Now to fit the old blue shocks on the SC10 2w.

Does the spring kit come with light enough springs for a 2w SCT?

ThunderbirdJunkie may give this a shot on his XXX-SCT

As far as ThunderbirdJunkie knows his springs have not yet arrived

ok guys, after reading this entire thread, I am now wondering if I did something wrong installing my steering servo. Nobody else seemed to have the same issue I am having. I am using a hitec 5645mg. after I installed and still on the bench, it looked like the servo horn would hit the housing so I dremeled out a notch in the housing to give the horn a little more clearence. Do you guys think I installed it wrong or when would the endpoints been ok? Any advise would be great. Thanks

The lightest springs might be close. Kysoho big bore springs for their RT5 shocks should work if not.

check slickdeals . Lowes had a deal on a infared temp gun with the laser sight for $10 recently. I bought it and it works well for what it is enough so i'll be selling my other one.

It may go on special again:

Jstall7543 bought a orange wrapped 936 from Amain and saved $10 because of the color. Jstall7543 wishes he would have bought the Haako to begin with, he would have saved over $100 on light duty junk irons.

Jstall7543 doesn't think the swaybars should cost $40 and he doesn't think they are needed for where he runs. Jstall7543 got his name from AOL in 1994! Lol and then he kept using it. Reason unknown.

Eli has been running two trackstar o-rings from day one with good success. Eli would also like to know how just one works out for you.

Jstall7543 hasn't taken his shocks apart yet so his answer would be zero! Lol!

Maybe driving 2WD is a good way to learn things?

thanks for the reply.
