91124- Rear Swaybar Set
91126- Swaybar Hardware
You don't need the swaybar hardware if you get the swaybar sets. That is just extra hardware if you need it.

Thanks!
Looks like it is going to be about $40 to $50 to add the swaybar setup through AE based on those part numbers.
Anyone got a breakdown on off the shelf items to do a swaybar setup for less with minimal customizing of parts (ie- no bending your own wire)?

Those of you with these sc10 4x4s what, if any, changes did you make to make it more stable and able to make more consistant lap times? I think I'll like this 4x4 for the smaller track I'll race at but am worried about the bigger 1/8th scale track it being a little to twitchy.

Screws to mount to arms and sway bar clamps still needed, nothing tricky.
Bend your own bars with pliers. Cut to 6 1/2 inches. Find the center. Make a mark there and an inch each way from there. Bend at the outside marks, about 10-15 degrees shy of 90. Exact same shape as an AE 2wd bar for a B/T4 or sc10, just a hair longer on the "legs." Super easy, maybe $20-25 in parts.

That's my case, here in Brazil there are only 1/8 tracks.
First day on track had 3k on both diffs and 30k on both shocks, with bladder
Original tires..... (my order didn't arrive in time and I was anxious to ride)
Anyway it was hard to get a grip and very hard to control.
Changed the rear diff to 5k front diff 12k, rear shock 30k front 35k... still original tires result: a totally different game I'm pretty close to what I consider a good setup, I can assure you it's a great truck for big tracks as well, took the big jumps very well. I can imagine how it will be when my GridIron arrives.
The only down point is one of my shocks came with the bottom cracked and it's holding with Ca but licks a bit. AE said already on the snailmail.......
I do notice a lot of dirt inside the belt case, and on big jumps the body is a parachute.... i you have a bit of wind uhhhhhrgh. will have to improve on this,
and please some one come up with an UNDERCOVER it is a must.

I have been busy with work and not able to keep up with thread (made it to page 136), so what are people using for springs until associated releases theirs. I definitely need stiffer front to go along with a thicker shock fluid.

so when your brand new calibers fill with sand and stones all is not lost. here is how I handle it.
first clean completely.
cut a clean incision around inside sidewall.
flip tire insideout and remove foam. clean completely again.
reverse process. be sure cut surfaces are clean.
best to use applicater....glue back together with just enough glue to do the job.
I clean up with an old open cell foam. ensure edges line up even when gliding. after ample dry time...pull on joints to ensure they are strong, adding glue if necessary. I check tires after every outing at track and rarely have any issues. the rubber on rubber bond is MUCH stronger than rubber to plastic. hope thishelps somebody.

BTW, the SC10 performs very well on large tracks other than wanting to fly on long triples.
