he meant the steering rack, where the two parts meet right below the servo saver spring. what it does is that it makes the steering more accurate and responsive. or you can upgrade to the avid, jconcepts or even the ae rack which deletes the need for the servo saver

Is there a thread on this? Im sure ill see what you mean those once the truck comes in the mail.

well more precisely the servo saver gets glued up.

Any aftermarket aluminum ones I could get for a spektrum s6040?

Would these resolve the issue?

I definitely need to get the rpm bumpers asap.

I ordered the rpm front and rear bumpers and ball cups. I might get the bell crank setup local.

JJ, Get some track time with the FT Truck. All of the "upgrades" won't mean anything if you can't get around the track. The Niceities like Big Bores and Alum steering racks will help but things like new CVD's, Turnbuckles, Diff, RPM bumpers, etc are not neccessary IMO. The FT team equip is very high quality... Hexes make it nice because you can use the same tires on the front and rear, other than that they really don't serve a performance upgrade. I would reccomend when you do decide to get some new tires to go with the +3mm rims. I use DE Borrego rims, I like the way they look. Hope this helps

I agree! I run mine bone stock and do very well. I still run the stock wheels as well and haven't had a problem. Drive it stock until you can push it to it's limits then you can begin to tune it and figure out what performance upgrades you want.

Thanks for the tips. I got the rpm bumpers cause im sure ill be crashing a lot at first.

I have made a good decision. Im gonna run my Losi esc and Team Checkpoint 19T "Money Motor" in my mod factory team sc10 until it gives up on me.
I have it geared 84/19 im pretty sure it will be fine geared this way.
I was gonna run a 10.5 brushless system in it anyways, so that can help
getting me prepared for that upgrade. That team checkpoint motor is a BEAST on Lipo power. I really wish that company was still around. They made the best brushed motors money could buy!

I was running a brushed more in my kids sc10 with a lipo. It got tor up pretty quick. I still have my lathe, so I can cut it. But that motor wont last too long. A 10.5 will haul butt though. I tried one in my sc10 and even boosted it a little and it haul booty around the track.

They're called TrakPower now. Check em out.

wait team check point changed their name? I though track power was a Tower Hobbies brand
