SC10T---the build

[BakedMopar]

Update, and question, I'm hoping the sc10 wheels will work with the stock 10t front axles and 10t rear mip cvd's, anyone have a set that they could test to let me know?

The fronts will work and the backs will work as long as you have the 3/16" axles and not 1/4"

You might want to wait a few weeks before buying SC10 rear wheels though. They strip out easily and a revision is on its way. Or get the Proline wheels.

I had to JB weld mine, they were starting to go on the first race night, they don't make em like they used to.

sorry no updates, racing a monthly outdoor series with my b4, havent done any work to this, got some rpm ballcups and am measuring for tie rods, then just need cvd's, bearings, wheels, and body - so hopefully soon if I stop breaking buggy parts

The silver rears are out of stock everywhere, I wonder if this is why? Tower had them backordered, R/C Planet said they were in stock so I ordered them last night, for an RC10T conversion, but I got an email this morning that they were out of stock.

[SteveK]

The body just arrived today, with the front tires, but they forgot my tie-rods, and the rear wheels are still on backorder even though they haven't updated their site. I don't think I'll be ordering from R/C Planet again.

And dang, it looks like standard truck wheels and tires would have fit after all....

C'mon Steve, let's see your SC10T... the suspense is killing me

I drilled the original chassis slightly crooked, so I'm giving it another go. I'm designing a new one, a more traditional double-decker setup. I think I stretched the wheelbase a little too much with my original design, setting it so the front wheels are centered in the fenders when the chassis bottoms out.

Steve I was under the impression that if you measured the wheel base of an rc10T and then measured the wheel base of an sc10; subtracted the one from the other you would get the stretch you need to put onto your rc10T chassis. Is that correct or does the angle of the shock tower put a dent in this theory.

No, that's the correct theory, but because the front ends are kicked up at 30 degrees, the wheelbase gets shorter as the suspension compresses, thus at what ride height did they take the wheelbase measurement? The wheelbase is 12.9-13", judging by pictures I'm seeing it looks like the front wheels line up in the fenders at standard ride height, so I'll just prop the chassis up to that height and measure from there.

The listed measurements on websites and in magazines are always suspect anyway; at times RC Car Action would have several different dimensions listed for the same car throughout their reviews and shootouts and other articles.

I was thinking i should get this build back to the important main point{ME and MY BUILD} She is done elecs in and body on racing in it tonight. I have Been racing my SC10 slash and 10T every wed and sat nights offroad, and fri nights VTA. The track is a small carpet track in a mall hobby store great wood jumps, discs, obsticles, it is a fun track . Weather here is bad so outdoor tracks r shut Down . The SC10T was just calling and crying for attention so i FINALLY FINISHED A PROJECT really no Kidding....My only Real concern for breakage is the Rear 3deg blocks...kinda hard to come by i was planning to make a small brace for the front of the pins but ran out of time....Im already thinking of doing a new chassis for it
