got 4 weight blocks all "shrink tubed" up waiting for maifields setup for the truck

always liked his high-bite t4 and b4 setups on my cars.

two 1oz (28g/ea) or two 1.5oz (42g/ea) waiting to go up front.

so ~60g and ~80g

Hey guys, I'm letting my sc10 go. Take a look. I also have an exotech chassis for sale along with a bunch of barely used tires for the truck.

Anyone have thoughts on both who has actually used both setups?

Anyone using the MIP bypass pistons that has any setup tips for a bumpy outdoor loose track?
I am running the vts v2. I also own the front locker and have tested back and forth for 2 days on and off. My conclusion. ....
The vts alone is superior on an indoor clay track. I could drive hardwr and consistently faster without it.
Many people say its good for outdoor but I would not know... I doubt it tho

Yea we only have a couple of outdoor tracks here. Marrysville is nice, slag it river is too far. And deans in kent is for 1/5. And there all like hours from me. I stick to trcr, brcr, and 4seasons. All the good outdoor tracks are on the easy side of the mountains. Deeeep

Now, I unlike some others agree that we can't expect them to run every single class, sure. But, like others, I was a bit surprised that AE's latest vehicle wasn't as much of a priority for the top drivers to, well, drive.

Anyway, I hope this is a sign of a change coming in the importance of running the vehicle by the top drivers, especially where the track conditions are the ones complained about that the vehicle is at a disadvantage. That's where us mere mortals for one need help from AE. And unlike others, I believe the vehicle CAN be made to be the top in those conditions.

But regardless, I am very happy for AE and I am not surprised either, the car has it in it to win it!
+100 Well said, I do like the truck, and I agree it can be a winner on loose outdoor tracks, I will Finnish my mods this week and post a pic if anyone's interested.

Cheers for that, here in NZ we don't have ANY indoor tracks, our tracks are ALL big outdoors, and very, very bumpy and rutted, that's were the truck is on it's "tippy toes" it's very easy to upset thru these unpredictable conditions.
My E buggy, and other heavy trucks just power thru, I skip, jump, hop and hope,
I'm getting there tho, it's more a fun thing at our track now, I'm the sole SC104x4 there, and I love pointing out to the Losi guys how great the rear of my truck looks, all in fun.
WC before you come on here and say to drive it better, I'm ranked in the top 20 nationally in 2wd and 4wd SC, so I go ok, ok.

I actually found it worked pretty well on an outdoor low traction loamy surface. Front pulled very hard with it on and the rear just followed the front wherever it went.

Having a little is with my truck. im using a bh lt4 esc with a castle 1410 3800kv. The gearing is 12/62. the motor gets hot kinda quick and my battery time seems short. Truck will run great then seem like it goes into lipo cutoff mode but if I keep cruising slowly with it then it randomly will go in and out of full power bursts.....maybe lipo cutoff needs lowered?
