I'd suggest putting a bit in the existing holes and seeing which would be the closest fit to them. But the 3/32 should be close, I can't remember which I did mine off hand.

Talk8ing ab out the 3 oz in the batt tray, will the truck feel diff from one another if I stack 3 oz and place them behind the batt foam or if I just cutout a section in the batt foam and place them there linearly?

Maifields setup does not say it, but is the ballast weight used on the sc10 behind the tower? I have put 1oz behind there on my b4 and it fit nicely. or is that too far back?

Matt, sorry if I missed it but how much weight are you putting under the battery foam? Are you running the battery all the way back?

Thanks for the continued education

I run the 3oz in the back of the battery compartment, also running a shorty pack and an additional 20g in the battery compartment. I'm also using the ballast weight.

Would an aluminum front bulkhead so anything for steering or other thing that's positive? Or would it just empty my bank account faster? lol

17.5-13.5 depending on where im running, I have been taking some of the weight out for higher bite tracks and it's worked well.

Matt, have you ever run RPM front arms on the sc10? Are they softer/stiffer than the AE plastic ones?
