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.
Why glue & loose a good tuning option ?


tighten down the lock nut flush or till it bottoms out , all you need to to do for lock up...

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....

Thanks. These conditions if I recall are they loose / slick with big jumps.

i have never run there ..
Camerons home track sort of though , said grip was good ....


Was surprise how good the truck was in fact and did not understand all the bad said about .

That was his second race with , first was our regional & he won that one .
Had diff issue at Daves , other wise could of won ....

You may have it hard believing me on this ..

The Sc10 4x4 handling actually shines on loose or low traction conditions .
As the traction goes way up ?
What bad the truck has becomes even more pronounce & noticeable..


pic is the track & layout they ran on

Agreed. It seems to be much more planted in the corner's. I have tried a durango and the back end seems very unsettled when its loose. Not tried a Losi before so can't say one way or another on that.

team kit is leaps and bounds ahead of the stock. with stock you end up upgrading to the factory team spects anyway which costs more. the first page of this thread has information for you. all you need is a good setup sheet off rc10.com (cody, bk, new mayfield) and some correct tires for your track and your pretty set. this truck is built super tough.
get it

New to dirt, you come from onroad? If so, your going to need those onroad tuning skills for this truck.

One isn't better than the other IMO, they both get the job done differently.
Check out the losi SCTE also. It's not perfect, neither is the associated but it's easier to get setup and going fast out of the box than the associated.

The associated drives more like a sedan on dirt than the losi so maybe that's a good thing for you.
The losi drives more like a 1/8 buggy, stable but with less turn in than the associated.

Generally the losi is better suited to outdoor tracks and the associated is better suited to indoor tracks. Where will you be racing?

Like Ryan said, if you decide AE, get the team factory team kit for sure.

I guess it's subjective as to whether or not thats a good tuning option. I and a majority of the others don't use the option.
But like you said... nuf said

Unforftunately the truck had the futaba horn and one ball stud for the steering link missing so i had to rig up something to make it work for the moment.
A bit of trial and error to make it work right
Used the steering link and servo horn off my mtx4 onroad which seems to be good so far

You can add me to the list of people who have glued the clicker with no problems whatsoever.

+1 well said, I would go to the track you will be racing at, ask around, maybe get to drive somebody's truck, one thing I would look for, if there are 10 Losi SCTE there and only one guy running the SC104X4, ask why, chances are most have dumped the SC10 in favor of the Losi. It's a big investment to rush into and get wrong.
