But in high bite the front end might dig in more and throw the rear around.
With a thick center diff you should have a lot of power out the rear which will make it swap ends easier on power.... I am going to set mine up per a good known RC8 setup and see how that works...5 5 5 all the way. I'll post how it works.. |
Gear Mesh
Anyone notice that the clutch bell and spur gear barely touch? Anyone come up with a solution? I tried taking a little metal out of the chassis so I could have more adjustability. It was not enough though and didn't want to get to crazy with the drill and dremel.

|

Interesting thread , i will be keeping tabs on it for my SC8e build.
|
I had bought the Big bore shock kit front 28mm rear 38mm. Im wondering what sring rate, piston size, spacers, and oil weight peopl are going with. Also, what would I have to change to be able to put on the 32mm truggy shocks up front? I would greatly appreicate it if someone could help me out... THANKS :D
|
come on now, lets keep this thread going! Gotta keep the SC8's on top
|
ok with me.
the 2 tracks i run at are not open yet. this thing has been sitting on my shelf for about 2 months. are tracks dont open untill mid to end of may. (snow just melted away) hard to keep my hands off this truck. i bet ive torn it down, made minor changes 3 or 4 times with out even being on the track yet. lol looks like a practice day this weekend. finally!!!!!!!!!!! |
I'll add to the thread just to keep in on the front page.
I've been bashing the crap out of mine for the 3 weeks that I've owned it. I can't count how many times I've cartwheeled, rolled, and flipped it. It is really tough. Here's some pics. http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/138/dsc0001mwj.th.jpg http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/6006/dsc0009vhi.th.jpg http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/1551/dsc0012wuu.th.jpg http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/1590/dsc0015dwz.th.jpg |

Yeah, 1/10 are tiny. In fact, my SC8 was dwarfed the other day by a Baja 5T. Man, I like those trucks too. That guy didn't have to gas up once in at least 20 minutes. And the engine never died. They seem like very reliable trucks. It may be next on my list. Anyone wanna buy a kidney? |
come on fellow Sc8 racers!!! lets get this party started!!! I just joined this forum and Im excited to hear what people are doing for set ups....
|
I just need to figure out HOW to do the different setups, like diff, brake bias, etc. And whether I should get big bore shocks, a different pipe, more aggressive tires.....
|
just ordered the big bore kit from AE, got everything but the front shocks which are back ordered :( my next set up Im trying to find out is the diff fluids and better servos
