Icer.One's SC10 4x4 Build

Here are the electronics i have waiting for my SC10 4x4 and some tires and wheels hopefully it gets to Jorge's Wednesday so i can start wrenching on it only thing i work Wednesday and Thursday nights so i will have to thrash on Friday and Saturday to hopefully make it Sunday



Hopefully its like my 2 other ae builds (FT RC8Be and FT SC10) those went really smooth

only thing i wont have done is a new body too much work in front of my stuff unless i can get Andrew to do one up for me HINT HINT and when i get some time i will pay him back with a paint job that would be cool... If you're listining Andrew HELLO..... i kinda hear an echo lol just a thought

I'll be posting the build with pics as i go maybe if someone else has one this thread might help

i guess i should have waited till i got the truck but oh well this helps the pain of waiting

Just picked up my sc10 4x4 from Jorge's guess i'll be building it so I can make bobby's on Sunday

(bag A) here is the servo and allinment tool



here is the servo fully installed (Bag a complete)





had to go to work so thats it for now will keep posted

PS good luck if you need to make ANY servo adjustments that thing is so covered and inaccessible
but it is a good fit and all linkage is 1/8 and beefy

Dangit!! ..... I mean nice truck bro Hope it goes smooth. Don't you hate when you get a new toy
and then have to go to work! Just by the looks of that rack I say she's a winner. That truck has belts too no?

yeah its belt driven we'll have to see how well it last but i have a sc18 that is belt driven and its a tuff lil truck it has a 8.5 brushless and i only ripped 1 belt and that was my fault. well i can say this the fit and finish of this truck is very nice so far we'll just have to wait and see on the rest of the truck

I don't know too much about the truck but for you to wait until it came out to join our class tells me something.
Belts are nice because they are quiet and smooth. I know this is your build but didn't Chris C. order one too?
Is Barrack putting it together for him?

i know Chris wanted one for CJ but not sure if he's still gonna get it. i know Aaron from Las Cruces is getting one but not sure who else. Jorge ordered 1 case of them. I've been waiting for this truck for like 18 months i even was thinking of building one my self out of my sc8e kinda glad i waited hopefully this is a good rig we'll just have to see. See you sunday im gonna put a towel over my rig Area 51 skunkworks lol

Wassup fellas! Sorry about not coming sooner, yes was planning on getting one of those babies for Lil C but an opportunity came up for a new bike SO guess what he chose ??? I've been getting that baby together for a race this weekend, its SWEET and the guys at EZ Rider helped out CJ big time with it so I couldn't pass it up. The truck looks really good bobby, maybe CJ can paint it for you since you showed him how? I might have to get one anyways for me That was some funny shisnet, area 51 towel action!

There he is Good to see you on here brother! Congrats on the new bike.
Area 51!!!! That's awesome bobby. Just make sure you make the main
How the truck coming along?

front bumper and head to work. thats it for now i'll get the rear bumper and wheels and tires mounted in the morning when i get off but for now im incarcerated for 12hrs



see ya when i get paroled in 12hrs

Bobby

what i can add is with the steering and camber links is that the manual is backwards if you do as the manual says you have
way too much toe and camber if you do it opposite they are not perfect but alot closer to being right. the fitment if the chassis
is awesome the sections are keyed and fit very good and when bolted together it is very solid i really didnt have any problems
nothing was missing so i really dont have anything bad to say its a great kit and a pleasure to build only sleep and work keep
getting in the way.

oh and associated gives you options to run the front overdrive or the rear underdrive i chose to run
normal 20t clicker and 20t decupler thats why you see i wrote 19 and 20 on the gears

thanks for looking

you didnt fall asleep until like 9 this morning getting sleepy huh

yeah im tired right now thanks for reminding me bud

see you in the morning i'll be up working on it when you get to the house before school

Dad loves you bud

Hey it's lil Bobby M. Good to see you on here bro.

Bobby, Looking good brother, you just about got it going. I'm really digging the beefy arms and turn buckles.
And that clicker is definitely going to help you in the tight turns. Can't wait to see what it'll do on the track

Finally finished




Back at where it originated Jorge's lol. See you at bobby's Sunday
Thanks to all for looking and commenting

Bobby M

Congrats brother That's looks really good bro. If you've been following this post you are definitely want to
see this truck run this Sunday. There should be a least a handful of Short-Course 4x4 trucks that'll be running Ten Minutes
in the main on the same lap so it'll sure be a good race.

Bobby i noticed you have the box tires up front. Are the tires that come in the kit a soft compound tire?

i mounted them up just so i could run on the street for a quick test run the tires are hard as rocks i dont even know why associated puts them in this kit the tires are not that good but for a lil testing i guess they will work. i had Andrew "the 4x4 dr" mount up some calibers and some megagrids for sunday for test and tune and maybe stay on the same lap, maybe.
i will for sure have the area 51 skunkworks towel that might help me a lil bit lol

i weighed the truck today and its 6.5 lbs ready to race battery and all not bad i probably could have made it lighter but i need some weight with all the other 4x4's having aluminum chassis.

Gotcha. I don't remember anyone doing well with a stock sc10 tire back when we
had the tire rule. We'll I have to say extra weight doesn't hurt. Especially when you're
hitting the triple with two other trucks

That's very nice!! Makes me wanna get into that class again.

All you guys have really stepped up your game.

Thanks bobby we'll see tomorrow how well it drives. See you guys there

Let me be the first to say well done brother Just like I said you were gonna figure the truck out in the heats and we'd all be sweating bullets in the main I'm not even going to try to make excuses. You got me brother. Just more motivation to step it up for the Sunday to come.

thanks man i really didnt think the truck was going to be good out of the box to be honest the truck needs quite a bit of tuning it gets a bit squirrely and it feels like the front isnt pulling enough but once i get things sorted out i think its going to be one hell of a truck.

but i do have to say that was a good race one of the better ones ive watched but i might be a lil bias cuz i didnt participate in any of other ones lol

there were a couple where you and Andrew were battling it out and those were good also

hopefully i can make it this sunday i have to work but i can maybe make it a lil late (if Bobby will alow me to register late) i get off at 5 and its close to Bobby's if not i will be there to watch for sure

I don't know man that truck seemed to be on point out of the box and whatever little things you did to it. You said you were fighting it a little,but it didn't seem like it.
All that said, I like the way it looked and drove, so you never know
Great job Bob I said you were the one to look out for.I think things are going to get real interesting these races to come
Great driving to everbody, and to H for putting down 30, I havea new goal.

That truck did seem on point. Well point enough for the marshals too keep their eyes on it and off trucks on their lids It's looks like you're not the only that'll be out there with with a SC104x4.... This isn't exactly
the kinda truck you can pull apart and put together right away. After two heats and a ten minute main, is there
any general advise you can give to someone that's putting this truck together for the first time?
