I am sure it is. I cant imagine the body twisting all around would be helpful. helps to keep you body from rubbing on the wheels a little. I dont personally run one and probably wont just yet. I need to work out so many other things first.


Are you guys running 3deg inside and zero deg outside on toe in? I see all the setup sheets are 3/0, but I though many of the non pro drivers used .5 hubs to gain rear traction.

Does anyone have a setup or advices to run my SC10 on a high grip track (astroturf)?

Yes on the shock tower...keep the a block on the truck. What's so confusing about the tires? That track was very loose and didn't have alot of bite. The double dees on the front take the twitchy ness out of the truck.

i run the .5 deg and 3 deg on board also and i have great traction where i can throw my truck around the track pretty hard and not get loose at all man. raced last nite man and my truck was dialed only if i can maximize the truck capabilities i could have got 1st instead of bn the first loser lol good racing tho never the less lol

just looking at the track if i was there i think i may run stiff suspension due to the fact that the traction should b very high and i dont think i see any rutted sections where the truck have to soak up rutts. so i would just throw on a high bite setup on it and tweek from there man but first get the right tires anc compoound and you should b good to go

I have run the Maifield setup on high-bit blue-groove indoor, med/low slick-groove indoor and typical dusty outdoor. It works everywhere with the proper tire and ride height adjustments.

On the 4th hole, yes, big difference. Yes, you can bolt 2 towers together and do it that way. Prob the easiest to do accurately.

Otherwise, use a pair of drafting calipers, compass or just vernier calipers and measure the distance between centers of the holes. Basically, you drill your pilot hole at the very end of the mold-line that is on the shock tower; inline with the existing holes, you'll see where the molding line ends.

I don't think that the C block roll centers are necessary at all, nor have I seen that used on Maifields truck; nor do the JC team guys (Jason/PW) run it

ok, cool deal. I have extra towers and will bolt them , then drill the hole. I am terrible at measuring hole centers.

I figured as much on the setup. cav pretty much used the same setup as maifield did last year at nats. with only a couple changes.

I see people making the 3oz weight and wraping it in foam. looks pretty trick. Any idea what foam they are using?

maybe use a couple of these?

My weight is mounted to the chassis and then I hollow out the sc10 battery foam a little and place that over it

nice. did you use lead or iron weights? i am worried that iron is too large

How many of you guys are drilling vent holes in your body? There have been a few times where my truck gets up and parachutes!!

I use the ae lead weights.

I use the JConcepts hi flow with the majority of the cutouts removed. Helps alot

Do you guys know what size of drill bit to make the 4th hole in the shock tower?

I think I used a 3/32 when I use to do mine.

I have the good tires already: Schumacher mini pin in yellow compound with proline closed cell inserts.

For now I just reduced the antisquat, put the lipo forward, decreased the ride height, and set a lower rebound for the shocks. I could have mounted a sway bar in the rear too but for now I keep it this way. I'll use a 8.5 motor with slight drag brake, it helps on high grip tracks. Any other advice is welcome
