Losi 1/10 TEN-SCTE ARR 4x4 Short Course Truck Thread

FYI that the new T-Bone Racing bumper for TEN-SCTE doesnt mount to that at all anymore. I had many issues, after speaking with the owner a lot on this, they enhanced it and it looks like their new version is way more stable and you shouldnt really break their center brace piece that was in the original one. Also, no attaching to that tiny piece, so you can probably leave it out. I would probably get a new one and just screw it in so that it is there, but not doing anything

The pin after this initial break was replaced. After putting a brand new insert in and a brand new hinge pin, it came out on the second lap.
I have a replacement on it's way and will use the new 1mm longer TiNi coated hinge pins which should drastically reduce the chance of this happening again.

This might fix it (but make your insert permanent). Remove the plastic insert, and use some 120 to 200 grit sand paper to scuff up the aluminum around the broken area. Mix up some JBWeld and put it in the aluminum cavity. Push the insert back into the cavity (JBWeld will ooze out). Form a bit of the oozed JBWeld around the aluminum area that broke to give some structure.
Let it dry, and then trim any excess/sand it some to give it some form and make it look pretty. JBWeld is pretty good a being formed using a file/dremel/sandpaper.
At least it might save you some money, or make a real nice backup part for you.
Also - as another poster mentioned - replace your pin as it might be bent, adding to the issue.

I didn't know t-bone was making a redesigned bumper for the scte, I'll check it out, thanks!
I asked this question several pages back but no answer. I've been looking but can't find exactly what I'm looking for. What kind of shock setups are everyone using. Springs, Pistons, Bladders or bladders with foams or Immulsion setup, vented caps or not, oil, rebound.
Thanks
Thanks
Works great for a rough, loose outdoor track, I may try differen't weight shock oil's this spring.
Hello All, I just wanted to make you all aware of some new parts that got announced today and will be in stock shortly. I will give the description and possibly what was altered to make them better.

Sweet to have some more new option parts for this truck, I think im going to order the nitride coated shock shafts to make them even smoother then they already are. I've yet to have any issues with the Hinge pins so I'll have to pass on those.

The servo saver tube will be on the must have list as it will take a lot of the slop out of the steering system.

I have broken one arm in that spot. As far as the bumpers go I keep breaking the piece that connects to. The small piece that holds the front shock towers on. The rear bumper keeps breaking and I'm to the point where I'm not buying another one, I'll just run with it broke. You know with this truck comming from the 8ight line on vehicles you would think they would learn something from them. I picked up my 8ight T 2.0 yesterday and it is way beefier than the miniaturized SCTE version. The SCTE is well built but there are just some wimpy parts on it that make no sense, like the rear bumper. I really don't understand the hex inserts in the diffs.

Do you have a part number for that? Im actually looking for a metal servo horn for my SCTE. However, my search has come up nil. The height of the plastic saver is much higher than the few metal horns ive seen.
Yeah, the big thing there is the extra length for that rear adjustable hinge pin brace and the extreme angles we are using.
