After reading a bit on forums and in magazines I decided for the SC10 4x4 FT over the Losi SCTE. Because I mostly run AE and love the handling of all of them. Also because it was mentioned the AE is more "aggressive" and better handling on smaller technical tracks.

Well, not so sure anymore. My SC10 is 100% stock (always a good starting point). And very fast, that's not the problem...

First of all it is making noise (cracking). First thought it was the clicker but I closed it and it is under power and not while braking. It's also not a "clicker sound". It must be a gear box... As mentioned; the car is 100% stock. Can't remember adding shims and just checked the manual; also no mention of them. Is there a common issue with the gearboxes? Hopefully with a common solution?

My biggest problem however is that it doesn't handle very well. My B44.1 is sooooo easy to drive fast. This SC10 twitches, the back comes out all the time and basically it slides all over the place. Any advice? Don't feel like reading 2,013 pages... Hope you forgive me.

And to make it even worse; my friend decided for the SCTE and let me have a go; very smooth and very easy to drive without any tuning.... That pissed me off. I have read the AE is more difficult to go fast with but this much difference I did not expect.

It's a beautiful car and I love AE but so far I'm disappointed. Spent so much money to build a nice truck and now this

I dry on an outdoor medium traction clay track which is quite short and technical.

Any ideas what I should change to make it more stable?
