Hey I have what would essentially be an 'SC10.2' that I will be looking to sell.
If anyone is interested, it's a completely fresh rebuild, new BB shocks (still aren't even built), Avid rack, hex conversion, VTS, JConcepts rear body brace. It has the plastic hubs though. I figured the plastic was a better way to go since I was running the A tower anyway (4.00 to replace a part that wears just as frequently as the 30.00 part is just smart LOL)
I didn't make up a for sale post or anything yet. I'm just not using this truck and would rather it not sit on the shelf anymore. And before the trade offers come in, I'm only looking for a loaded TLR22 or an RB6. If you have either then we can work out the differences. PM me
I'm not in any rush, but figured would throw this out there in case someone wanted a fresh truck that already has all the options.

I want to know...are the AE SC10B (Short Course Buggy) front A-arm and shock tower are the new "OPTION" for the SC10 if more steering is what I am looking after? I heard that is the new thing to bling the SC10. But I might be talking stupid....just want to see does anyone did that? Because I see they are out of stock everywhere online.

A lot of people are doing them on the T4 and therefore trying it on the SC10. I have the tower in hand but am still waiting on the arms currently. It is suppose to give more steering as well as lower the CG up front along with standing up the shocks a bit

I worked on my kids truck this weekend. It still steers tooo much. Or I should say the rear it too loose. Last week it was fine running on worn out tires. I put on tires with tread and it was crap. and I left my worn out barcodes at home.... sigh. I cant ever tune the sc10 to make much of a difference. I have tried everything. long links, short link, more washers , less washers, weight in the rear battery forward, middle, back, ride height changes, body mount changes and many more. I have concluded that this truck is best tuned with tires. We all know that tuning is 90% tires, but i feel the sc10 is 99% tires, lol. I am going to go broke trying to get the right tires on my kids truck. God I hate short course. I very much want her to practice with my buggy and get better, lol. The problem is the trucks will punt her off the track with a buggy. The ladies and novice classes are run what you brung. Several guys/gals have tried buggies and although they like them, racing with sc tracks is crap.

Anyways, I say get your daughter into the buggy...The kids seem to be able to drive them better than the trucks. I've seen that in a few other kids at the local track that have kind of "taken after" what my son and I have been doing....and it works!
