80wt shock oil front, 10wt rear, high interest spring rates, +3degree camber front, -20 degree rear, no castor blocks, illegal squat, links all the way from the hub to the shock tower, running sanyo SCE cells so no additional weight :thumbsup:

I think you can make the truck handle 'safer' by setting up the chassis, but in the end, with the kit tyres and diff in it, it is still gonna be lairy!!

Yes but what you guys running the shocks n that? The backs really thick and the front proper light :confused:
Would 35/30wt 2 hole n 1 hole work like in the B4?

Will check for you but pretty sure they are 3 infront will check back and get back to you.

I know there is def 3 somewhere as I remember when I did the oil :confused:

Hmmm might put the old 2/1 35/30 B4 set-up on it and see how that is, might be a bit weird on these though!

Pretty sure it's 3's in the front and 1's in the rear - Definitely 3's and 1's just not 100% which way round it was....

Dan have you checked the manual?

I think most people have just built them as per that - Pretty sure it's 3's in the front as the weight is quite far forward it keeps the car tail happy as it should be :thumbsup:

Haha behave yourself - the SC10 should be left as it came in the box, no Losi rubbish on there!!

Look, I'll put my hands up to having changed my springs OK. Does this mean the "stock-spec" police will be waiting for me when I get home tonight???:woot:

I run mine on carpet and found that it was just toooo soft on the front and rear ends. On the slow speed tighter parts of the track layout we had, it was just lazily rolling over so much it was getting boring. Couldn't be arsed to faff about with the oils and shock positions and fitting as many preload spacers as I had to the kit springs just made it worse landing the jumps.

I've got Truck reds on the front and Truck/Buggy blues on the back and it's at least manageable now. In fact, compared to my B4 which I brought out of retirement last night its a doddle :lol:.

So anyway, please don't shoot me for deviating from kit spec, sometimes for some of us lesser talented mortals, it's necessary.

HI everybody,

does any of you guys have a SC10 Setup for large synthetic turf track? Especially tire tipps are appreciated.

Thanks, nic

Stock tyres and inserts work well in the dry on Astro...Surprisingly!

Best advice I can give you to get them to handle is to get some weight in it!

I got mine handling nice at club nights by running a brass bulkhead front and rear (Ghea ones), and some heavy lipos.
I also went up 5wt from the kit oil, and moved the shocks out at the bottom. I seem to remember that it was no.3 pistons in the front, and No.1's in the back.

HTH Dude! Oh...and make sure your tyres are in good nick...this makes a big difference IMO.

if you're running stock tires, take a dremel to the rears (only) and grind the outside edges off at about a 45-degree angle (get rid of the sharp edge). i think you'll find it helps the rearend rotate easier on high grip surfaces :)
