Many thanks once again! Do you have the bearing size by any chance? I'm assuming a rubber sealed item will do? On the subject of bearings, and gears, is it a good idea to lightly coat them with something like diff grease (silicone)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered two, one of which is for my SC10 belt pulley, the other spare. Re fluids, I think I have everything covered here? Grateful of your thoughts: ALPHA SILICONE SHOCK OIL - 450 CPS (60CC) - Front shocks ALPHA SILICONE SHOCK OIL - 500 CPS (60CC) - Rear shocks PREMIUM BLACK GREASE (8CC) - General bearing lubrication HOBBYTECH - SILICONE DIFFERENTIAL OIL - 5000CPS (70ML) - Front and rear diffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ask as you mentioned earlier 5k in both diffs, possibly going to 10k when you rebuild? Pics, of course! It would be rude not too 👍 Edited February 23, 2021 by Rebel158 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point! I did mention potential leakage to him as I know the diff/gearbox housing is not stictly speaking 'sealed', and he did say to check that the casing fit flush, and that it might require some light filing and a coat of black grease at the seams for good measure.

Just double checked, I am running 350 front shocks and 400 rear, so opposite to what Darren suggests, may try it his way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a complete novice at this... When we spoke he said always use the higher viscosity in the front and lower at the rear, for both shocks and diffs as it aids handling, power delivery, and traction. I also mentioned that some people were running say 5k in both diffs, and in sme cases around 7k to 10k, and he thought this was too high, and suggested 3k in the rear diff and 5k in the front. I asked if 3k was too thin and he said no, he had run as low as 1k with no issues, but the 3k/5k split was a good all rounder for these models. I'm going to give his numbers a shot, and I probably won't know/notice the difference. I don't race after all, nor do I drive particularly well, so the precision might be wasted on me 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren knows his stuff, so his settings will be far better than mine, perhaps I need to change mine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slightly larger than the 3s that you linked to, earlier in the thread, and with a higher C rating. Not sure if that's necessary with these little beasts? https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-nano-tech-2200mah-3s-45-90c-lipo-pack.html I'm also considering this 2s, again slightly higher C rating. https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-nano-tech-2250mah-2s-65-130c-lipo-pack.html Edited February 23, 2021 by Rebel158 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel158 Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 (edited) Oooh, one further question. The kit version I'm going for comes with a Hobbywing 60a esc. Does anyone know which battery connector is fitted as standard to the esc? The battery packs I'm going for have XT60 connections, so I may need to chop the esc connectors and fit a male XT60...

Not sure, I think they may come with a deans, but can’t be certain, I use XT60 and bought my ESC separately, and soldered them on, worth getting anyway, always handy to have some 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look forward to seeing yours👍 This will be my first kit, and 'from scratch' build. I've learnt a lot stripping down the SC10 but have long wanted to build a proper kit. I'll definitely get some pics up once complete. When that is I have no idea... Darren advises me that he has a consignment currently stuck in customs... So until then, I'll have my nose pressed against the window waiting 😏 Edited February 23, 2021 by Rebel158 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bertberr Posted November 27, 2021 Author Share Posted November 27, 2021 No mate, bought the HBX 16890 truggy in the end. Bit smaller but for a skate park basher, it's been ideal. May get a 1/14 LC in future, but have too much on the go outside RC at present 😥 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
