SC10 4x4 Thread
WEll guys i am back from yet another loooooong day racing at the RCpro finals! funny how we get stuck in over simplifiying everything while trying to find a setup. my lesson for these past few days is to not forget the basics. i had a real hard time yesterday with the truck, just didnt feel right. after reading some of your suggestions and the fact that we have had no practice since wed, any changes you make need to work or you waste a round. so today i got to the track, went 1.5* toe in and -1* camber in the front and it completely settled down the truck! KAPPOW truck cam alive, first round i ran quick enough to make the A main (in a normal style race) second round it got quicker! BUT the way this race is run you get the best 3 out of 5 quals to determine the mains. since i had a real crappy day yesterday i only finished 1 round in SC and left before the third round. so this put me 3rd in the B main with a 2 man bump. tone goes off and i managed to get out front by the third turn and pretty much check out UNTIL lap traffic comes up and i get MALAYED sending me all the way back to 5th
i managed to catch back up to third within 2 seconds but it was not looking like i could catch him in time but wouldnt ya know it the Losi that was leading DUMPED
so i am now in the triple A mains for tomorrow. during the second qual the rear was getting loose so i switched to SS rebars in the back with soft holeshots in the front. Truck felt awesome in the main, super fast (thanx sourdiesel for the 4600!!) plenty of punch! the bad new is that Ryan Lutz is here and that dude is FAAAAAST his freakin SC laptimes are faster than 99% of pro E buggy!! only E buggy quicker is himself and an AE sponsered guy, the Rango is impressive!
so in the SC main there are 10 Losi's, 1 Rango and one SC10!
will chime in tomorrow night for the results!

I need advise....I just brought one with a Venom 4800kv and a cheap ar$e Hobbyking 60amp ecs running 13.28:1 (93/18) and it keeps thermal-ling with the motor really hot.
Today I must of not tightened the slipper up properly when I changed spurs and it just melted the pads and spur. So I need to get the Hi-torque pads and another spur.
I have a LRP 13.5T an TC Spec esc from my TC I'm thinking of putting in and would like to know what gear ratio should I be running with this setup?
I'm only bashing on a track in my mates backyard.
Cheers

I use the spacer mod with HD pads and all I can say is "bingo".
That's the result of mine too. I use regular pads and have done that to two idlers. Bottom line is you need to get the metal ones, and metal diff. But: Try regular pads first obviously before you spend 60 bucks on gears.

I use the spacer so I don't have to use the basket and "I" have had good results with it. Almost everyone else will disagree and say i'm talking out my ass.
The pin is for performance out of the truck. The Spacer/Basket is so the truck even 'works'.
Good luck today Mantis. I know you can represent us well!!!
After Mantis' experience I may have to get some rear hubs with toe. I love the STRC bling.
I noticed a lot of binding in my shocks but its not between the piston and body, its between the O-rings and the shaft. The car is brand new do the O-rings just have to get worn in? Or is there something wrong?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Mine seem OK but I rebuilt them completely and green slimed the o-rings. Some people are removing the upper ring or replacing the stock rings with round o-rings.
