Hey nzdans, what gearing are you using with the 8.5 motor?

I built it with 23/87 as the manual recommends 24/87 for 10.5 brushless. This was fine for the 2 (5000 mAh) packs I have put through it; I ran it with the expo on the radio on -50% although may try -60% next time, I took it for some high speed play in the grass and the temp was still fine.

Built mine w/o issue. No probelm w/ the steering rubbing, no misssing parts, caught the typo on the rear links early, and my diff is like butta.

I'm addding about 6 ozs of weight to the chasssis as the SC10 is about 20 ozs lighter than the Slash and seems to need a little extra weight. Black grease in the diff, running 37.5 wt oil front and rear, gold spring up front, greens in the rear, front arms level (rtr w/ body installed), rear arms level (rtr w/ body installed), 25 degree castor blocks, moved the ball end to the outer most hole on the rear hub to make the rear links as long as possible, added some FT T4 links, alloy hinge pin brace, CVDs, assorted stainless hardware, and a custom chassis brace added to the bottom of the chassis as I've seen a few chassis break.

Looking for a good 2200 KV motor to run, not sure maybe one from Medusa?

We'll see how it holds up in the heavier SC10, but I've never had issues with the idler in my T4s running 3s with a Feigao 540 4200 kv. Even running on asphalt with mini-pins (can't keep the front end down, or the truck on the ground at all), it has never let go. There is a big difference in the Associated transmissions and the Traxxas.

I ran a 5.5 in my T4. Pretty much my off road motor is a 5, or 6.5. mod Truck, and mod 4wd buggy. So the SC10 should be fine

I agree very much with your first post linc, I couldnt stand the quality of my t4. Thats gone... Its a shame, because there well designed cars, just the quality of everything is poop

Setting my SC10 up to run in the SCT class which regulates a 17.5 motor. I just finished painting mine last night.

That's a wicked nice body Dezfan!

After watching soe racing action this weekend, I think its safe to say that the SC10 is a much much much better racer than the slash. I Watched the race side by side and the SC10 just out-did the slash on every part of the track!

Plus, I love the scale mudflaps on the back...

nice truck. I ordered the rtr and plan on putting a 17.5 on it since thats what roar calls for. My track is doing open but its a small layout and I think I will be able to hang with the 17.5.

very nice truck dezfan

how much do you think you have spent on it?

I bought a SC10.. my first kit that I have ever put together! I still need to buy a motor.. Do you think a 10.5 will be a good all around motor? Our track is more technical than high speed right now..

I don't think so, in that pic the slash/sc10 look to be about the same size. The sc8 body is a good couple inches bigger. Here is a comparison with sc8 body and slash, I am curious about the tires. the rims look close to the same size but the sc8 tires look bigger.

The sc8 has a truggy chassis, IIRC, so it is longer. Seems like the slash/sc10 bodies are about the same wheelbase as a 1/8 buggy. The sc10 wheels have 12mm hex, but do have staggered sidewalls like the slayer does. Pretty sure the slash is like this too (not 100%). I am guessing the sc8 and sc10 have the same over tire height, and that should be similar to the slash/slayer.

The slash, slayer and sc10 all use the same style tires and will fit each others wheels. Also all future corr style trucks should be the same as roar has adopted these sizes as the standard for the new corr/short course class. I thought the sc10 didn't have hex wheels though, and was using T4 style drive pins and bearings in the wheels? And the sc8 uses a truggy chassis with buggy arms so it is longer then the sc10 and slash, but the wheellbase is the same as an erevo/3.3 revo. I don't know about all buggies but a slash/slayer body fitsmy ofna of buggy perfect

That is correct, Associated doesn't do hexes in their 1/10 offroad stuff (except maybe the B44, but I'm not sure there).
