What is the difference for the losi springs? Rates? Progression? Trendiness?

Questions??

I just got through building a T4.1... As far as wheels, is there an adaptor for either the front or rear so I can use the same rims instead of different for the front and rear? What is the best option?

Thanks... BL

Brad Shear says he is using the SC10 front hex conversion WITHOUT the hex, leaving the pin. Thus using T4 REAR wheels on front and rear. I haven't seen it in person though.

You can always change the front/rear over to the quick change hubs

7988 is the Associated part # for the rears, fronts are available from a couple of different sources.

you mean the axles that come in the FT kit? No, never seen that problem, bur on the end of the axle maybe? Right bearings?, tranny bearings are metric the fronts are standard..just a thought..

actually the 4 small bearings in the tranny might be standard as well, can't remember....

the front axles bearings should be the same as the small bearings in the tranny. I think the part # is 3977

Way back in the day, RC10 early days, we went to inline axles to make the car steer less at high speed, and more at low speeds. Does the same apply now?

I came back to the hobby, after many years, B3/T3 days, to now, and i am confused by the trailing axles. I just wonder why there back in fashion is all. I read something that the trailing axles provide more straightline stability.

Anyone try using inlines on a SC10? that thing needs some high speed steering stabalizing, IMHO.

Thanks, Krom.
