Outdrive is probably wobbly from the cvd/a-arm pushing it up under full suspension compression and in turn flexing the washer under the sun gear creating slop in the diff.
Remove diff, replace sun gear washers with

Use one under each sun gear.
Attach one 2mm and one 1mm shock travel limiting clip under the rubber bumper on the bottom of the shock shaft so the outdrive does not come into contact with the cvd/a-arm.

Didn't have a good day at the track today, I forgot to bring my V2 diff setup with me and unf. I lost my FT outer slipper hub so couldn't run that, I ended up having to run the original slipper setup and I must say it brought back bad memories.......... I couldn't go 5 laps without noticing the loss of power (mainly the rear) due to the pads just not holding up for long.

Anybody got a good setup for a clicker?
What up fella's,
Craig, i got my setup similar to this(Hartson), with stick pack...
(Indoor slick polished, clay)
So, depending on battery weight, of course,(Gens Ace 40C & TP 65C)
3oz's is needed L.F.???
I have 1oz currently, but don't have 4scales, to get perfect..

Without the scales it's impossible to guess. I'd keep adding on the LF till I got the weights 50/50 L/R and then set the cross.

If you aren't using the scales to set up, I'd not sweat it that much because you are just playing a guessing game and more than likely wind up guessing wrong.

So what affect does raising the rear link have on the truck? I'm new to this truck and am trying to learn as much as possible before my next race.

Anybody out there running Losi shock oil, I know probably a sin but that's what I run in everything, the set up I'm using says to run 32.5 from and 27.5 rear(indoor slick) but the truck seems unsettled, and I know there is a difference between ae oil and Losi any suggestions on how much thicker I should go?

The short answer is it changes the roll center without changing the camber curve. For the long answer, I wrote a post a couple days back. You can find it here.

I would not be inclined to use the Avid hubs on the SC10 4x4. I do not think they are robust enough for use on a six pound 4wd vehicle. For a 2w buggy, they'll be fine.
