not sure i going to make that race yet if going to rain i wont be there i not going to run indoor.

and i bought the ae truck to see whats better.

so is everone using saddles or can you race with a stick back

I think it's still split on who actually races with saddle. It's been said the truck is better with saddle but I think people are waiting for an actual conversion from AE. If I had the patience I would switch to saddle just to get that much better of a handling truck. What ever I can do to be faster without practice. LOL.

I made the switch to saddles. I was winning at the club level w/o them, so it surely can be done w/ the stick.

With the stick pack the truck is pretty heavy on the battery side, to get it balanced, depending on what motor and esc you run, you'll need to ad close to 5oz to the motor side. Don't quote me on the 5oz, my bud added around that.

My truck, w/ the esc opposite the radio box and a 540 motor, is almost balanced w/o any extra weight. I think that's the advantage to the saddles, less dead weight, plus you can shift the weight forward a ton.

I had to move my packs back because it gained a ton of steering and got lite on traction. I probably could have fixed that w/ other things, but it's easier to mount them the way I have them now.

I'm running my saddles side x side and as far back as the center brace will let me.

Raced it last night, tq'ed and won, got passed by a Durango, but he broke.

Still looking to add the MTK clutch basket and the rcshox shock pistons, after that I should be set.........

i cut out the center "rib" in the rear of the chassis and moved my saddles all the way back. i love the way it drove with the saddles up front but it was lacking rear traction and sidebite. hopefully the rear mounted saddles will help. i will know saturday

I am going to be a rebel and stick with the regular pack set up. I have balance checked my truck and with 1oz on the outer nerf bar I have a balanced chassis. The farther out the weight the less you need to off-set the battery. I am also running a 540 motor and RS Pro speedo. I did add a fan and move the receiver box foward and the speed control back but it drives good for me.

i have a durango with a rx8 and castle 4 pole 3800 in it.

what ever one liking for the sc10?

+1

Tekin pro4 4600 with an MMP. Depends on if you want a 540 or 550. I ran 540 then 550 now a Pro4 which I guess is a 540.

Racecrafter has a great setup with a stick pack. Hopefully trackstar will sell thr conversion for it. Places battery down the middle of chassis. The post is #4948 in this thread

can anyone tell me why my belt sounds like its slipping off the gears under hard braking,ive changed the belt,turn down my brakes,tightened my slipper down more,i cant figure it out????????

Belt slipping is normal under hard braking. If you read the clicker section on page 42 in your manual it will describe it.

Any of you guys that have bought the spring packs.....

Do the springs fit the shocks better than the stock ones?

Mine rub the shock bodies quite a bit, more so on the rears.

I'll spend the money on the packs if the 'blues' will work as they should and try the yellow fronts. If the blues are the same as the stockers, then I'll just buy the yellow fronts.

Seems like the spring supplier dropped the ball on this truck. slipper spring,servo saver spring and the shock springs.

check your mesh and condition of spur. I was running 48 pitch with castle 1410 , gears looked fine but were actually jumping under braking. Move to 32 pitch and fixed.

Spring rub on stock or FT bodies. I don't get it...Hey lets make new springs and make them rub just like the V3 shocks on the SC10...great idea..send it to production!
I took a dremel to the shock body and left about 1/4" of flat to cure this.
