No, it's not, it's exactly the same.

They don't run a windshield. We run one - the rules require it.

They run rear fenders. Some fools in our hobby cut them off. I cut off part of my rear bumper because the rules don't require the mudflaps, but if they did, I'd put them back on.

Cant wait to run my truck on my local 1/8 track to see more about what Marcus is dealing with on the long fast jumps. I'm sure there is something we can all figure out.

My first thought is to at least start with the shocks out on the arms and not so laid down on the towers. Thinking middle hole. Since running the shocks inside on the arms kills the leverage and jumping ability. May have to build two sets of shocks.

@Marcus if you're reading this. Did you change pistons when you changed arm mounting?

Has anyone thought about running some kind of underbody to taper the air out the sides of the body to cause more of an arrow effect under the body instead of a Parachute?

Example: The Proline Scale Driver lexan underbody with a directional bottom? Create a flat plate across the entire truck so the air doesn't enter the body at all? (a psuedo buggy style)

I hope someone understands what I mean. Roughly, making the Short course body a closed up shell with forced airflow underneath the chassis itself?

was wondering the same thing as the parachute kind of reminds me of the old XX4 class 8 body days.

I don't think it would survive a crash very well.

One person has a problem jumping 30 feet and noa everyone thinks there is something wrong with their ride.


Most of us are not gonna experience this kind of jumping problem on a 1/10 scale track.



if you want it to jump like a buggy, buy a buggy. We have big bodies, they parachute, deal with it.

It wasn't just one person from what was described.

And in this instance the Losi didn't have the problem from what they described.

As the SC104x4 will compete against the losi, I don't think its a bad thing trying to get the vehicle to outperform the losi on all conditions.

With the 1/8 based SCTs around the corner, I am thinking getting the vehicle to jump as good as the others would be a big plus.

That video of Ryan clearing the big jump proved that the problems with the truck on big jumps is just with a few, not everyone ...

Don't know... but I had issues at the Canadian RC Pro Ontario last summer at two of the four tracks that had a Huge jump on one section of the track. Only one Losi guy was doing it at each track. Yes he won the series.

I would love to kwow how to make my SC10 4x4 jump big jumps!
This is the track with the big double in front of the camera man - sorry it's buggies doing it - I couldn't find a video of the guy doing it:

http://youtu.be/jzWR8NzMUYQ
I could get real close, kinda landed smack on top of the landing and never on the downside.

I figure out that there is a sweat spot of when to tap the brakes in the air but all I think I'm missing now is to lower the FDR on the SC10 4x4.... and hit the big jump I'm going to build on my practice track.

It doesn't have to be 30'. The four woops (aka: quad) where more time was lost than the double really, is probably a 15-18' jump, the Losi's could nail it every time. I got lucky and did it once or twice, but it wasn't consistent enough to try it every time.

It's not one person - it's every user who runs on an 1/8th scale track.

Where I was racing last summer, everybody was playing nice-nice till I showed up and started turning single-singles into double and double-singles into triples, and just killing it. Then everyone else figured out they could do it too. Then they figured out their trucks were better at it than mine was.

If you need to air this truck out, it's a problem.

That jump is one of our doubles

Honestly the jump Maifield is hitting in that video isn't all that big.

Of course taking nothing away from Ryan, he is insanely fast.

they have a head to head shoot out with the lose sce kit in rcca mag let you guys know. later

What size metric hex and nut drivers do you need for this truck?
