Tech Rookie
Does anybody know or think the current Team Associated Underbody (ASC91168) for SC10 4x4 would fit on the coming soon Factory Team SC10 4X4??
The Chassis Brace seems to be in the way and the 2 "Clip holders" are gone. Looking at the Factory Team SC10 4X4 pictures and manual diagrams where these 2 "clip holders" used to be are replaced with screws to secure the carbon brace. Even if we can use Velcro to stick the underbody on the car, I think the chassis brace would still be in the way??
Because I already have this Underbody....I want to use it on the Factory Team kit.
Thanks.

I wish I wasn't a tech rookie so I could post links here because I have photos in photobucket. Its a tight set-up.

I am still running the stock 2 slipper pad setup, obviously getting mad amounts of slip and keep glazing the pads...
So what is better for the truck the center diff from RC Shox or running the clutch basket?
At the moment, I run on High-Med bite indoor track - really tight layout..

this problem just started happening. When these guys went back to regular savox their problems went away?

On nitro it's not a problem since they have their own power source (as an example), but with electric's IIRC all ESC's supply servo voltage at 6V, not the 7.4V HV servos need.
I have never used a Savox personally (I run KO stuff), but I've seen more than one of my friends go through this and the only solution was getting rid of the HV servo or running a RX battery pack.

I may go to a different servo that draws less. The last thing I want is this to happen at a race. Im glad I been taking my time and working out the bugs n fine tuning.
The weird thing is this isnt a HV servo.

Just slap a 7$ BEC from Hobbyking in there and you'll be good.

so I think I'm getting 'brownout's' with my setup. I would be running just fine and then all of a sudden, truck would shut off and/or would have steering and no throttle and/or throttle/esc would come on/off. the rx8 was giving an indication of low/no transmitter signal (all led's blinking). very weird.
It's weird cause it's an intermittent problem. Not sure if it is a combination of the pro4,rx8 and savox servo drawing too much amps at the same time or if it possibly is another problem like my transmitter not having enough volts/charge?? Randy Pike said maybe my transmitter is frequency hopping?? He also said to throw a cap on, so fingers crossed.
I have a spectrum cap that I'm going to throw in the receiver to see if it fixes the problem.

Diff oil ?
Does everyone still recommend the 20wt front and 5wt rear diff oil for a 1/8 scale outdoo track? I've been running 10/5 for indoor. I'm running a MTK slipper with garodiscs.

Guess not
Sometimes I would lose all power to everything and it would make my truck act possessed. Most of the time I'd lose the throttle and still have steering.
So I'll take it out Wednesday to see if she still has the the same issues.
One way or another I gotta figure it out before trying to enter a race.

I have a cap, but since the RX8 has a 5 amp internal BEC I thought I was ok.

You can probably get away with the 10/5 honestly.

I don't have another servo unfortunately.
Yes it is a giant p.i.t.a to swap one out, I only want to swap out only if I absolutely have to.
The weird thing about this is it is intermittent and usually happens later on in the day when I'm running.
I'm wondering this: If my batteries (saddles) are discharged to a certain degree that they can't maintain the amps.
I am using 20c saddles (whatever the Gens Ace rating is could be 25c), that could possibly be it. Maybe I need more c ?
