Just installed the Avid springs in the rear. I'm running the RPM rear hubs and the rear camber links hits the Avid springs.

Is this a common problem? Any mods to avoid this?

Maybe the rpm hubs...i run the standard hubs and mine dont rub.

I've got the FT aluminum hubs and they don't rub.

thats what im looking for the fronts man, the rears are just bolt on. i would love to see some clean front swaybar setups that are out of the shock coils way since i am running bb springs . just want to get ideas of making it clean looking and effective also that will attach to the front or back outside of the arms.

Here's one that I found when I typed in FRONT SWAY BAR into the search thread part.

Maybe, I am just too tired, But am I the only one who has wondered how the sc10 gt would be with an electric conversion?

Hey guys need some help or suggestions one, I keep snapping my front left axle and idk why. I'm not making sideways landing or hitting pipes , walls or anything. I do drive hard but no way in hell a thick metal axle should b breaking, I have replaced it 4 times within the last 2 wks it is the same side that is what is a killer and I replace it with brand new not used at all. Should I try the lungford ones are they better?

Wildcat1971 09-23-2012 02:21 PM

you are snapping the axle? Picture please. I find this hard to believe.

I have seen it before. It breaks at the pin hole. I have never broken one but the one I did see, the guy nosed his left front into a large triple. Wasn't surprising to see after a hit like that. Takes a pretty big hit to break them

I just saw this last night from a guy at my track. The only thing I can think of is, our right hand turns are the higher speed corners and a lot of people hit or scrub the pipe in these spots. :confused:

I assume this is with the hex axles in the front. weird. I would think you would break and arm or hub first.

I have broken 2 front axles on my SC10 RS in 2 weeks time. I was instructed to lay my front shocks down as much as possible to see if that makes a difference. So far, I've lasted a week without additional breakage. I ordered 2 backup axles from AmainHobbies, so I'm prepared for the next breakage. I'll have to look up the Lungford option.

Man that is exactly where it kept breaking, I started having this prob like 2 wks ago and have had this truck for 7 months. And do upkeep like every 5-6 days. Idk what the prob is guys so I think I have a solution coming in the mail today lol, guess what it is .........a new truck lol throw the same setup on it and see how she rips lol:sneaky:

Idk if that is the solution u may want because making those kinds of changes also changes the setup also and idk if that is the effect u wnt man
