SC10 4x4 Thread

Good, glad you got it figured out. I was pretty sure it was the servo. All you need is a good metal servo. I have the ace 1313, 1015, Spektrum s6040, Jr9100s and Orion Vds-1007. I love everyone and have never had an issue with any of them. If I chose a favorite, I would say it is the Orion.

Hmmm, after I put mine back together, (before I realized I was missing that bottom cap) I lost all the shock oil and had to run the main with spring only. Anyhow, nobody has the parts yet, any suggestions for other shocks? I think I saw someone mention some Losi 1/8th scale shocks, but can't find that post. Looking for something comparable or better since I can't get parts for the stock ones.

I'm in the middle of trial fitting the losi 8ight shocks on mine. The fronts are the same lengths but need spaced out about 1-2mm on the tower, other than that they fit fine. The losi rear will longer than stock so I'll limit them a bit. Losi silver springs front and rear, from what I remember, should be the same as the AE blue's (4.3F, 2.8R) that come with the kit.

The cheapest is the ace 1313. And the most exspensive is the Jr 9100s. Just look at Amain or other big site and look at the servos. Get one that is metal gear and in you price range. The servos I use vary alot in price. I like to test servos and see which one I like the most. I use the Spektrum s6040 in my sc10. For me it's a great match with this truck.

So true lol...
And TW your truck looks good, you are going to get flamed by the hard cores for adding 1/8th scale shocks. But honestly I think it's a prolly the only upgrade this truck need. The stock shocks suck IMO. I thought about doing the same since I have a set laying around.

I think the servo saver is extremely tight and maybe not working for me rather against me...Can I lossen up the servo savor from where it stands??

the thicker the diff fluid in the front the less the 'posi' effect?
I have a tube of 10k that I found in my box.
gonna go pick up 3k for the rear at my lhs.
i should have mine together later today. (god willing)
there's a race tonight but i'm not sure if I'd want to run it yet, need to get it dialed and really wanna get swaybars.

the losi shocks will bolt right up i had to put some limiters inside the rear because they were a little longer than the stock shocks. the fronts were really close to the same length. the only issue is the losi aluminum caps are narrow on the top so the shock can move front to back a little too much. i ran my truck last weekend with them and i loved it. this was the first upgrade i did to my jammin before the sc10 came and i loved it so much i kept the shocks off the jammin when i sold it im glad i did. in the past the blue anodizing on the sc10 shocks would wear off and muck up the oil and make the shafts seem loose in the bodys. i love the losi shocks even though im not a losi fan. you can bolt them right up and be running in 10 minutes no hardware changes

All you have to do is line up the servo saver post with the servo saver bottom(the indent for the bottom nut end). bring it out to the garage , put the bottom post end to the concrete, and push dowm hard on the servo saver bottom, or top if that is on. Once the post is all the way inserted into the bottom piece, its a piece of cake.
