Anyone have a line on an X-12L 4.5 in stock somewhere. All the typical places are out of stock.
Same thing with Gridirons..

I didn't find the cartridge in stock anywhere yet, unfortunately.
I have, however, rebuilt the shocks removing the lower x-ring of the cartridge on all 4 shocks. While doing this I have pretty much come to the conclusion that the bottom cap of the cartridge is only there to hold the bottom x-ring in place, so I've just re-assembled the 'broken' one and there seems to be no leakage. It's still not very smooth so I'll be replacing the cartridge when they are available, but at least it'll let me run the local 'big race' that starts tomorrow.

I don't know how many people will be there for this one, but I'll try to give the SC10 4x4 a good showing

All you have to do is line up the servo saver post with the servo saver bottom(the indent for the bottom nut end). bring it out to the garage , put the bottom post end to the concrete, and push dowm hard on the servo saver bottom, or top if that is on. Once the post is all the way inserted into the bottom piece, its a piece of cake.

Hmmm, after I put mine back together, (before I realized I was missing that bottom cap) I lost all the shock oil and had to run the main with spring only. Anyhow, nobody has the parts yet, any suggestions for other shocks? I think I saw someone mention some Losi 1/8th scale shocks, but can't find that post. Looking for something comparable or better since I can't get parts for the stock ones.

My truck free rolls smoothly but when i am on throttle and hit the breaks hard it makes a chirpy grindy noise...My buddy said he had that same sound in his jammin...If i slam the breaks after throttle it makes this horrid chirp??Anybody??
I clipped a corner at rolling speed
and seem to have broken either the servo or servo horn...I was literaly rollin slow ..I think the servo saver is so tight with that kit spring that it doesn't really have any servo saving give??I think someone else brought that up earliar a few pages back..
So now that I have to dig the servo assembly out to see what has to be replaced or hopefully just a silly fix...Any ideas on what my problem is??The servo makes a screeching noise when turned with some minor respose to the wheels??I did not loctite the servo nut..Could that be the culprit??Or is it bc, the servo saver does not behave like a servo saver??Should I put grease as recommended b/f on the servo savers 2 halves??
How do I take out the servo assembly most efficiently??I think it was mentioned b/f??Sorry just dont know what page it was posted way back...Will check to see if its in the first page...If not, it may be a valuable guide to changing servos quickly, for peeps to look up in the first page??..Any feedback please??

Anyone done any foolin' with the "U" and "O" pulleys?
I made a mistake while building, I installed the "U" pulley in the rear. I've been driving the truck this way. I've practiced a couple of nights and raced one night. The truck is awesome, wonder if it'll be better w/ the stock 20 pulley on the rear?
The manual states that the the smaller pulley in the rear slows the rotation of the front tires. The manual only says that this will help stabliize the truck in certain conditions.
Anyone know of a better explanation than the manual gives? If anything I think speeding up the fronts would be the way to go.
What should I expect w/ the stock setup 20f/20r? Compared to what I did, 20f/19r?

You can get a lithium black and decker at Lowes for $29 and the bit at your local hobby store for $5. Money well spent for the initial build and if you need to do any thing with it when your racing. It speeds up your tear down and build back up. Especially if you need to do any differential work during a race event. To pull both diffs and rebuild it should take an hour or so. With out the tool tac on another tweenty.

When you give throttle is it quiet like a sc 10 2wd or does it have some upmh to it??Maybe your right about when i break and that it is the belt slipping, it's just I have not heard it from others in vids..

Maybe you misunderstood but my servo is not working...It cant turn the wheels and makes that noise when i try too??
