How did the sc10 4x4 do at nationals? That was a loose outdoor 8th scale track. Saw some video of the main, but unsure where AE was in the mix.

Kinwald was 2nd in the B-Main and I noticed that he was not jumping the big jump leading to the back straight.
This truck is fast and can be tuned to drive well. I have mine running very well in light form. Driving skill especially on this track played a big part. Dakotah Pfend is one of the best drivers I have ever witnessed so hat's off to him for the win. His second National title in 4x4SCT.
Even though the AE drivers (Flurer and Kinwald) did not podium I would like to see what they were doing this the chassis set-up.

I have been racing at the parking lot races, not the SC10 4x4, at the Hobbytown in St. Charles, IL. Each year in August they hold a dirt race at Elburn Days in Elburn, IL. They build a good sized dirt track after the tractor and truck pulls. It's Sunday, August 18. It's fun and the track get's really loose with a lot of loose dirt. There is great food and they usual have a good turnout. The registration fees are matched by the store owners and donated to the Lion's Club which organizes and hosts Elburn Days. I haven't run my SC10 4x4 much and need help with setup, 4WD vehicles run better on this surface. But, I would like suggestions. Thanks.

I run the Viper VTX8 in my "other" 4x4 corr truck and have the Tekin RX8 in my SC10 4x4. If I had to guess I'd bet the Viper would fit in the SC10. It's slightly shorter and slightly wider than the RX8. I will say, that as much as I like the RX8, I like the VTX8 much more. I love the ease of programming through the Progauge or EZ Link, it's very smooth, and built for abuse. I kept my SC10 4x4 as a ready to go backup truck but if it were my regular race truck it would absolutely have a VTX8 in it

I run my RX8 on the left side. I didn't want to cut up the fan shroud or the belt tunnel. The fan shroud on the VTX8 is metal and it is too tall to fit under the belt tunnel. It would easily fit with the fan shroud and fan removed, but I personally won't recommend not running the fan. You can ask Nick (Nikos) on Viper's RCTech thread and read what people are saying about their awesome products. I was a Novak guy with my 1/10 escs but put a Viper VTX10R BE in both my T4.1 and SC10 2wd and they are incredible. Their support is among the best and they're very active and involved on this forum.

Any one here tried to Fit the Proline F-150 raptor body on an SC10 4x4? Just measured bought one cut it out when to measure up the posts and wheels are rubbing pretty bad on the front end. its okay when sitting there but with any compression it will hit the lexan and tear my tires to shreds. not to mention it is too short for the bumpers as well.
maybe I'll have to get a Flo-Tek instead as i believe these are fine for clearance even with the + 3mm wheels.
Whats annoying is it says Sc10 on the package, which i believed was the same size body as the 4x4, but apparently not? just checked the Flo-Tek and it says that same thing no mention of Sc10 4x4, just Sc10

A little bit of advice that I learned the hard way racing this weekend. Do not forget the thrust bearing washer!!! Also take your time and don't rush to get ready between heats.
I forgot to install it and managed to ruin a spur gear and shave some aluminum off my exotek front locker and rear ST racing belt tensioner. Thank fully the ESC thermaled before any major damage was done. Didn't even get to finish the 3rd heat.

Not the same one, im talking about this one http://prolineracing.com/bodies/true...vt-clear-body/
I have already cut the wheel arches out some already to give it some more room, but its just a terrible fit.
It's not even long enough to fit both the rear/front bumper with out it bending, I have lifted up the front posts as high as possible.
I have a feeling this was designed with the slash in mind.
