so i built some sway bars for the car, since it badly needed em. used ~2.1mm piano wire for the bars. for the links i used AE 1/10 lower shock mounts on the arms and stole the bar joints from my B44 swaybar kits. the chassis mounts for the bar were made from a sheet of ABS, i cut to the right dimensions and slotted for the bar to clamp in.
i highly recommend Chris Jarosz's setup if you run on high traction clay.

It seems to be eveything needed. I hope it works. I will let everyone know what the outcome is.

Going to get my truck today, and really concerned about the availability of the springs. What is everyone else doing?!? How can we race this puppy w no variation I'n spring rates?!?, Ahhhhh.....looks like the ol prolines may make a debut on first race week after all.... If you guys know where I can find the springs, plz let me know.
Also, the concepts wheels do fit? Ok, so does that mean the tense wheels fit too?
good luck to all n your builds.....and keep the great info coming. I will post as I get thru mine today/ tonight.

Has anyone made a new mounting plate for the ESC, RX, and Transponder and not use the stock RX box?
I plan on doing one out of some CF plate I have so I can get the ESC back further and the RX forward more to help with not having to use a servo extension.
This way you just unplug the steering servo and unsolder or remove the motor and ALL the electronics can be removed for cleaning.
You can make flexable cover for the RX out of scrap Lexan from the bodies if you want to protect the RX, but it has not been an issue in the other 4 trucks/buggies so far.

Are you putting 1 silver .030" washer on each transmission case screw? I noticed my rear transmission was tight until I put those washers on. Although it was still a bit tight to begin with after running it for 5 minutes everything freed up and rolled quite smoothly.

It's a captured pin design. That is how AE does it on their 1/8th scale rigs as well as how Tekno does it on their CVD's for the Slash 4wd. Very simple and works really well.

Chris Jarosz is the man, everytime I've had an issue with any of my AE products (not many) he has been more then helpful and responds quickly...... This is another reason why I like AE rc's so much, great customer support and awesome rc's....... My build is almost done I just need to add electronics etc and will post pics once I'm done...... Man this is prob. the first time I don't think I'll need to upgrade to any rpm parts, this kit looks really strong and durable, GREAT JOB AE

Woot! Just got a call that my second sc10 4x4 is in at the LHS. I was getting worried about parts for the big points series opener this weekend, but a second car should cover me. 
btw, anyone else on here going to litchfield for the MORL series can feel free to use said parts car for parts.
