SC10 breakages/wear and tear
 

How long have you had your SC10, and what have you broken or worn out?

Just looking at what to get, spares-wise other than hubs/wishbones etc.

Ive had mine since it was out

bashed the crap out of it and the only thing ive broke is a set of rear wheels as the nuts are to large and dont hold the wheel on

fit blue ft b4 nuts on the rear and it should be fine

Worn a set of tyres out - that's it so far :-)

a few wishbones from hitting the upslope of a double at full speed :cry:

a bulkhead, although I didn't personally break it. I had to donate the one I removed from my sc10 when I fitted the alu one.

the middles of rear wheels lol

i have broken 2 front wishbones ( hitting stationary objects though at warp speed , so anything would of broken :-) ) but being smashed all over the track by other people has resulted in a broken bulkhead and one front hub, worn a 2 sets of rears tyres out , thats it i think

2 front wishbones, 1 shock cap and mounting screw, 1 diff rebuild kit, 3 rear wheels, 1 pair of rear tyres, 1 bodyshell.

This car has had one hell of a lot of abuse over the last 6 months and has proved to be pretty tough, though the rear wheels and the diff are a bit of a let down.

oh yeah. I've also blown 3 (or 4 I forget) idler gears lol

I made up some longer drive pins from some spring steel found in a model shop, they're about 4mm longer than stock which helps prevent the wheels from stripping out ..... :thumbsup:

What's the maximum length can the rear drive pins be? I might have some that will do the job.

Anyone want to test them if I do? :confused:

G

ill test em G

max length is 11.5mm

Thanks guys, keep them coming.

Encouraging to hear that its nothing too major breaking.

When you guys muller a wheel, do you get the AE pre-glueds and slap them on, or build some new ones up yourself with other brand wheels (JConcepts maybe?). I'm very lazy. :lol:

'sticks hand in air' ME! ME! ME! ME! :lol:

havent really had much chance to try and demolish mine yet, although it has been off my house roof :blush: and landed to flat on the rear bumper :woot:

Im suprised it just unmeshed the motor and didnt send the motor through the spur gear :lol:
Ive been running it with a 5.5 lately and it's just insaneee! It easily out drags cars on my street:thumbsup:

Sorry to sound like stampy :blush:

Mark beat you too it :p

I've got a set of those new Proline Bead-lock wheels and they seem pretty good, certainly look pimp anyway :lol:

Right then, no more stickers for you... 'turns and walks away' :p

:cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:

I have been trying my hardest to resist spending any more money but I am tempted by a set of red bead-locks

All ive dont to mine is a front arm,and thats from hitting a metal goal post...even the tyres are standing up well...

Thats something I've noticed, a good 4-5 runs on tarmac, driving 'enthusiastically'...:lol: and the tyres are still looking good, no signs of blisters or worn tread like you'd get with buggy tyres, yet still ''good'' grip (i.e massive sideways moments).

:D
