Try some larger washers on the mud flaps. Less likely to stretch over then.

Ok, so I tried 50k front and 30k in the rear and loved it. It had better acceleration and more forward bite in the rear. It still felt loose in the corners, but is more controllable and pulled harder. It simply felt more stable.

Oh, had my first breakage, I broke a shock rod end, which allowed the front cvd to get twisted up.

wouldnt the thicker rear oil give you less rear traction in the corners?

Will any of the Lunsford Punisher turnbuckle wrenches fit the stock turnbuckles?

Doubt it... the "Punisher" line of turnbuckles are 3mm (check http://www.lunsfordracing.com/mm5/me...gory_Code=TURN ) and the SC104x4 turnbuckles are 4mm.

well, I was running 50k front and 7k rear and felt like the rear was just being pulled through a turn, like it was a pendulum, with 30k it seems to push the rear end more through the turn, rather than being pulled.

Look at how the rango's diffs are running 20k front 50k center and 10k rear. I dont think they lack traction.? And like the rango the sc10 has tons of steering and is light and agile. I just think this truck requires a different approach.

oh ok, i see what your saying. only reason i asked is i went up to 7k (from 3) and the rear feels slightly more loose. maybe i need to keep going up? or at least try it...

what about this one:

1/8th Scale Gas Wrench



I have this as well as the smaller punisher 1/10 wrenches, and the opening is bigger.

Wouldn't trying the 19t pulley in the rear in place of the stock 20t help out with countering that problem. Did you try it? Maybe than you could of stuck with the lighter fluids and achieved that balance between on power corner entry and exit?The pulley may have helped imo..Hope you get it right though ..
