I do the following:

Rear hubs all the way forward for more rear traction and on technical tight tracks

Rear hubs all the way back for bigger tracks that are faster and flow well without a ton of technical stuff

drop right in no mods to get it to fit

I just bought a RTR with the FT conversion. I normally race onroad but wanted to try something else. My LHS recommended this truck over the Losi as it's layout is more similar to the TC's I'm used to working on and the weight transfer will be similar as well during acceleration and braking. I know the question has been asked and I did search for a clear answer but I didn't see anything specific. After talking to a friend of mine that races offroad, I was told I should've bought the Losi as it is more durable, so my question is, does the SC10 4x4 break parts often. Keep in mind I'm a noob to offroad so I expect some rough landings.

Any feedback would be great. Also suggestions on spares to keep on hand.

I've broken one part that was not assembly error. It's probably more durable than the losi.

For spares keep things like diff cases, arms (they may warp), screws, bearings and spur gears.

It is more durable then the losi especially stock vs. stock..........

With the Stock Losi I had awhile back the diff pins blew within day, the stock towers bent very easily, the front and center diff's leaked faster then the sc10 due to the wobbliness of the front drive shaft......

After owning my original SC10 the only thing I've broken was one stripped servo horn, and one servo saver and thats all........

To get more grip try blue in front a nd white front in rear. Try 30/27.5 oil

The.exotek will keep it down , its really worth it.

Thanks!
I want to try the exotek but my truck is already heavy as it is. It is noticeably heavier than one of the Losis at my track. I haven't put it on a scale but it is about 6.75 pounds RTR

Best part about those Losi's is beating um ...

What is preferred swaybar setup for medium sized technical tracks?

I went with orange front and rear.

I've only ran mine once so far on my track and it was all over the place. The truck had zero traction anywhere. I know a lot of that was because I was running the rtr tires but still I would have thought it would have drove halfway decent.

I'm throwing some calibers or tazers on it this week and give it a try again with the same swaybar setup.

I run tye exotek with a 550 motor and rx8 and 5600 battery and airtronics heat sink servo.
Strc aluminum steering, strc front & rear arm mounts.
I think mine its about as heavy as you can get it and a lot of people comment on how planted it looks on the track. Indoor or outdoor it's fast.

Both are durable but I break less stuff than my friend breaks on his Losi.

My batteries themselves are about 14oz and I added 3oz of lead weights plus a custom aluminum saddle mounts.

Yep, 3 oz front left corner myself.

what to add nexts for hop ups? love this truck do i need up grade belt pullys
