Team Associated SC8 Setup and Tips
#331
I had some troubles today while I was driving. After 2 or 3 tanks, my servo saver comes loose. The manual says that the gap were the spring is between, have to at least 8,3mm. But mine alu ring is going allways down and he is scrathing against my lower frame, so that my steering servo can't turn anymore.
It isn't easy to describe, and my English isn't that good.
Here are the photo's:


Has nobody any solution for this?

Do you like 10 10 7?
Looking at most of the RC8 setups most people seem to run 7 5 3, or 5 5 5....seems that SC8 would be similar, I'd think 10 in the center would make it diff out real bad in the rear?
I am going to try 5 5 5 next time and see how I like it.
My truck has been working well enough so I haven't felt like changing anything, but now it is in need of some maintenance I think it's about time to experiment myself.
What are you running for shock oil?
Also on a unrelated note, after 6 gallons my Pro28 ate a rear bearing...but the truck hasn't needed a bit of major work or had any breakage...

no i dont like the 10 10 7 thats why i was asking lol, do you mean rear looping out under power by diff out than yes it does bad, havent touched the shocks. went to 17 tooth bell ( helped) will lighter center diff help?
i havent raced yet just practice less than a gallon of fuel

Well, I'm still to nooby to be messin with shock oil & diff levels. I'm still learning the idle, HSN, LSN, etc. How many of you are running the stock pipe? If not, what do you run, and is there much of a performance gain? I'd like to get a little more speed into this truck if possible.
On a side note - I ran dead straight, WOT, into a tree today and busted both of the lower front bumper mounts. But everything is still intact. This truck really takes a beating, especially in my hands.

did a mod to my rear fenders. cut them and made it so they could fall off if hit hard or i roll a couple times. they turned out sweet, i think. you cant even tell that there cut when there on. ran them the other day at this track and it was still muddy and wet, they did great and when they got covered in mud they started falling off little by little when i would hit the jumps. and when i run it with no fenders it throws up cool ruster tails.

will lighter center diff help?
With a thick center diff you should have a lot of power out the rear which will make it swap ends easier on power....
I am going to set mine up per a good known RC8 setup and see how that works...5 5 5 all the way. I'll post how it works..
