My thoughts on the SC10 kit...

[hootie7159]

so the sc10 and sc8 are the same size???since the body and wheels are the same size????

Yeah I guess they are about the same, can't confirm height although I'm pretty happy I went for the cheaper model now finding out that the SC8 is just a whole lot heavier with 4WD.

Anyway for those wondering if truck wheels will fit on the rear of the SC10...

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?

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.
