SC10 4x4 Thread
#1921
I ran in the expert sc class...I have no idea?!? I didn't stick around to look at the race results...it was past midnight and I wanted to get home. I know TQ in my class was a 15 lapper...there's no way anyone went 20 laps in 5 minutes. Josh Newman went 16 laps in 4wd expert buggy and he was the fastest guy there...

This is my problem too...I raced mine for the first time yesterday and I had my servo always wanting to veer to the right or left. I'm wondering if my servo has just gotten old and tired (it was doing steering duty for a kyosho st-rr for a while)? Today I could center the servo & checked it in front of my house...I would go up and down the street a little and come back & it would be off center again! I haven't pulled off the servo arm yet to see if it's the arm...I hope I don't have to buy another servo...I didn't crash enough yesterday to warrant it, but then again it maybe that it's just old and has lost it's centering ability? A few people have posted this same problem...have you guys fixed it? Please let me know...thanks!

It ain't cheap...but well...it's not often ThunderbirdJunkie uses something of somebody else's and wishes he spent twice as much

Just make sure you buy a few extra HPI K4.6 backplate screws

other than that, I noticed my rear wheels like to hop on the ruff areas of the track. I tried ride hight and oil changes. just can't suck up the bumps like my 2wd used to. has anybody tested other springs yet? a softer spring might help but my lhs doesn't have ae ones's in yet. what fits??
The problem is the shocks are sticking because of the crappy orings AE is
trying to run in the shock cartridge, plus some of the cartridges the holes
are to small or not round in shape.
The fix I found was to make sure the holes are round and the right size by
drilling or exacto knife. Then replace the bottom oring with an Ofna 1/8th
shock oring and replace the top oring with an SC10 2wd oring packing both
with RED Mobile 1 synthetic grease.
This makes shocks smooth and free in movement and they don't leak.
Hope this helps you & others"

Again, anybody have feedback?? I have run into problems with my sc10 4wd...Mostly bc of user error, I think for running the truck without the two advised washers that go on the slipper assembly..I probably should have waited to put them on..Did you guys have the extra washers/shims that were recomended on this thread included in there kits??In running it, I think I destroyed my slipper thrust bearing due to the slipper thrust spacer not being machined right as noted b/f.....Well, i ran it without the spacers and needed to keep on tightening the slipper ( that everone says is the symptom of the mismanufactured part) and think i caused the slipper pads to burn out and destroy the slipper thrust bearing..The tranny is not binding as i free rolled it nicely..It also caused my 19t pulley to damage slightly..It's now a paper weight and feel bummed about it
..I should have waited for the washers/spacers/shims/whatever you want to call them..
