I wish there was something that protected like the RPM bumper but wasn't so ugly and in the way. It hits on some jumps and bumps.
I want to try the killer bones???? I can't remember the name of it now. It looked smaller and out of the way.

you could by the FN Cuda chassis brace and use your stock bumper.

That is what I got as its not as heavy as the RPM bumper and puts the weight down low, protects the chassis front end from breaking. Heck, the manufacturer of it even runs a broken chassis still with it on (he used it to repair his chassis) to this day.

You can also cut the RPM brace and still use the stock bumper. That's what I did.

So...

If I just want to replace the stock RS hexes with set screwed Al ones... Which would I use. I'd like to keep the stock offset because I already have the Hazard wheels.


Thanks in advance.

What are you wanting the alloys for? Reason I ask is that if its so they hexes stop coming off, you can just drill the hexes and put a set screw in them. I did that for the fronts, works great.

+1 I like the jconcepts ones. But first thing to do is buy 2mm x 6mm bolts since they come with 2mm x 4mm. You can buy a bag of 4 in the airplane section for $2. Don't forget to use tocktite.

You mean the T-Bone Racing front bumper? Or you could get a set of these.



Oh wait, I made those myself. Man I love building r/c cars tricker than anyone else.

Oh I talked to the admin about changing the name of this thread to "How to convert your SC10 to hexes and big bore springs", being that those are the only two things ever being discussed here.

Hey h8thatadmin:

If you don't mind me asking, what color Losi springs do you run on your front and back of the SC10? Thanks

Yes, T-Bone Racing bumpers.

Careful, you might need rotator cuff surgery. Maybe I'll make my own too.

No problem. Rear springs are 22 buggy rear pinks (2.3) and front are 22 buggy front blues (3.8). I know the rates don't cross exactly, but they work well. I didn't do my normal run with X change to Y thing. I just slapped them on and raced. Next time I go and practice with my SC10, I am going to put the AE springs back on, run the truck, then switch the springs to see if there is a difference. For ride height I am running 31mm front, and 30mm rear.

Rotator cuff surgery? You should make a set, they work very well for keeping the front of the chassis nice and stiff. If you make a set, be sure to post a pic of them.

What AE springs were you running prior to going Losi bb?? I am running AE Red (front) Greys (rear) just trying to get an idea prior to buying some..

Any rim manufacturer do an offset rim for the FT SC10 without hexes??

Thx...
