to the front should help keep it more distributed.

has anyone tryed the trakpower 5400 60c saddles? They seem like a good quality pack. Id perfer an orion, but up here in canadia, high capacity/high C batterys are hard to get.
