| ![]() right now the track i run starts out damp and holds the truck very well fast lap times down in the 23.9 to 24.2 time wise running proline bowties up front and aka wishbones in the back handles great but bye the time the main gets here the track has dried up and they dont water it between races so its not consistent alot what are some tire suggestions as i am on a budget and cant go buy every tire and just try and see what works heres a couple of pics of the track the best i can get on a phone ![]() ![]() ![]() |

| ![]() And snooping around the faster guys' trucks to see what they're doing throughout the night can even be cheaper than tuning. |

| ![]() Sooo...ask. Us. Them. Preferably them, since they'll know better than we do and can help you on the spot. Do some reading, tons of literature on racecar setup out there. Should be a brief setup guide in the back of your SC10 manual. |

| ![]() Can you turn your motor down mid race. See if any are running beams. |

| ![]() One of the tracks I race locally is simular I always had luck with bow ties in front and city blocks in rear. But once the pins on city blocks are gone might aswell throw them away so it get expencive. Started running double d's with better luck. Also for that track the chris alterbery setup is a good start point. |

| ![]() If it is clay and not dry enough to get dusty, I say Jconcepts barcode (golds) front and rear. With as rough as the track looks in your pics and depending on the ambient temp, I say run shock oil on the thinner side. Tires are 90% of the tuning on an SC10, Ask around at the track...Pit next to some of the faster guys......be friendly......ask questions and pay attention to what they are Talking about. I have learned more doing this week to week than I could read any place else. |

| ![]() Get a wheel with as much offset as will fit in the truck body. I tried a slash rear wheel on mine and it was amazing the traction it had. I have a wheel now that has a lot of offset and my wheelbase width is around 11 3/4", I think standard is 11". The slash wheels push it to 12" easily. You can get everything you want with the right wheels. Some guys run the slash fronts all the way around. I do not know how they fit it inside the body? |

| ![]() Depending if it is dirt / clay track. I run Beams all around. Some like a Beam / Megabite combo as well. I can only speak of what works well at the track we race at. Have you tried to move the battery all the way back to put more weight on the rear end ? Also on the rear axlie carrier, there are 2 small rings, try to shorten up your wheel base as well. The shock oil set up I use is... 35 in fron and 30 wt oil in rear. |

| ![]() Theres your problem, a soft front end. Use Ron A's setup on oil. Yes, I meant wheel track, that is why I said width. I promise you a wider rear wheel(more offset) will fix it immediately. Also make sure your springs are stronger in the front. |

| ![]() Most importantly *when* is your truck getting loose - entering a corner? Exiting a corner? On a straight? The "when" is just as if not more important than the "what." Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

| ![]() Found two links on this page, but one link just opens up a mostly blank page. Team Associated SC10 Setup Sheets Here is one Chris Attebery set-up, don't know if it's the one you're looking for. http://www.petitrc.com/setup/associa...es20101009.pdf Last edited by Eric0424; 01-31-2013 at 01:20 AM. |
