5LikesSC10 4x4 Thread
09-05-2012 | 08:50 PM
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?

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.

I'm thinking of picking one of these up. What esc/motor combo do you guys recommend? I haven't owned an electric car in years.Just need something good for racing and possibly backyard tracks. Any info would help. Thx.

Tekin RX8 and Tekin 4600kv is the most reliable in my opinion!

No knock on Tekin RX8 though, pretty much the standard just a bit more work to fit.
For motor, using the Tekin Pro 4 4000Kv motor. Depending on your track you may want the higher Kv one, but personally I think this is a good all around motor.
WC has said the Reedy Sonic 550s are good, probably a 4.5 would work well from them.

My truck has been making a lot of clicking noises. I notice a clicking noise when I get on the gas hard out of a corner, and also when going into a corner hard on the brakes. I think coming out of the corners it sounds like the diff, needing to be shimmed. And going into the corner it sounds like the clicker or the belt slipping. Could this be correct? And what could I do to fix these problems? I think my clicker nut is completely tightened down. And I just put a brand new belt on it. It got better but still made the noise.

get diff shim kit from AE. just call or email and they should send you one out for free.
Then, do your diff rebuild. I am not sure but you may need new diff gears, so I would order that too and put them in.
From there, if you still have clicking then look at your clicker.

For me I am using the Speed Passion GT2.0 Pro ESC as its small and does not need a BEC. Lots of bells and wistles too. Can be found pretty cheap as well. I believe the Brushless Hobbies ESC can work too, you will want to ask around about it but it.

honestly I would get the hobbywing 4000/4600 kv 4 pole with a speed passions, bh120 or dualsky esc.

yeah. 4 pole 4700kv is the biggest $82. the website says a limited time sale of 32% off.
