SC10 4x4 Thread
#3226
Has anyone had trouble taking their body from the 2wd SC10 and putting it on the 4x4? I know it is supposed to be a direct fit, but mine is not. Do you have to raise the body mounts from the stock position? Mine hits the bumpers in the front and rear and the holes in the body are slightly off. Any suggestions? THanks

This is great against rubbing inside the body just cut some pieces and fit in the wheelhouses

Yes, on the outdrives you will want to use black grease, not green slime. I know the diffs are prebuilt, but in the manual on page 8, it notes to use black grease.

Sorry chris, I'm not trying to call you out. I just want something done regarding my leaky diffs.
Btw, they're leaking from the diff cups.

I wish this sway bar issue was taken care of before the launch or sale of the truck, along with all the other things like shcks coming apart, parts not machined right, parts missing. And to boot, u cant get hardly anything for the truck, only a handful of things. I would have gladly payed alittle more to have everything taken care of p front. I love the truck so far, i just feel, and again, its my feeling, thats things could have been done different.

For those who have their slippers adjusted and working correctly with a 4.5/550 motor. How tight are you having to run it to get it to not slip? I'm having to lock it down and even put a very thin washer under the slipper nut to get that extra little clamping power. I've got a field of cars with V2 slipper springs so I don't think that's the problem. My truck is working, I just don't like having no adjustment left on the slipper. Other brands of trucks seem to "squirt" from corner to corner on the tight sections and this thing just seems a little lazy. Honestly it's just as fast because it's smoother but it just doesn't have that "snap" to make the quick pass....
med. grip track, geared 13/62, clicker locked, running front overdrive pulley,
HD pad on the rear, stock pad for the front..
~for those who, like me, didn't think this truck turned as good as they wanted, the front overdrive pulley makes a big difference.

new designs always have some issues, the TLR 22 has some and so did the 4wd Durango buggy when it finely came out, and look how long it took to get one of those things..

Hmm I spoke with chris on the phone and didn't seemed too concerned that leaky diffs are a problem on my car....in fact insisted I overfilled the diffs. I've had many cars and never had a problem overfilling. This is the first time I've had trouble keeping any diffs from leaking. In fact, I've had no problem with my rc8be notorious leaky diffs. What I'm getting at, since I'm not the only one with this issue, what will ae do to help me out so I don't have to spend cash on new diff parts? They aren't cheap and you can't buy the o rings separately.

You actually can buy the orings separately, along with the diff gasket. The part number is 9831, from the SC10 2wd kit.
I would recommend taking your diffs apart and put some black grease on the outdrive/oring and see what that does. If you still have problems, email me and I will see what I can do for you.

There is some pretty good movement on my out drives from the diff housing. Very surprised they don't leak. I do use a pretty good amount of black grease on the cup shafts and that also seems to help with the out drive play. I am using 30k in the front diff though. The open bottle fell over on my work bench and did not leak out either.
. This is my first truck with gear diff's; I just fill them like the video shows and I have had no issue's yet.
