SC10 4x4 Thread
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?

Yeh but I'm sure plenty have done it to this truck before me, my thinking is if the Exotek works and lowers the COG, as well as adding weight, if the weight is under the plastic chassis it has to be that much better, there was a guy way back in the thread who made a steel plate under the front chassis and said it worked great, remember guys I only run on loose bumpy outdoor tracks, getting it back together soon, I may leave the MIP shock kit till later, done enough changes this week and will not get much track time before racing this week.
I will say picking the truck up from the center of the shock towers, it certainly feels "different" with the lower weight.

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

Avoid gluing the part , its not necessary.....
We put in a brand new layout today @ TRCR .
Means my PINK Jc HI FLOW ?
Will be
bringing terror on the track soon !!!
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.

Got to talk to Bridgewater bout the outdoor set-up , said he used Kody's JConcepts Nats set-up .
Cept...
30K in ft diff and he is using a rear after market hub he found on E-Bay , not sure of the name or brand .
The hub has the stud raised about 4mm though....

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.

I used the clicker once just to see if I liked it and I didn't. The truck has plenty of entrance steering so I did not feel a need.
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.
