I've got a JConcepts cover for our outdoor track which is pretty dusty/dirty. Fit is decent and its velcroed in place so its fairly easy to use. Our indoor local track is much tidier and doesn't need the cover. On a cleaner track they are just kind of a pain.

I have a couple questions I have had a SC10 for about 7 months and my Reedy 3300kv motor died but not sure why I have always checked temps. Anyway is there any chance AE will help me out with this issue? I also bought a new gear diff complete kit but there was no sun gears in the package and all the gears are different now so couldn't use any of the others had to reuse my old gears! Anybody else ever had stuff missing and I really don't know if it's worth the hassle to get some new ones from AE and try to get a new motor or not? I am just curious how AE is about support. Thanks for any info!

What maintenance are you guys doing after a race weekend. I feel like I need to do more. I am checking/adding fluid in the shocks every race night, I rebuild when they start leaking or not preforming. I check the ball diff after every race, I take it apart and check for grooves in all the washers about once a month. I only rebuild or change bearings and washers when needed... I check all nuts and bolts after a night of racing. Other than that I don't do much, Granted I keep it pretty clean all the time, so I am assuming this helps. Are you guys oiling anything, CVA's, bearing, motor, etc... If so with what and how often. Thanks for any and all info,

I clean it. Go over the screws and nuts make sure they are tight. Clean the tires apply Tire Tweaker to the tires. I check the axle drive pins(I have broken a few of them) I check the rims for cracks. I have found one cracked already
I readjust all the suspension settings. I have found through out a night my buggy and truck will change a lot after a night of racing. one night the truck went from -1 camber to =3 camber

A quick and easy way would be to get lower caster blocks. You can also slide your pack to the front. It's hard to really discuss camber links without knowing the whole setup.

You should see a small half round groove with a small screw hole beneath it on each side (front side of the tower). Bar lays in the groove and is held in with a small button head screw and washer.

To those who have glued the servo saver down, any problems with it coming apart? I only ask because I stripped the plastic the servo saver nut holds on to so I had to leave the spring out so I can reassemble it.
I was playing around with it because I had a nasty on power push on the truck which I've never had a problem with, ever. I checked the steering and it had a lot of give, even with the nut all the way down, so I CAd the servo saver together. Now it's beautiful, just worried that it could come apart with a good hit.
