Yea, IDK what factors did you have to plug in because suspension geometry would have a big effect.

I think the front is naturally softer when approaching an obstacle then the rear because of the caster built into the arms. My rear end was planted running yellow fronts and blue rears but the front end would bounce over a single grain of sand and the rear would bottom out. Now I have been running yellow fronts with green fronts in the rear and it is level but I have sacrificed too much rear traction, I am going to start back at square 1 with my setup and try to find something that works for me, its good now but I cant be too aggressive or else I loose the rear end all over the place.

Here's my maths (attached) all units are inches or pounds.

I will also be starting over from scratch next week but I did this a little while ago. The spring seem to work but every track, driver, and even truck is different.

Default RC Pro Ontario Rd3

I put the Factory Team SC10 4x4 on the podium at RC Pro Ontario Rd3 last weekend - 8th scale track.

Didn't win overall but I did win A2 and finished 2nd overall.

put the 8mm mod back on the truck.. made a big difference without... this truck needs it in my opinion... added a few a ballstuds under the inner ballstud in the front.. that helped too

cool. like I said your track is higher bite than mine. IMO, it is needed on high bite. Yeah, I thought the ball stud washers up front helped me too. Did you make any other changes?

a little camber in the front was needed but not much... twisted the rear shock collars a few times.. the rear end looked a little lower than the front.. ride height was 22 in the rear and 24 in the front.. bumped it up to 24 all around.. seemed to be much better but still lacking something.. not sure what tho.. consistency is key!

yeah, I still need more confidence in what the track will do. Seems erratic now. I run my buggy and pull clean lap after clean lap. I drive the truck and I look like I am drunk.

Question...

I just had a JC hi-flow body painted and I need to mount it.



Which holes do I need to ream ? To me it looks like the first indents on the front and rear.

Thanks

Hi Flow? Looks like it hard to tell with all that paint on there!

I just painted one up but I checked before I painted it and yea its the front hole front and rear although the instructions say front in the front and rear in the rear. I would double check for yourself before taking my word for it though, would hate for you to ruin that body!

Two Tone

Ck the instructions included with the High Flow , shows which holes to punch for your ride .

for Sc10 4x4 punch the forward dents out of the Ft end of body, punch most rear dents for the back

welcome to the thread 9turn


Bearings blow out if you hit or land hard on just one wheel .

Best to always check & clean all of them after racing ...
