finally ordering some shorty packs this week to try them out. What's the recommended foam blocks to run in SC10 4x4 FT saddle pack? Want to make sure I order them when I purchase the battery so item # or amain link would be amazing. Notice AVID makes a battery foam set for shorty packs now to but $6 kinda rape http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...ttery-Foam-Set

Ok, I run on a very small track. It is cement very high traction and small. has small wooden jumps. fast guys do 9.8 to 10.5 sec laps. thanks for any help u can give. forgot to say it is indoors.

Try the losi foam block #LOSA 4015
Its used on the XX and XXT

That foam is thicker & fills the side of the tray just right for shorty packs..

Whats the name of the track ?
I can look it up to get a better idea what your track conditions are like .

or ?

Post us some images ...

Also include your present set-up & tires you are using please ...

track is called competion Rc in OKC, OK. the tire everyone uses is the associated sc rtr tire. I am runing the FT box setup

sgtlt

believe it or not have raced on seal coated concrete before ...

But with a 1/10th sedan ..


Never with 1/10 off road or Sc truck ..
You should be able to teach me a few things about hopefully ..


Post your set-up , it reads like book in
revealing how your track conditions are .


Is it the set-up listed in the instructions ?

Seen you mention the losi foam blocks when searching thread for info, thanks for clarifying part number because gonna order the same reedy packs

perfect fit

zoom in on the image & ck out the slammed servo mod

Not sure if you are looking for advice from others but if so here are a few general ideas. Run some limiters inside your shocks, when racing pavement I found 5mm front and 6mm rear to be good. Blue springs front and rear if you have them. Sub-20mm ride height if you can get away with it on your jumps. If you have sway bars run the thickest and up your shock oil to 35-40. For shock mounting holes I found outside hole all the way around to be best. Pro line street fighters are GREAT as Tony would say and get some wheels w/3mm offset for them. Key with this setup is corner speed. It will not be the best jumper out there but you will be able to rail the corners and accelerate hard out of them. BIG gotcha will be traction rolling and diffing out. For the traction roll issues bring up your inner ball stud 4mm front and rear to start. Add more as necessary. You will need some longer ball studs to make this work without bending them every crash. For the diffing issues run heavier diff oil. For dirt I run 5k front and rear but on pavement I found 50k to be a minimum with a Pro4 4600. Depending upon your motor you may be able to get away with a lighter oil. Another item that helped me with cornering was lengthening the camber links by using the inner chassis holes and outer hub holes. Also plan on running -2 degrees camber depending upon your corner speed. Finally the slipper. If you are running stock the HD pads may last you a while but I found that they would glaze in the space of a few runs leading to huge losses in acceleration. Also I was never able to remove the slip completely which for me (on pavement) is a must. Ultimately for me the garodisks worked best as they would allow me to take all slip out of the system and use my finger for fine throttle control. Oh and run the 3-3 rear block as the increase in anti-squat helps on acceleration out of the corner. Just watch your throttle usage on the jumps as it will stiffen the rear up.

I know there is more that I am forgetting but it is late so I have my excuse

Good luck!

good advise. I remember a place in NC that has similar surface conditions. was interesting to see how hard the surface was on suspension components at the time.

No joke there. Bent inner hinge pins and actually split the outside housing of a wheel bearing racing on pavement

Great thread, and a big thanks to Cain for his pms to help me get started on the right foot. Cheers matey

glad to help!

keep us posted on things go for you, what you find out, etc.

More information the better!

I went the opposite direction, instead of going ultra light I went to the heavy side. I put the Exotek LCG chassis on my truck and it made a huge difference, my truck is like it's glued to the track.

Its interesting to see how different setups work, basically heavies versus lite setups.

Shows the vehicle has loads of potential in it.
