I have one hill left to conquer on the SC10 4x4. I run a stick pack, RX8, Pro4 4600, RCshox CD, RCShox dual stage pistons, added 2.5 oz in front, exotec chassis, 8mm mod...etc, etc. The truck is way better than it was. Trouble is, I put the body on and it doesn't drive well at all. I have a Pro-line Flo-tek body with Upgrade skins. It is heavy, thus making it handle way less. I have a brand new Flo-tek body I am just going to paint. Hopefully that makes a huge difference.

Anyone else run any of the other after market bodies? And if so, which one and how do you like it?

just got one of these and wondering what would be a good base pinion to start at with the 32 pitch spurs, im running a revtech 4800kv.

Hi guys, an update and thoughts after driving the Losi for the first time. The truck I bought of a club member in parts, many, many parts, lol, it has most if not all of the after market bits on it, and is lighter than my SC10. I did have a drive of it a few meetings ago before it was for sale, and hated it, fat pig like many have said, but if your like me, picking up somebody's radio set up for them I never like driving there car, just "feels" all wrong. I have raced my SC10 for over a year, and as some of you know have done many mods to it, it drives great, but you need to drive it like a touring car, and the way I drive I have found that hard on our bumpy track, I have always felt the slipper setup was an issue with the truck, but only after other guys in my club went to center diffed trucks. So after spending three days piecing the Losi back together using what diff oils etc I like in my 8ight, I thru this thing on the ground, the first thing I noted was turning, it turns great, anybody that says you can't set these things up to turn has no idea what there doing, surprised me a great deal, and while making very tight turns the rest of the truck does what it should, very planted. The power to the wheels is fantastic, as it should be. You have all heard they fly better etc so not going there, but it's very true. I think driving the SC10 has made me a better driver and I am in no way bashing on that truck, I stuck with it longer than most, but the "other" truck I'm sure will take me back to the winners circle with half the effort. This is just my thoughts for anybody that cares, not intended to be this v that.

RossNZ: it is what it is. People can bad mouth you about what you feel, etc. But all that matters is what you experience with the vehicle. Some vehicles work better for than others for a lot of people's driving skills.

Glad you found a vehicle you like to run Ross, enjoy

13t
Maybe 12t indoor.

This is why I won't drive guy's losi's. =P I'd be pissed because I'm pretty sure i'm more of a SCTE driver too. But I've put too much time into this, online, and offline and on and off the dirt to toss out 1,500.00 for a new project. Just can't do it. =P

That being said, I really do like my SC10 4x4, but like he says, i'm sure i'm podium with another truck. ( I went backwards switching from a Slash 4x4 to a Sc10 4x4 )

Is the Reedy 550-SL Brushless Motor with the SC1200-BL Brushless ESC known to get real hot? Im running a 14t pinion. Also the steering is fast. Is there a way to slow down the steering from the transmitter? I'm using the same servo in another sc10 4x4 and its much slower and easier to drive. The other sc10 that I'm having trouble with is all over the track with just a little turn on the steering wheel. I'm using the RTR transmitter(AE XP3-SS). Is there something on that transmitter I could adjust to slow down the steering?

My other sc10 4x4 is running the MMP, 1410 and 14t pinion. Within the same amount of running time the 1410 will get warm, but the 550-SL will get blazing hot.

you can use the steering D/R to slow it down. The rtr motor is not all that great. most of the rtr motors I see run hot.

Sorry to say coconut, but that's where a bit more costly / fancy tx comes in..
Sounds like you need some expo adjustments / curve / speed / incremental movement values in certain ranges, etc.... The list goes on.. After a calibration of course.. I love my kopropo.
There are a few threads to lookup that cover servo speed related to input voltage and managing that with specific capacitor outputs through rx...

Enjoy your rigs.. hope that helps a bit...

lol, just use the dual rate. I used it on my kids ratio to slow it down, it is fine. no need to buy a new radio.

8mm mod. - If you just add a spacer or washers under the 12mm stud, it doesn't work to well, there is way to much flex. Make a little bracket for the shock tower to place the ballstud so it does not flex.

ditto

I need to play with my dual rate, anyone have an air
tronics m11x that can give me some base steering settings?

BEFORE you make any changes to your radio, write down your current settings.
What I've done in the past, drive 5 minutes, make a steering change (you can use methodthis for making any change), drive another 5 minutes and so on. The KEY is to take notes on what changes you made and track your lap times, hopefully your local track has the loop active during practice. The lap times are a big part of finding out what works, the car can feel "off" but your lap times can be faster. Don't be afraid to make changes, if you write down you current settings, you can't go wrong.
