It's my dirt. It's 60% sand. It destroys Trucks in a single day. It really sucks.

yeah... I'm not going to blame you. Mine's hanging on the wall with no axles.

(now my slash is out of order, and my wraith. What a shitty week)

If anyone is looking for an SC10 4x4, SC10RS, radio, transponder, esc/motor combo

http://www.rctech.net/forum/r-c-item...-3800-esc.html

ive asked this before but it never got an answer,maybe thats because "no" is the answer...

anyway, anyone running the stock rtr esc and motor ?
iam and the reedy 550 3500 kv motor gets hot, about 170 after 8 minutes and its not as fast as the other motors the guys are using in 4x4 open.(ae says the max temp is 170)

the esc so far has been good but i just read on another furom that if you use a different motor other then the rtr reedy motor "bad" things happen. as for what those bad things are i have no idea.

i was thinking of geting another motor like a 1410 and running it with the stock esc. no im unsure what to do and money is getting tight.

Sorry to hear how you feel. But I'm the exact opposite. I'm loving this truck right now. The V2 center diff puts powers down consistently and jumps better as in air adjustments have improved. Got front blue springs on the rear and raised rear camber links has got me feeling like it's a whole new truck.

The only thing I haven't done is the rear camber, but It still cannot do what I (and assuming we) want. The truck needs half a pound, the I think i'd be happier. I'm working on a way to get this the way I want.
- My center mounted battery helped little to none outdoors. Indoors I noticed it.
- The center Diff V1 and 2 are great, but it doesn't Overpower the other things i'm trying to fix.
- My truck DRIVES great, Indoors. I don't need to calm the rear, blah blah.

It's all about how it's reacting outside, the track: no matter how much I do to the shocks and geometry, It doesn't want to stay put, Everyone comments how it looks like it's dancing around on it's tiptoes and not planted into the dirt. Some guys drive it and love it, they like the nimble feel. I get it, but i'm having to rethink my style to even stay in other trucks and get around the track "properly".

My Slash 4x4 LCG literally does circles around my Sc10. I've gone to leaving my Sc10 4 at home the last 3 weeks, truly. I want to figure it out. But I'm on my second "burnt out" phase with the truck I think.

(I'm expecting comments about not tuning correctly and that's fine)

saddle packs offer a bit more pull with the ft wheels , little more even handling left & right on the turns.



Can tell you base on my good
personal

experience & fantastic tech abilities ? .



Kodys JConcepts set-up performs unbelievable !!!!!

Feel it brings the truck to a whole new level and with it ?
Will put the hurt on the competition ...

Pick that set-up ....

Same here!! Im loving it again too


Food for thought Sean and it some things to think about:
Tires, i have noticed that with my SS blockades although they have great grip but ballon to about 10" in diameter! well if you think about it when you go into a turn they get smaller again and that makes weight transfer do all kinda crazy stuff, seeing that the truck is light i think it is more obvious. this weekend i am going to buy a set of Losi tires (they are cheap and work well here) and strap them to see if it helps. i do notice that the truck is more planted with other tires but the blockades are the worst!

You have an extra set of V2 pistons, take the rear rebound set drill them to 1.3 and go up to 32.5 in the rear, keep the shocks mounted on the inside arm hole.

I cant comment on what happens when you put another motor on the stock esc, but I just recently got my truck and for now am running the stock reedy motor and esc. At my track, it is more than enough power. I ran it for the first time last week and can honestly say I was not getting out powered by anyone. I was getting beat because of my handling and skill getting used to the truck. My track is indoor, small to medium size so power isnt a huge necessity. If you are running on a huge outdoor track I can see where it may be a problem. But for what I am using it for the stock esc and motor are fine. Hope this helps

I did exactly what Marcus said with the pistons front and rear with 35wt in front and 32.5wt in the rear. I also added that steel skid plate on the front adding about 5oz low,front, and center. My weight bias is 48% front to 52%rear and it feels well balanced on the track. This last Sunday I had several guys wondering how I set up my truck to keep it so smooth and planted. It weighs in at a hefty 6.9lbs but still drives inside of the Losi's. For outdoors I need the weight. The only area of our track that gave me issues was a 180deg turn at the end of a straight that is down hill and off camber. My tires had good side bite and too much speed would cause a wicked traction roll.

Coyote, raise the rear camber link, you might be suprised. I see that you have not done that and that is what has made the biggest difference on my truck except for experimenting with different rear tires. Can really push the truck, even when it is way out of shape, with the rear camber link raised.

I just listed a near new 5 pack old SC104x4 for sale. Has the FT upgrade package, FT swaybars front and rear, FT aluminum wheel hexes, DE Racing +3mm wheels and Proline Blockade tires....

Quick question guys:

A friend of mine gave me his SC10 4x4 to fix (motor screws came loose, easy fix!) and I figured I would go ahead and throw a chassis brace on there for him. Anything else you guys can think of thats cheap/easy? He only bashes with it using a 6 cell NiMh on pavement, sometimes grass.

If I get lucky maybe he will just sell it to me

I only run on indoor high bite clay tracks so my experience is limited to that. But I will say that these setup changes have changed the truck's on track attitude in the positive direction. I think now the only limitation to the truck is my driving ability. Well, YMMV.

does anyone have the part# for just the slipper spring. All I can find is the hardware kit.
Thanks

I don't think you can buy the spring separately..........At least I haven't been able to find anywhere you can..
