If you want to run stock roll center you will need 3mm of shims on the inner ball studs. It tells you with the instructions but I didn't have any shims and needed to order some. I just installed the outer ballstuds in the middle. Seems to work well. If you want to run the 8mm mod... read posts 365 to 367.

Default Gearing

I plan on running 32 pitch gears with the truck for durability.
If I go with a medium speed copperhead how would I gear it?
Also are the RPM upgrades any good?

Almost $100 for a set of Acer bearings. Do they sell them separately? Do anyone have promo codes for towerhobbies?

You must mean for a complete set of ceramic bearings? You can get a complete set of steel (or carbide?) bearings for the SC10 4x4 from Avid for $26. It's a mix of steel, rubber, and revolution (one side steel one side rubber) sides.

Avid also sells bearings individually, so you can customize your set (e.g. regular bearings for light duty steering rack and ceramic for tranny and/or drive shafts). I'm on a bit of a budget so I've only ever used the $1/piece regular bearings.

I don't have Tower Promo Codes, but if you search thread titles, I'm almost certain you can find a thread with them. I think you need to be registered or a member with Tower to take advantage (not sure, never shopped with Tower). Good Luck.

Cain: unfortunately I thing I will need a new front top shaft, I tried to fix it but after a little while the gear just get free again.
yeah, that sucks when that happened, maybe they had a bad batch get out there or something.

As mentioned, a Speed Passion GT2.0 Pro works well, Reventon Pro works well too. HOWEVER, it will not work with 4 pole motors according to SP (The Reventon). Buddy of mine has it on his SC10 4x4 with that same motor, runs very cool, like 95 degrees on the ESC.

Hope all has been going well with everyone and their sc10 4x4s.

Finally hit my first race today. Learning experience. Haha. 23 drivers I think. Finished 6 in b main so not last. I am good with that. It is tough. Did make a main in 2 wheel drive with 22 drivers. 7th. So work to do on the 4 wheel. Lots to learn about setup but I have found that its easier to learn at the track. Thanks to all of you who helped me get setup for my first race when I had no clue what to do at all.
