Here is the link for the avid springs:
http://www.avidrc.com/product/19/springs/
While you are there, check out the site, the format and products are definitely easy on the eyes. You will need to get different shock spring retainers; check earlier posts (page or two back) for options (including Avid).
Yes, I made my shocks as instructed in the manual. I think 1/10 scale shocks typically have no bladder and zero rebound, but a more experienced rc'er can correct me.
Make sure your spring retainers are on correctly. They should slide over the eyelet with a nice sliding fit and hold the spring quite reliably. Maybe you have them upside down?
Regarding the horn, were you using the one as instructed by the manual? There is maybe a little aluminum ring that keeps the plastic gear in tact. I am not aware of an aluminum horn, but with something like the sc10, chances are there's an aluminum anything somewhere. Maybe someone else will point you there.
Hope your wife enjoys it.

Yeah, I think Avid is good for bearings, buck a piece unless you want ceramic. Just select bearings, then kit, and use the drop down menu to select your ride. You can get a complete kit replacement for like 18 bucks.
I haven't put anything new on my SC10 for a long time, but I'm about two steps away from getting the Avid springs, just so she (my truck) knows I still care about her.

alumiun servo horn
so far for an aluminum servo hor the only one that i could find that use 4/40 is the losi. i have no idea if this will work yet or not but i might buy one and try it out and see. all the rest have a 3mill thread so unless there a conversion i dont know about to get the ball to work.. the losi might be best. im a little mad the ft team did not come with the 12mm hexes bummed out there so there like 3 or 5 more things to get now. do those avid hexes get a ride of all those shim for the rear tire or do you still need them?

hey guys i have a lot of slop in one of my trucks in both front and rear end, should i just tear it down and rebuild them? are the castor blocks that are stock in the ft kit 30 deg? one truck has enough space to place one washer on the axle to set the height and the other truck dont have enough space for any, so how do i go about setting the axle height if i can place shims in there or can only use one?

I'm sorry if this has been asked before but I couldn't find any info...for installing the ballast weight (part # 7488) whats the trick to reinstalling the arm mount? I can't get mine to go back far enough to get the screws back in. The mount seems to be hitting the weight.

Can someone please post the need parts to convert over to 12mm hex rims. I know the rears, mainly need the fronts. Wanting to convert all our SC10s over so the wheels all interchange with our others.
Thanks,
Vince

Big bores. I've heard from different drivers with different times frames. From July of this year to March of 2013.
Part # 9880, 9881, 9882 & 4449. Then run what ever hexes you want. Avid or Jconcepts.
