Didn't you mention that you have 5k oil in both diffs? Maybe 10k in the front diff. would help pull it around the corners better than it's doing now with 5k in both?

Also what's your camber on the front? Maybe try -1 or 0 camber on the front.

It looks nice, I was going to buy it but I needed my saddle conversion quickly and that is still a pre order.

I guess I went above and beyond with my clutch basket and three garodiscs, but I won my last two club races since I installed them. I might as well leave them the way they are now.

1:8 scale wheels mounted on SC10 4x4

AKA was having a holiday sale, so I had some fun. Unfortunately, I found out that the SC10 is SAE and parts are not directly compatible. Had to modify the adapters, trim the pins, add some washers and inverse the axle nuts to get it to work.

2X AKA SC10 1:8 Wheel Adapters (Rear Only Kit) Part Number 33007

2X AKA 1:8 SC CITYBLOCK Super Soft Pre-Mounted (Pro-5) (one pair) Part Number 14002VPP

It's okay, but I'm not crazy about where it puts the weight (on the outside of the chassis). I prefer to put the weight closer to the centerline of the chassis.

I retract what I said earlier. Mantis has already accounted for what I was concerned about if you order three discs. My apologies to anyone offended.

If it were my truck and pushed center-off, I'd unscrew the front shock eyelets one turn and see if it helps. If it does, I'd keep adding downtravel 1/2 a turn at a time till it stopped getting better.

I'm about to order all the parts for the B44 saddle conversion. Is this the best way to go right now?

You may try this and call me crazy, but once you can easily pop on and off those CVAs. This is literally a 5 minute diff removal. And you don't have parts strung out all over. Only 4 pieces. or "chunks" I should say. Lemme know if you guys have questions.

I got lazy and didn't want to do a video. Mostly because I have no one to hold the Cellphone Camera.

Thanks for posting this!!

If you need your parts quickly then yes.
Or if you dont feel like waiting for the pre order's to come in.

On power; like I said, I have to power off completely to break the back end out right now in order to maintain the tight line. It's the only way for me to get around without a much larger sloooooooooow turn.

Anybody using the B44.1 saddle pack mounts with the exotek chassis. Looking for a good way to mount them (inline). Seems the holes for the exotek saddle mounts are just out a little too far to use, and don't make it easy to drill new holes.
