I have a set of Proline Power Stroke shocks laying around. Will they be a good match for this sct?

You could also use the old extension cord trick:

I noticed they balloon up too and seem to act like a down stop. Chris from AE said to add bump stop limiters if you take them off to protect the bladder.

I am still learning 1/8 shock technology but it seems you would want to take them off or cut a hole in them to stop ballooning. I don't need other variable messing with my shocks when I am tuning.

I hear ya, I had the same issue on 2 of the 3 MMP's I had. And if something does fail the ESC comes with a 365 day warranty, if it fails they will replace it. They are in the USA also, so no huge wait times on warranty items.

I dont have a pic, but I did use a Dremel with sanding drum to remove just enough to get to the screws needed. I would think it may weaken it just a very small amount, if the chassis breaks there it is an easy part to replace.

I have a question guys, Im making some swaybars, and Im wondering if where the swaybar mounts to the chassi, if it should be tight and held firmly in place so it cant rotateas the supension compreses. Or should it be loose, so as the suspension compresses, the swaybar can pivot?

hey saladfork. i think i have your truck in my house, lol. the viper and the sc10 make it easy to have clean wiring.

Nice and clean!!!! Looks good man!

I ordered my SC10 4x4 Tuesday of last week from A-main. It showed up here Thursday afternoon. I spent the good part of Friday morning putting it together. I didnt have a drill and have always thought guys that use them are wimps..... but halfway through this build I was wishing I had one. The only issue I had was the antenna tube was missing or I couldn't find it at least. I built it with the stock setup provided by the manual. No leaky shocks, no diff oil changes.

I rushed through the build as fast as I could because I wanted to race it at my local tracks first big 2 day race. So I didn't get to pant the body, I just borrowed an old used body from one of my kids Slash.

The stock setup worked very well at our track. I had the clicker engaged and the thing had massive steering. I think I ended up expo-ing out 30% of the steering with the radio just to make it not so twitchy.

I cant compare it to anything else as this is the first 4wd SCT I have ever driven. But I can say this, out of all my current rigs its the one that brings me the biggest smile and the fastest lap times.

Being low on funds right now I borrowed my sons VXL/Vileneon out of his 2wd Slash geared 93/19 and surprisingly it worked very well in the SC10 4x4.... for me at least. Temps after a hard 10 minute run were in the 165 area.

The Savox SC-1258TG servo was plenty for the SC10 4x4. Ran the truck on a Gens Ace 40c 5000mah battery all weekend and had plenty of juice for even the 10 minute mains.

The truck is very tough and I didn't have one issue with it all weekend other then I kept having to re-tighten the drivers side rear outer camber ball stud and nut.

I would eventually like to get a more respectable esc/motor. But for now the VXL/Vileneon is doing just fine. Enough in fact to power me to a 3rd place win in open 4wd SCT at the Motown Showdown we had just last weekend.

Here is my 3rd place run. I held 2nd for most of the race but started to feel the pressure of a faster driver and made some mistakes and lost 2nd to him.

You want it to be able to move around, otherwise the swaybar is only adding spring rate to the truck.

thanks

Sick whip!

How bad is the truck going to drive with the springs that are included in the kit?

ThunderbirdJunkie is seriously considering snagging this simply to be able to have a spring selection in a reasonable timeframe.

love the third person man!

Man this sucks, my SC104x4 is still in the box taunting me...
