It happens.

Grab any kind of 3M/Scotch brand adhesive tape and stick it back in

Clean both surfaces with denatured alcohol or motor cleaner if you are at the track before you stick the tape to it. And +1 on the 3M tape. The outdoor stuff (grey in color with a red release layer) works awesome.

I also clean both surfaces well, but then I heat up the tape for a few seconds with a lighter seems to hold a little better.

Getting my boys sct ready for motorama and a friend gave me a deal on some +3 offset wheels and tires. They measured 12inch with the Jconcept hex I have on the rear. I was thinkin of putting thinner hexes on the rear so its in the 11.65 roar rule. are the factory team rear hex different then the Jconcept hex?

Hi All! My friends and I are working on creating a new type of shock tower for the SC10!

Characteristics of the Design:
- Mounts to stock plastic chassis with an option to mount to future aluminum chassis design
- Wishbone attachment points at upper shock for greater strength, and kinetic energy isn't lost
- Attachment points for rear bumper assembly
- Carbon Fiber Rods to keep the chassis stiff in all the right places
- Aluminum Shock Tower is 24 grams compared to the stock Shock Tower at 21 grams

Any feed back on the design would be appreciated!

Thanks! The CF Rods will help stiffen up the stock chassis so that the stock SC10 becomes an even better racing machine

I like It I think that could be cool for the right price of course. But I would put a 4th hole on the front and rear towers, that's a cool tune a lot of guys use that.

Just make front and rear towers with the consecutively positioned 4th hole. The SC10.2 front tower is different and many use the 4th hole with it as well

Make sure the cf support rods useage is optional.

As long as the towers are a tough plastic-type material, they'll sell pretty well.
