SC10 Thread
#8116
Hey guys- back in the hobby after many moons away. Used to know a lot, used to be good.
Starting out with an RTR SC10 RS- getting the truck sorted for a low-traction outdoor track. Already added a ball diff, a bunch of weight and ordered Losi 1 and 2 degree hub carriers.
Need more rear traction.

I have battery forward. 3oz weight under foam behind the battery. 1/4 oz n front of the servo, 1/4 oz in front of the shock tower. My truck feels like it is on rails. I went from a castle 1410 3800kv motor back to the Stock RS Reedy 3300kv motor. went faster and was able to get more traction.
Also may want to look into gearing depending on where you are losing the traction,.

I bought the plastic battery cover you recommended(not the carbon fiber), another battery, a rear swaybar, and the bleeder shock caps, so hoping to have them by Wednesday. Do most of you move the battery all the way back in the tray?

Will do...I appreciate it. Wish they had everything in stock, so I could be putting it all together right now.

Anyone actually running a rear sway on their sc10? Ive seen a ton of them and not 1 person has had a rear sway...kinda wondering why they even make it for the 2wd.
I know people mod it to use it up front, thinking about doing it myself, but havent had any real reason too.
Btw, i took my foam, cut 1/3rd off it, put the big piece in the back and the small in the front, i actually bought an extra foam and cut it into 3 so i can mix and match, but havent changed it since really. Just to fit a longer lipo (had a soft pack lipo that was longer than a normal hard case). I also use the normal plastic battery strap...i use a couple turnigy hard cases and they are taller than normal. The carbon fiber strap i got broke when i tried cranking it down. It wasnt the pressure, it was the pack being too tall, and i could only back out the thread posts so much. The pastic lipo strap is tough....i can vouch for that, i even stepped on it the other day and it slight bent, alittle adjustment and it was straight again.

On the SC10 I already am running the red springs in the front and green in the rear with more than 3oz. added. If I added the sway bar it would give me more steering than I need and force me to reduce the spring rate in the front resulting in a reduction of rear forward bite on acceleration. I think this change would also impact the jumping perfomance adversly too. The stiffer front springs keep the nose now off jumps.
