Wait, didn't I tell you how to achieve that? I think it was by sanding the diff rings...

Yes you tried ... Your of the good ones ...


Still , When I just purchase a Sc-10 diff outdrive kit and had big issues...
Had on my own to take it apart spend a extra hour figuring out which part was the problem ...

No instructions about sanding ...

A beginner would not of been able to do as I did

Bet that beginner still would be very upset and frustrated ...

It would just be nice to get a better answer than this... Would having 'sticky' o-rings make a difference in performance?

A beginner probably wouldn't even have noticed, so therefore he wouldn't be frustrated and he would be happy with what he got.

I've had outdrive's that weren't as they should be.

Parts quality can be better, has been better and should become better again.

my 2 cents right there.

I love how cherry thinks AE is always in the wrong and he's in the right. Bad diff rings, sloppy plastic, Sticky o rings. Whats next cherry?

No comments about you , sorry ...

I believe Ae tries to be the best , just that suppliers change and materials ect ..


The other day ...
I saw a guy tear off somebodies old xxx for sale just for the vintage shock O-rings on it .




That's so low .....

Actually believe SC 10 outdrives are dailed !
big improvement* compared to the old B-4 outdrives....

*Rings have better grip

You have a fetish for o rings, I think I know why your o rings are sticky.

My first set of outdrives went to crud pretty quick as well as the slots in the new CV's. Hardened both of them and purchased some rubber CV boots from Turner so I can keep grease in and dirt out and they have lasted 5 times longer that the regular stuff so far.

with the shock the ideal would be to have the dampening only affected by the fluid in the body itself, but o-rings are needed to keep the fluid from leaking out or dirt getting in. So the least amount of resistance from the o-ring while still keeping a nice seal is best as the fluid in the shock plays the biggest role not the shaft fighting against the o-ring is what george is trying to get across i believe

Thanks for sending me out some wheel nuts Chris!

Chris I just got a SC10 4x4, but the box was empty, can you send me a whole truck mine is missing.... gotta try

Haha nice one

So the extra resistance from the sticky o-rings would make the shock a little more inconsistent? My o-rings were perfect when I put them in, just for curiosity's sake really..

Got my truck out to the track today.. Few rod-ends popped off and will need their week selves to be replaced, and then the wing broke -.- ... But I don't feel like using my 'good' body so I'll go wingless for a bit till I give in.. Pretty good night, very consistent, only real problem was I was a little loose on the rear tires and I'm going to need a little bit heavier shock fluid.. Truck was running very smooth!

Actually the new guy would probably wonder why his car performs like crap and not know that its because the diff doesnt work right/wears out prematurely (yes I too had a "bad" SC10 diff kit)... Its possible that he then gets frustrated and either

A. Shelfs it and does not "get into" RC racing or...

B. Switches brands
