What is the best way to get 4 hole pistons? Drill them? Are 4 hole pistons often used on a big dry low traction blown out track?

I just got the JConcepts sway bar kit for an indoor carpet track. They won't do you much good outside on a loose track.

Anyone mod the rear roll center?

So, in spite of having a chassis brace and not having too many hard crashes my chassis has cracked in the brace either side of the servo.
Is it likely to get worse, or now that it's broken maybe it'll just flex a bit there and not move along further? Bleh. |
Gear Suggestion...
I am running a Reedy Sonic 8.5T Track is medium traction dusty, its a fairly big track more suitable for 1/8th. all turns are 90 and 180 no sweeping turns. has one long straight with a jump. can you guys help me with a good starting point ? Thanks |

Thanks Basically the same as what was stated above; but smaller spur, smaller pinion (less weight) and moves the motor forward a touch. |

The shaved brace/C hubs are rarely used on the SC10. http://www.rctech.net/forum/electric...ll-center.html |

Yes, they are slightly better on rough tracks at slower speeds and still give good pack on the big stuff. Of course you can make your own as well, but you'll need a numbered drill bit set. #61-80. If using AE stock pistons, start by adding 2 holes with a #63 bit and try it. They are looser in the bore than Avid, so you can use a slightly smaller hole. |

Since I will be replacing the rear brace, original part number is 9564. I see Associated has a graphite replacement 9565, would that be worth getting?
There's not a huge difference to be found unless you're running on high grip indoor surfaces. The graphite is stronger, but will "pop" rather than distorting around the ballstud. |

I had the same body so assumed the same problem. My issue was the tires hit the wheel wells when shocks were compressed.
However, the Proline Raptor shell isn't quite wide enough when running +3mm, Especially if you're using PL tires (they're wider/square shoulder makes it worse). You have to have the body perfectly centered over the rear end. Mine barely touches and I run the body as low as possible. I had to open up the wheel arches in the rear a bit beyond the trim lines. Not a huge deal for the most part they don't touch. |
