I haven't had traction rolling issues since I raised the inner camber links....though I don't have an indoor track, and last year, I did not have a great slipper setup so I did not have the power in the corners....

I'm 99% certain that the RCCA issue you are referring to is talking about setting up the SC10 2wd with a ball diff and slipper.
The SC104x4 is the only 4x4 SC truck that I am aware of that has a "regular" slipper....

I could try to find the issue you are talking about, but before I do that, just wanted to put it out there that if you can hold your pinion, and push your truck, causing the slipper plates to slip on the pads, you will have a hard time putting power to the ground in a heavy 4wd truck.

Now I just feel dumb
so basically I was stripping out my diff gears when I was hearing the 'clicking'.....I hate learning new things the hard way Thanks all!

The effect of these is a higher roll center correct? I think that would be the reason he was traction rolling, no?
Pretty soon I'll be running an indoor track that is being built as we speak. Check this out, it'll be 100' x 70' , large enough to run nitro.
I'm fookin excited and can't wait to try it out.

ive seen all the things posted about the ft kit and i decided to order it. what kinds of diff will i see in the way my truck performs on the track with it esp the vts slipper

it will be better.
VTS Slipper will let you get way more punch than the original, and more adjustability with 3 pads, 4 friction surfaces, and more tension under the spring.....about the same as MTK's basket.
Brace will help with belt tension slipping under hard landings....about the same as....Coyote's brace? Not sure who started all that mess....but I remember Coyote being one of the first to offer them for sale...
You can run sticks or saddles, which can help with the weight balance and get the truck jumping more level.... just like whoever decided to take the B44's battery tray and make it the Sc104x4.....
Surprised that the FT kit doesn't include front springs for all 4 corners...

Yes..., I can ....
get your decoder rings out please ....
Apologies for the tease
I just wanted to try out first before posting ...
Ever notice the diff's can have a tight feel and not as smooth, kinda notchy or at least not as smooth as you would like ?
Discovered if you over tight the screws U just distort the gear and this is the reason why the diff can feel as I mention....
Then you also find its leaks as well ....
Solution
do not over tighten the screws
add a extra seal as well....
Result
smooth as butter -O-yeah !

Ride height is no sweat with the front springs on the rear. The only problem is the spring wants to fall out of the bucket at full droop. You should have some travel limiters in there anyway to try and save the outdrives, so adding a 2mm shim between the bucket and the eyelet is not a big deal.

Help a newb with obviously more $ than brains
I believe that my issues are being covered....traction roll.....raise inner ball stud...how much?....rear gear diff failure....why...how much$...and this new trick clutch I have....where in the world does that get set....I've toasted a set of rears so I'm guessing slightly less than ft recommendations? Please help....I have to smoke the slosi's...I've set my truck up as told by the FT 4x4 manual...except 10k front diff fluid...front blue springs on rear....and orange front sway and yellow rear sway....I race on a tight bumpy scale SC track...
