The parma stuff works excellent. use that on everything now. I also clean the surface with goo gone first.

Questions, shock upgrades? anyone try a 16 mm BB from an 1/8th scale RC8E.2 maybe?
Can you tell me all the best mods to do to one, i read into the Exotek chassis, seems pricey, but hey its racing. Then the slipper lockout plate they make. What else?
Some of the highlights of my truck so far.
Novak Ballistic 4.5, Flow & fan, Ds1015 servo, shorty's or saddles, JC Hi Flow body, Hazards with some blockades to start (loose outdoor, 1/8th scale track, dry usually).
Thanks for any suggestions.
Krom.
Me personally on loose, bumpy, outdoor 1/8 conditions I found benefit to the following in this order:
- M2C Rear Toe in Block (3.5 degree toe setting)
- Exotek Chassis
- RC Shox Center Diff
- RC Shox dual stage pistons
- Front AE Spring Kit to use on Rear
There was some testing doe on 16mm big bore shocks by a variety of people on this thread and it sounded like they worked really well.
Pretty much the main complaint against the SC10 4x4 that I would still say is unresolved is that on large jumps, there isn't as much control for in air corrections, nose up or nose down like other designs. It seemed like if you came off the jump at all wrong, it wasn't possible to save like other cars. And sometimes it wasn't consistent, sometimes its nose up, or down, etc on the same jump with the same approach. I even noticed this indoors carpet for more consistent surface.
You may find benefit like AE mention that one of there drivers did to not go for the big triple or whatever like other 1/8 based cars can do (Tekno, SCTE, etc) and single double, or whatever. Play to the strengths of the vehicle.
If you would like a setup to try, feel free to shoot me an pm with your email address. If was the final one I came up with outdoors that I felt worked really well and uses the parts I mentioned.
Good luck though, outside of the issue I mentioned above and the general quirks of the vehicle that are known (more to get to the diffs, etc) I enjoyed my sc104x4 but wanted to share parts with my Tekno EB48, so went with the SCT410.
