Broken 3 trucks are you hitting mailboxes

Got me to thinking on mine been racing it for about 4 mths usually 2-3 times a week. Have crashed into everything at the tracks at least once , the only thing I've replaced is one bent CVA axle that's it. I can't remember even having an arm pop off. Have replaced several bodies though.
Oh yea the first set of front and rear diffs were replaced, built them myself "right" and haven't had any issues since.

I built mine like Sharks Lite version, with the CDiff which is great.

Mine is way underpowered at the moment running an 8.5 turn LRP, but it forces me to be smooth, my driving has improved a lot in the last month or so.

Just got me a Tekno had it about a week and luv it, but its a different animal, way faster motor combo, don't won't to say easier to drive, but I run faster laptimes with it, but I think the motor combo may have a lot to do with it.

Anyways if you are throwing them in the trash, I'll pay shipping to get them to my house

Oh BTW I'd take one of them RcShox Belt drives setups when you get it sorted out.

so ive had my sc10 for like a mouth now.(i got it used) But the rear transmission needs to be rebuilt. so i was thinking i should probably do the front too. So my question is should i order and replace the gear box, should i replace the gears inside. should i get the mip ball diff? Shim? What oil should i use? Are there other things i should replace? Sense it looks like im gonna have to take most the car apart. Any tips to avoid taking the whole damn car apart?
i dont really plan on doing this again for as long as i can get away with it. I mostly run on a carpet track, and sometimes a indoor clay track. And well the weather is getting nice so maybe a outdoor track, if one pops up.

I have also found the SC10 4x4 to be pretty durable, I have bent a Front/Rear CVA and stripped a rear diff (older version without the newer shims). Got my first SC10 4x4 in 2011, got another in 2012 and picked up a roller late last year. In 2011 I ran the entire year on a larger outdoor track, then in 2012 I moved to indoor clay. After a few upgrades it is a great racer.

And if you run a SC10 4x4 Ultra lite there is less wear and tear because it is a lot lighter. Less mass when you run into things.

I'm the only one running an sc104x4 at my track and have yet to break. Once I figured out the correct belt tension I was good to go.

Here is something different, I'm running my FT on an asphalt oval with no jumps in what's called an Intermediate Class that doesn't have many restrictions. I'm fighting guys running Blitz's and Traxxas with 8th scale wheels/tires and 3 cell batteries and none of them are SC10's. I have mine handing as well as possible on Street Fighter tires/wheels. Using a Center Diff, M2C toe system, left hand battery and really restricted shock travel along with Castle 3800 and MMP. Many times I keep up with them just through finesse. It's hard for them to handle 3 cell power. Going to 8th scale wheels/tires next week which should help even more in the corners. I'm not sure this truck can handle 3 cell power.

If you ever do decide to go 3 cell, this will slide right in

What size batteries is everyone using. I bought my truck used and it came with two Gensace saddle packs 25c 4800mah and during my 7 min main i ran out of juice. It was at the sixth minute power started to drastically drop. It's running a Tekin 5.5 and a mamba max pro sct esc. Perhaps the batteries are dying?? They gave unknown runs through them and seem slightly weathered.

I ran mine with a Tekin RX8/4600 Pro4 combo, CL at 50. Had no trouble making a ten minute race with practice laps with a Nano Tech 5100 saddle. My friend, same setup, except CL at 100, made ten minutes as well.

I'm running 6800 Mah 70c SMC batteries. They are still less then 10 cycles but I'm getting through 7-8 min mains and only getting down to around 3.8 volts. I haven't run one until the low voltage shutoff engaged.

Batteries may be shot then. Time to buy a battery tester!!!

Thanks. I'm using a 7200 60C Aeromodel right now that seems to provide plenty of power, (Aeromodel is the outfit that makes Hacker stuff). The guys with the 3 cells have to brake to get into the corners because they develop so much straight away speed and that's where I catch up with them so if I can get through the corners better I think I can give them a run for their money.

We shall see.

doing a shock rebuild, running on a carpet track with jumps flat turns.
and suggestions on oil weight?

what pistons? A setup sheet may help too.

i havent opened them up yet. so i dont know what pistons are in them. Truck is used, and pretty dialed. but in dire need of maintenance
so im pretty open to suggestions.
Dont think im gonna rebuild them till next week.
gonna race Friday, and my set up seems to be working great, although some fresh shocks would probably help me out
