I was wrong about the HT pads with the kit. Sorry, I had the idea that the white pads were the normal ones and the ht pads were yellow. My mistake. But I still don't have a slipper issue so that makes my case more that it an user issue for the slippage. So many variables, don't want to make Assumptions though.

Hello,
I did a search for this a couple different ways (I promise!) but I didn’t see the answer to my question. I apologize if it is in this thread as, I didn’t see it and only read about 25 of the 200+ pages.
Here is my question:
I’m just getting back into off-road and picked up an SC10 4x4 and am just about finished with the build. A local racer who has one was showing me his truck and mentioned that he doesn’t use the removable ESC tray or receiver box stating that they were more trouble than they were worth and ended up trapping dirt and “crud” underneath and inside of them.
To those of you racing the truck (my truck will only be used for racing/practicing – no bashing) are you running these? Why or why not?
Again, I apologize if this is buries somewhere in this thread, as I didn’t find it.
Thank you in advance.

Guys sorry for a question that's been covered probably before but I searched ..I'm rebuilding my shocks and putting in trackstar o rings what's working best 2 rings per shock or 1 ?
Also going down in oil weight because of o rings and sways front / back,, back to 30w f / 25w r
Does that sound about right ?
I was having nose diving problems !

I'm going to chime in here because, up until last night, I kinda felt the same about my SC10 4x4. I was having the same kinds of problems...twitchy, tail-happy handling both on entry and exit...feeling like I needed to tip-toe around every corner. I had been running M4 Calibers all around (and not getting nearly enough traction with them!) when another racer at our track suggested I try running the kit tires up front. I didn't have them with me but I did have some M3 Snipers which I threw on the back and lo-and-behold the truck came to life! I could now throw the truck hard into corners and accelerate out of corners with authority and it even jumped more efficiently with the better rear traction. I literally picked up an extra lap on a large 1/8th scale sized track with the tire change alone 
!
It may fall into the category of a setup "band-aid" but I really think this truck works better with a less grippy tire up front (or conversely, a grippier tire out back
). For the record, here is my setup:
Front:
30wt Losi oil/stock springs/kit shock positions
20,000wt diff
2.0mm swaybar
Kit camber link positions/3mm under inner ballstud
29mm ride height
M4 Calibers
Rear:
25wt Losi oil/stock springs/kit shock positions
7,000wt diff
no swaybar (don't have mine yet
)
Kit camber link positions/2mm under inner ballstud
29mm ride height
M3 Snipers
I would respectfully suggest to folks who are struggling with this truck to throw the kit tires up front to see what it does...it's easy and quick to do and based on my experience it might help!
Cheers,
Mike

today is a sad day ive been running associated cars since the gold tub rc10s. i waited for the sc10 4x4 to come out had it backordered since the day it was released. ive went to 5 races so far and i cant get this truck to be competitive no matter what i do. i ran all last year in the larc series with my jammin scrt10 and got second place for the year this year i cant even get around the track fast or smoothly with the sc10 4x4 ive been reading this forum trying everything and this truck is just squirley im sure i cant be the only one who thinks this. standing on the drivers stand i can take over controls on my buddies losi and put laps on other guys. i got out ran by a losi short course buggy sunday with a velinion system in it. wow was i bummed. i think its the last straw im thinking about selling the sc10 for the losi i know thats cursing on this forum but man i just cant get it to perform and its very hard to drive. so far i have not broke one part but my friends losis are eating parts like crazy. i sold my rc8be and bought the mugen mbx6 eco and wow i put a lap on my friend in the amain who usually is hard for me to keep up with. i know the buggys arent related but. maybe its time for a new car.
just seems like the sc10 take alot more finess to drive hard. ive got two sc10 4x4s that im thinking of selling the one im running and a brand new one never assembled i bought for parts. neither one will have shocks im running the losi 8 shocks and sold both sets of stockers.
setup tekin rx8, scx 4 4.5 reedy 40 c packs high torque pads 1015 servo. chris setup off forum. man i wish i could get her to act right im a die hard ae man and hate see it go but ill be damned if a 2wd buggy is gonna beat me again lol. maybe im missing something but its just not very stable. on power it wants to spin out and if i come into a corner to fast it rotates way to easy. sad sad day im gonna miss my associated but somethings gotta change. im not bashing the sc10 but damn im getting frustrated with it. is anyone else experiencing problems with handling. maybe its my driving style?
