I actually ran the kit tires up front and proline snipers in the rear. Most of my issues came from the front having too much traction. The RCShox diff is supposed to help with that also on loose tracks.
Thanks for the tips. I have the Exotek. I will try a tire change this week. If that doesn't work I will invest in the rcshox.

For the rear toe block, skip yeah racing and look at the M2C part thats adjustable.

I'm going to pick up the hot racing front steering blocks to see if I can get rid of some of the slop. When I say slop, it's not as bad as the scte, but still more than I like.
Hot racing does not make the best stuff, but it's worth a try.

Oh no those are pieces of crap they snapped at graphite second run.

Yes and yes, not really even looked at them since going metal, other than a bit of oil in the bearings, had them about a year now.

Overdrive up front with locked inside slipper, VTS slipper outside set right, have you done the other 200 mods to the truck yet? It can take some time (and huge effort) to dial.

If you don't mind me asking, taking into account you did your homework BEFORE you got the SC104X4, and for a outdoor loose track, (like I race on) why did you buy the SC10 over the other trucks on the market?

I have a love hate relationship with this truck, but knowing what I know now I would have never bought it over a year ago, it is a very very solid truck and I'm getting it to were I'm competitive on large outdoor tracks, and I have broken nothing, ever.

All the info you will ever need is in this thread, it can be hard to find with the search function at times, but your problem is a very common one.

Has anyone had problems with the belt coming off the front pulley under power? It completely ruined my night last night, I couldn't finish either qualifier or the race.

Belt came off about five times, while under power. I dont know for sure if it was related to jumping, as *almost* every time it happened I noticed it after landing. once was on the gravel, I test drove it and all was well until I put some pressure on it.

replace belt & pulleys
readjust belt tension
replace homemade chassis brace with Ae brace
ck rear motor mount see if improperly installed on chassis

Ha Ha, there would not be a Ae brace if it was not "homemade" first.

I'd check you don't have the tension pulley around the wrong way, if it is it can slide out and flip the belt off, I did it once, no need to replace anything, mine's never done it again.

Your looking at the guy that made the first chassis brace for a Sc10 4x4.

BTW A Ae team mate gave me the idea...
