Did a search, came up with mixed results from a while ago. Can somebody advise me what diff oil weight to run up front when I install the exotek locked front clutch? I've heard 7000 and a few pages back somebody said 30000. Anybody who has one? Thanks much guys

I dont have mine yet. I out 7k in my front diff. I did this in response to the information I found on the shortcourse forums. I was not able to fine much info on the rctech. So I will use 7k as my starting point and hopefully hit the track Thursday if my part comes in, which is should.


Here is the post I found on it.

cool thanks, mine gets hre in the mail today, going straight to the track after work so no time to install, but tomorrow i will install and leave diffs at 20,000 and see how it handles, if it does push ill try 7000 or 10000 i guess. will report back on this topic wednesday after testing as well

I have not run the exotek part, but I have the center diff (I'm 5k) and I would think that a locked in front drive would want to push even more than the C-Diff so I would start with the C-Diff recommended 7k to 5k fluid or somewhere in that ballpark.

i did the write up on rc soup about the exotek clutch. right now im running 30k in the front, what i was running before i put the clutch on. on a dry track that combo works well for me but may push for others.

ive only run the truck with the exotek on a very dry track. last night how ever for the mains the track held some water and i think the truck was pushing a bit.

for now im leaving in the 30k in the front and im gonna try lighter sway bar.

i suggest that you just try it with your current set up. if you start changing things cause someone said to and the truck acts funny you wont know what made the truck that way. one thing at a time.

good luck.

I've been running the exotek inner hub for awhile now, I'm going set my sc10 at blue springs front with red springs rear, yellow swaybar front and blue rear, 5k kyosho grease rear diff and a mixture of 1/3 5k grease with 15k 2/3 kyosho grease front diff......And 32.5k front shocks and 27.5 rear shocks....... Hopefully I'll get to test this setup soon at my local track......

+1 I will just install and try it first. Then change fluid. I'm guessing I'm gonna have to change tho, my track is trcr, tight and technical indoor clay.

i was thinking about trying to the exotek locker inside and was thinking 10k in the front and 7k in the rear, with the vts4 ft clutch outside.

but i do like the HT pad on the inside with the ft slipper with slipper locked down then backed off a full turn to a turn and a half.

basically running it with 3mm showing of threads. aint ate a single idler gear yet either (knocks on desk)

hey guys,
I have a question. I just picked up 2 used sc10 4x4's. One a regular and one a factory team. I am going to sell the rollers, but want to take out the servo's. How difficult is it to do? No instructions came with them. Just thought I would ask before I start tearing into them.....lol

With a hand drill I can do it in 10 mins, by hand 15-20. I will try and write it up on how to do it.... Give me a few mins

Remove the 4 screws left/right side that mount the front top plate to the bottom chassis plate, its the piece that the servo sits under shown in pic:

Next remove the two screws that hold the servo in place followed by the screw that either holds the bodymount for the undertray or the FT brace.

Then remove the screw that bolts the top plate to the diff.

Optional but gives you more room to move the top plate, remove the two screws of the front gear box, then remove the front pulley in order to slide the belt off.

Once that is done you can basically slide out the top plate and the servo will be left sitting there with the side tabs mounted and the servo horn attached to the steering assembly. Disassemble those parts and your servo is free........

7000, Front, 5000 rear, should be great, I run front saddles and front weight and it's perfect.

Practicing it's really nice and seems fast, it's the LAST mod I'm doing on this track if it's not competitive come race day tho.

Sorry i could not post before

I have already tried putting them in under the sun gear but it means the pin holding them in doesnt go in properly
