Just put in the vtx8 with a 2650 t8 (replaced my MM & 2650) in and WoW that ESC is baddddd assssssss .... I may even jump down to my old sc4x 4.5 and see what it does with all the tuning I can do now! Looks like my old MM system is going in my RC10 :-)

Raced the 4x4 today, it ran good, if I could only drive better!

Anyway - I had some good laps, in the second heat I started out bad (actually really bad) the guy who got TQ was lapping me after about 5 laps. But I then followed right behind him for the rest of the race. He was running either Losi or Techno (not sure) but I pretty much stuck right on his bumper. This is a large 1/8 outdoor track that has gotten pretty bumpy and didn't have great traction. So for the haters, the truck can hang with the other brands even on the big tracks.

That being said the guy who won the main (TQ broke) was driving a brand new Techno (put it together last night), did zero tuning and hadn't ever raced on our track, he also hasn't raced much short course. So, I would say that right now the Techno has to be at the top of the pack as an out-of-the-box racer.

If I didn't love my Associated I would take a real long look at the Techno.

Any by the way, I made about 1/8 lap for the main - wrecked and speedo came loose. I had to do a last minute switch, as in pull speedo from another car and install in truck with 3 minutes until my race. Didn't get the tape down good.

Thank you for the Tip!!

I got to race the PINK tonight , been more then a month last ..

Good time .....

The Sc10 4x4 is really good !

You don't need a new ride , just a tune up ...



the set-up has become even more refined , drives better then ever ..

Ck John W's set-up posted on www.rc10.com..
I suggest to try 6 mm instead 4mm under the rear stud ...


rest of the set-up do ...


Very balance , consistent, carry's great corner speed...

cool car

Cherry, so your running 6mm at the hub only and zero on the tower? Ive been running 4mm inside and out side at four seasons and I can drift the sweeper perfect. I am running +3mm hazard wheels with jconcepts pressure points. I just switched to blue springs all the way around because I have lightened my truck to the extreme and yellow springs all the way around it seems to springy. No added weights.

I just installed the M2C toe block with low roll center and 3.5 deg toe. I'll be there at noon tomorrow for a couple batteries and some testing. So many changes I hope it works good. Also bought some m3 ion's but I'm holding off on testing those.

This is sc10 4x4 currently if you happen to see it, hit me up.

How you got the front bumper to stick out in front of that Proline Flotek body? I have one of those bodies and the bumper was slightly under the body which created no protection for the body. If I tried to move the body back the wheel wells and wheels/tires looked out of align.

Your ride is look-n DIALED !

BTW Tomorrow we are building the new layout at Trcr ...

I usually use 7mm of spacers under the rear chassis stud ..
If you use less ?
Side bite will increase..

I tried 4mm yesterday , the truck would roll over with out warning very easily .

Trying fewer spacers amaze me just how much the 8mm camber helps control traction rolls ...

You should not need extra rear toe at Trcr , will be better with 3 degree..

Out door on dusty tracks with less then good traction try 3.5.

Remember, extra rear toe brings grip, but...
The bumps will grow in size when you use , truck will feel bumpier .

Im not sure how I got the bumper to stick out but it does on all 4 of my flowtek bodies. I just drilled for sc10 like the instructions say to do and it worked out like that.

I'm going to Four Seasons for testing at noon. Thanks for the info cherry.

Bumper stick out On this one too.

Won't be at 4S for another week or so ...
We have a Shoot Out next Saturday at BRCR, good times ....

Let me know then when you go 4S so we can test each other's rides ...

The bumper assembley is made of the same plastic as the a arms, and bends after a while rather than breaks.

Change the bumper!

I have a feeling he might have drilled the wrong body holes. The Flowtek is a universal body so it could be real easy to drill in the wrong spot and may require wheel well trimming to look centered to the tire. I run the +3mm hazard wheels so I trim the wells way back to save the tires.

I had my truck right next to one out of the box. My front bumper was like 1/2 further back from his.
