I got back into these while i was waiting for my car parts to show up . I need things to take up my free time when im not build my pro touring cars. This is what i have so far.Dominus (cause it was soooo cheap) its really a fun little truck. Merv with some custom mods(my least favorite) .Blitz . Mini8 . SC10 4x4 with the 1/8 stuff, SC10 4x4 race prepared and my RC10 gold pan A stamp with is a shelf queen. My SC10 4x4s are by far my favorite and most reliable. Thinking bout adding 1/5 scale to my garage. This hobby is still much cheaper than the turbos I just bought!

Thats the way the truck is, put sone blue lock tight on the screws and leave them kinda loose.

This is a video of my SC10 4x4 bashing original kit truck. Running Jconcepts choppers on Hazard wheels, jconcepts over tray, Castle 1410 3800kv on MMP, 3s 3400 amainhobbies ecopower lipo. Nothing special, was my track truck a couple weeks ago. The wheelies are hilarious at 40+ mph, it was pretty windy out there. If you like my videos subscribe. ...

Take everything off the right side of the motor plate. When you screw in from the left side ,watch the threads on the right When the threads are level with the motor plate then stop. That's it is should spin freely and it tight where it should be.

There's several guys here running the techno. I said why is hardcore AE guys
running the techno for when you should be running the AE. I was just
surprized I mean I wasnt expecting 9 techos to show up yesterday.
I asked them how much the techno costs,
and it's $400+ way above my price range. Im sticking
with the SC10 4wd. Im going the cheaper route, $250 truck and $170 Copperhead brushless system. Ive tied $1000 into an rc car before
and I dont feel I need to do that again.

Is anyone using the Viper Copperhead system in the SC10 4X4, a buddy of mine is on a limited budget and was asking me about it.

Me and many others have had similar experiences and I can attest to a common response in that once you get a pack or two run thru it, it will break in and spin much more freely. When I first built mine, I could just barely spin the diff in my hand, after some breakin period, it loosens up quite a bit

i just got my 4x4 where is the link to that 170 copper head system that will work with this guy. also what noovak system too. i got a used truck coiming in so i hope it good to go might have to get a bearing kit. this is just a roller kinda tired of the wife getting stuck with the 4x4 all the time she just cant keep up with them no matter how good she drives. this is for a medium track and a large track.

Many racers fill the cases all the way , this is bad
and only makes for a tight diff .

Only fill 3/4 so the oil can expand and not be forced out of the cases and inside the gear box...

ok and to mee it sounds like the motor is over working its self like if i were to test drive it hit the gass then let off it wouldnt roll and i ideas could i have the pinon gear to tight its now alot louder than my first time but that i think is beacuse i build my difs the right way the last time i used to much black grease causing then to be tight and stick but im still scared to go run it what would you do ?
