are you just using the garo on the inside or all around with the vts?

anyone get a chance to read the review of the exotek clutch on rcsoup.com ?

it would be nice it it worked like he says. I seems there are 2 camps the rc shox v2 C Diff and the locked from hub. If I had a choice, I would use the locked hub because there is no special spur gear. and i can replace the gear at the track if i want.

I think you will still have plenty of steering with the Exotek locked slipper. At least, that has been my experience. I drive on highbite indoor clay though.

I read it. It was pretty convincing. I bought it for 11$ after shipping. I will give er a shot and report back about it next week. Probably wouldn't have pulled the trigger if it wasn't so cheap of an upgrade. Well see....
I run high bite too. Very slick sometimes

i wrote the article so id love to hear what other racers thought. im sure there will be another article about it the more i run it.

for slick tracks it seems to work pretty well. for a tacky track im not sure yet.

Well my track can get slick! Good write up on that. I'm stoked to try it. If it really does its job then that's a great price for that type of performance upgrade.

Looking for some advice.
I drive on short grass and use Fastrax Kourse kings as there is little other choice for grass.
I'm having trouble with the back end breaking free and spinning out half way round the long sweeper at the end of our straight. I can make the rear end step out all to easily on most of the other medium speed corners as well, I just can't seem to get it as planted as my 2wd.
Any tips on how to tune out the oversteer or tune in some under steer would be greatly appreciated.
It behaves very much like its been explained on here and needs fine, precise controlling and doesn't respond well to being thrown in to corners but I just feel that razor edge handling can be tamed a little more.
I can keep with one of the fastest guys at our track driving his X6 with 5.5t motor but the slightest lapse of concentration and I'm doing doughnuts and playing catch up.
Any advice?
FT truck and a front spring kit are my only tuning tools. Currently on stock shock internals and oils.

Yes great write up, I made my own inside clutch, I had some old slipper pads, these are white and seem to be some kind of Teflon, they appear to be old factory ones I picked up somewhere, I found what we call here in NZ a penny washer, just a flat washer, inside hole same as top shaft, outside same as slipper pad, so put one pad, then washer, then next slipper pad then outside clutch plate, and just like that you have a locked inside with a FT outside set up, cost $000, and like I've said before, works great.

Yes it will add a little wear on the washer, but it will last years, and I like to be inventive.

rear diff is clicking but I don't care I'll fix it later. Don't feel like ripping it apart. Just want to run LOL

Its hard to say without knowing your setup. Post your setup and we can help you more.

To gain more cornering traction in the rear you need to either stiffen the front or soften the rear. Best way is with swaybars and/or roll center adjustments that have been beat to death in this thread.

nice, nothing wrong with making things yourself.

While running the 8mm modification, i have a question. I am running my rear ride height at 23mm and with the blue front shocks on back.

I normally run west coast Raceway which is high bite clay indoor track. I hear a lot of people saying get the a arms parallel with the ground so they are horizontal. Is it more important to keep the ride height at 23mm?

Is anyone else having an issue with their sc10 being really loud? Alot of people think my 4x4 is a losi because its so loud lol. I'm going to tear everything down and relube, refill oils etc, but I just want to make sure if there's anything I need to look out for that is causing my sc10 to be so loud.

gear mesh off seems to cause most noise... i noticed if dirt got packed by the motor plate it causes the motor plate to be "off square" and caused my truck to be loud one night, cleaned it out and truck was smoother/quieter.

also check your idler gear, when they got worn that always seemed to be why my 2wd associated cars got loud.
