Just tested the sc 4x4 out on the street after finally setting up the speedy and getting it up and ready for a shake down.
One thing i did notice though is that under hard acceleration off the mark the fully tightened clicker would click some.
Is there any way to get it fully locked without this happening?
Do i need to add a shim or 2 or get a harder spring or something like that?

About 500 page's ago people were super gluing them up, I've never had any issues with mine, just locked in down tight.

I will say picking the truck up from the center of the shock towers, it certainly feels "different" with the lower weight.

Just checked mine and i could tighten it another 1/4 turn
I'll try that and see how it works.
Mustnt have tightened it up all the way i could
Just thinking though, as its under acceleration, it might be the belt slipping a little.
As i understand it the clicker only clicks under breaking.
Im running the 19t up front so might have the belt set a little loose

thats why you set your servo horn before installing it.. and its not a pain either to get to it.. took me about 30mins to fix a servo saver..

Because you will just ruin the
clicker and never be able to use it again ...

I've heard of a few people that have glued it without an issue.
I never had problems with it so I have not needed to test it, but if your using good CA glue I don't se how the part would be ruined other than you loose the clicker capability.

It might not be the clicker or belt our hearing...
Might be the diffs slipping... Sounds very similar.
If its under hard acceleration I can almost guarantee it's diffs

Diffs slipping is a metallic grinding noise. - always under acceleration and very cringe inducing if you're paying attention.

Belt skipping is a dull noise. - Belt is mega floppy, I run mine floppy and it never skips more than a tooth.

Clicker clicking is an obvious ziptie noise. - This is almost 'never' under acceleration. If so, something is way wrong.

In my case (and a majority of other owners) gluing it would not "ruin" it, I would just lose a function that I/we don't use anyway.
