SC10 4x4 Thread
Hello,
This is awesome, I have just ordered my Sc10 4x4 from Tower Hobbies, cant wait till it arrives, have been reading for like the past hundred pages, must be so sick to race, I cant, cause I live in the UAE
but I ride Motocross so can just imagine how fun this must be.
I would like to know, is there anything specific that could be a worry on the SC10 for a somewhat beginner, it isn't my first truck, I have a Slash 4x4, but would be my first proper race truck and I would like to know if I should be weary of something in particular.
Cheers guys, have fun racing.

Looking for ideas...I'm fighting an on power push...
Home track has currently switched to a new layout, track is 100' x 45'. Essentially its straightaway, jump, 180 turn, straightaway, jump, 180 turn, ad nauseum...
I'm running an exotek chassis with saddle pack's, and the RCshox center diff & pistons.
Setup is Kody's latest from Trackside with F/R diff's being 5k and I'm using a 2.0 mm sway bar up front...3/2 block...
Truck is good, but not great, local hot shoe in a Losi is eating me up in these 180's...I'm better in than he is, but he drives right bye me middle out of corner, I've got some ideas where I need to go but I'm looking for suggestions.

Truck is not over driven, but the center diff does make it almost feel that way at times.
Diff's were just recently rebuilt so I want to try a few small things before doing something that drastic...

3-3 block, 1mm under rear camber link, 1 notch shorter on the rear camber link. this allows you to rotate before the apex and will give you better drive on exit. I am now discovering that alot of this on power push is coming from the rotation of the motor........ more on this later.

Had my first big race with exotek and saddle conversion, only fighting one problem.... belt skip... like to where i hear sounds from accross outdoor track that make me think it's about to snap in half.
i know i could be faster if i wasn't so afraid to pull throttle aggressively.
i am running mtk clutch basket, exotek with saddle conversion, strc tensioner pulleys. other than that drivetrain stock.
i run tensioners on 2 front and back, clicker locked, how do i get rid of belt skip?
