If it fits the SC10 it will also fit the SC104X4, I run both and use the same body for practice.

Went and raced outdoors today. Track was w/o water all day and was basically a rutted dust bowl. I got my ace handed to me by 3 Losi's.
I couldn't put the power down for nothing. Everytime I turned I thought the back-end was going to come around.
Tried everything, pulleys, pins, current limiting, loose as heck slipper. Couldn't make it work for nothing.
Drove my bud's Losi for a bit and could tell the massive difference in these conditions. His truck put the power down real nice and was very predictable.
I was down 2 laps after 10mins. Not good.
Thanks goodness we don't run on that track very often, if we did I wouldn't have bought the Ae anyways. We mainly run indoors, where I normally clean up and AE rules....
Being on this side of an ace-whoopin ain't too much fun. I did manage a 3rd place, only because one of the Losis (my bud
) hit LVC......
Does anybody run in these conditions w/ success?

What tires? also remember that a tire that works great on a losi might not be ideal on a sc10.
In those conditions i use enduro's and softer oils/springs.

No belt issues as yet.
Raced my new 4x4 last night @ the sct stampede held at keilor.
What an awesome truck. it hooks up nicely with calibres , flo-tek body works a treat and the Castle sidewinder SCT 3800kv combo has heaps of torque.
First run and took out 3rd place. awesome !
Dont wanna race my 2wd SC10RS anymore, lol

Drove Zixxer's SC10 4x4 today.
Thing was DIALED. So fast.
So, time to order a SC10 4x4 for myself.
Here's what I'm planning on getting:
SC10 4x4 Kit
Tekin RX8
Tekin SC4x 4.5 or 5.5
Hitec 7955-TG
Spektrum SR300
Few sets of tires (Subcultures, Goosebumps, Double Dees, Barcodes)
I plan on getting the HD slipper pads after talking to some people, and reading this thread.

I had a similar situation yesterday...my truck is set up for high bite indoor clay track & I ran on a loose outdoor track. I didnt have much time to change things but I did go back to blue springs in the rear & I wanted to go to 1.3 pistons from the 1.2 but didn't have enough time. Tires is also a huge tuning option. Gridirons would have been best but all I had was cityblocks...they were good enough, I would have won with gridirons. Lastly I think the exotec chassis would be awesome on a outdoor track, making the weight as low as possible.

Hey Veg, what tires were you running? I have been running on a large 1/8 track that is slightly blow out, and it gets dusty. I have found that bowfighters m3 work better that DD's, holeshots, and enduro's. Also, the duratrax possie in soft compound work well aslo. When the track is damp, the bowfighters are amazing.

Sun going down sooner and sooner! Got off work at my LHS and ran home, threw the truck in the bag, toolbox, run downstairs, grab dog collar to take the pup down to the track, run outside, close door...
Locked the %$@^ out. House and Car key all...
Sat on my toolbox for 3 hours waiting for a friend to come by with a key/ladder/pick/hammer. Eventually Mom came to save the day with her safety key I gave her. What a day... Was going to test out T-Caw's setup he suggested and everything for sunday's raceday at our free-track.
Le' sigh...
