SC10 4x4 Thread
Congrats to you man! I just got me my Factory Team kit yesterday, from Hobbytown USA, outside Chicago. The box had been opened but the guy said everything was in the box. Went straight home and counted all the bags, and everything added up. I've been checking out this thread and it's way too huge to go through, but still very informative. The tips to building the car are great. It's good to know what the known issues are before I start my build. I just have one question for anyone how cares to answer. If you could go back to your original build, knowing what you know now, what would you have done differently? I don't mind the difficulty of the kit, in regards to how hard it is to work on. I like a challenge! 

Check out the first page on this thread

8mm or similar mod when I was racing carpet indoors. Trackside shock orings. Pro4 motor out of the gate. Front springs on the rear shocks. Car was infinitely better with the front blue springs on the rear, so for me buying the front spring kit and not wasting money on the rear one.
And assuming I was building it right now, based on what I have experienced, RC Shox center diff V2 and RC Shox pistons (assuming bumpy conditions).
You talking about those post of mine? rctech was freaking out on me, kept saying server was busy, so I kept hitting refresh. Once i was able to see the page again, I saw I had the same post 3-4 times. lol, I only wanted to link the electric screw driver once......

+1 Front spring kit
+1 RCShox Center Diff. I dont have one, but a lot of people seem to really like it, well besides WC.
+1 to a good motor. I dont think the Pro 4 is the way to go, but I would try the reedy sonic 4.5 550 for sure.
+1 Add 7-8mm of external limiter front and rear. of your diff might explode
+1 to the +8mm mod if you are on high traction. Really helps with traction rolls.
- Start off with the +3mm rims and the right tire. Talk to people at your track that run your truck and are fast. Buy the tires they use.
******* Dont use a 30c pack.....Try to get a 65c pack or there abouts. Gens Ace has them for a good price.
- I dunno what esc you have, but you can get good ones for under $100 or you can spend the cash on the tekin rx8 like most of the people here (not me, lol)
for batteries if these hyperion 6000s give up the ghost the ones from promatch are prices reasonably and have a nice warranty on them.
For ESC, went speed passion GT2.0 after the MMP couldn't handle it without mods. Not a real knock on the MMPs, they just don't have the BEC designed for this stuff (loved it in 1/8 e buggy usage, no mods). the Speed Passion GT2.0 Pro for the money has no issues in 4x4 sct.

Honestly, all it's gonna take is a square piece of plastic/carbon/wood that has the two outer holes to hold it against the bearing carrier, and three holes 8mm above that. I made my own from a piece of a traxxas slash chassis, worked fine.
