5LikesSC10 4x4 Thread

I believe it was a roar sanctioned event, it was the JConcepts Indoor Winter Nationals 4wd Open Short Course class, with an XSCT winning it . The trend follows as this, a car producer just has to say the chassis is 1/10 scale. It doesnt matter if the truck shares 1/8 parts. Its all in the name. It seems not to matter what the parts came off of as long as the new chassis has the right name, i.e. 1/10 scale.
Personally, I am not sure how they could really police it any other way as then you get into splitting hairs on how much of a "change" is present in the vehicle for it not to be considered a conversion? I mean technically, since losi has that 1/8 810 buggy that they call 1/8 scale and the SCTE appears to share alot of stuff with it, someone could argue its a "conversion" of a 1/8.
I am very curious to see how the ground up 4x4 SCTs are going to be able to complete with the 1/8 buggy based 4x4 SCTs.
If the whole SC104x4 thing doesn't work out, wouldn't be surprised to see an RC8 based one in the future.

A lot of people are making RC8 based ones, there's a thread for it on this forum somewhere. Basically they are buying the SC8 and changing the chassis to an RC8. Milling the hubs down, getting it with in spec.

I attached a link to the "type" of surface I will be running on in a couple weeks. The layout wont be the same but any advice where to start with a setup would be greatly appreciated. The 1/10 SC's will be sharing the track with the 8 scales so the track will end up getting blown out real quick.

Ah, cool Motorama. Shame they aren't running any nitro this year.
I'd start with getting as much droop as you can, that will help a lot. Tire choice will be huge.
My buddy that goes to that race every year said he really liked City Blocks on SC. From Pro-Line I'd probably go with Gladiators or Blowfighters. Maybe even Blockades if it grooves up at all.

right tool
I have been following this whole thread. I own a sc104x4. I see a trend, this vehicle is excellent as a light nimble truck for tight small courses. It does not appear to excel at competing on the 1/8 scale big tracks against 1/8 scale based sc trucks. If the situation requires a precise torque wrench, you do not use a breaker bar, and vice versa. For best results, use the right tool for the job.
You can re-engineer it all you want, and kudos to any success you have doing so. But in the end, is it going to be cost effective to replace half the truck with custom pieces in order to correct a design deficiency or limitation(perceived or real). Is it really that great of a product if so many revisions are needed to make it competitive?
Flame suit on...

Does anyone know how the Orion R10 pro would work in the sc10 4x4?
Would it be able to handle it without burning it up?

I'm just thinking out loud here. The center diff transfers power to point of least resistance right. So that would mean that while in air all maneuvering control power would be pushed to the rear end. The belt drive would cause enough resistance to divert the power that the slipper diff would transfer to the front. Let me know if my ramblings have any merit.

If the diff sends power to the point of least resistance and the vehicle is in the air, would that mean that front and rear would get power close to equally?

Yes orion r10 pro works good, i run it with a 4 pole tenshock motor and it never gets hot or anything, great esc imo

They are still working out kit details but it is supposed to be sold as a kit and a possible conversion too.
