Shocks most likely wont be long enough, the gull wing design arms allow the shocks to be mounted lower which means the front shock tower can be mounted lower. so you would have to use the shock tower as well and that doesnt look too promising for the body mounts.

Well, tested out the new BB's and they are definitely an upgrade. The truck was much more planted and even when I missed the backside of a jump, it was butter...:D
I know they are pricey, but they are worth it. |

Thanks Borack and cnt wait to see em, I have a tuning question guys. My setup is this
40wt ft oil Piston 3 Losi 22t green spring 6 limiters 30 mm ride height Inside on tower Outside on arm Link inside 2mm washer on tower A hole on caster 30 deg caster Knuckle with washer under 1/4 oz in ft triangles 30wt oil rear Piston 2 Losi bb 22t white 29mm ride height 3 limiters 4th drill hole on tower Inside on arm 3 onboard toe .5 deg hub Shaved ubrace/ c hub 3oz under batt foam/ ballast under tranny Med wheelbase What I'm trying to accomplish here is to eliminate some more of that body roll, I took away some by moving the ft shocks out on the arm and going from piston 1 in rear to #2 and that helped but I wnt to take out more and also gain a lil bit more rear traction when I punch it out of corners. Can I get a lil tuning help from the gurus? Lol |

Did you use the suggested setup? What springs?
Front: 35wt AE oil, 5 limiters, 1.5 piston & Avid yellow spring (3.48 lbs.) with short cups. Rear: 30wt. AE oil, 1 limiter, 1.6 piston & Avid yellow spring (Batch 1 @ 1.99lbs.) with medium cups. I did use the shims that were provided because I didn't want to shave the towers. The shims actually move the springs away from the camber links with no ill effects. At first I thought the front felt way to soft, but went ahead and tried it. Nope, they were perfect. These things sucked up the bumps and were so plush on flat landings with no bounce. |

If your in a testing mode, try moving that same ball stud to the out side hole on the shock tower to give it a shorter camber link. Just something to try. Note how it feels and see if it will help or not. The rear had a huge effect on the truck as well. I've made some changes in the rear that made it more stable but loose. It's kind of a trade off. I've been playing around with setups lately and they I'm pleased with the results. Some times they work, sometimes not. |

No, I kind of went with my own setup based on my current setups.

Getting ready to build mine today did you use the stock orings and with the provided shims did it rub the turnbuckles at all ??
The shims move the springs away from turnbuckles. |

Much appreciated. For those that don't have the AE or Avid springs - TLR big bore springs fit nicely and to mimic this setup, or even AE's the TLR Silvers are 3.4in/lb and the TLR Yellows are 2.0in/lb. |
Can someone recommend a good servo for the SC10 rs 2wd? We bought the rtrs and are looking to replace the servo soon. The cheaper the cost the better, but I understand not throwing money away, and perhaps going a bit more $ for a much better servo I would consider also...TIA.
