Add Anti-Squat (Kick-up) to the SC10

If you've read our 6 Tips to Improve Rear Traction, you know that rear traction can be a problem for the stock SC10. The good thing is that the SC10 has tons of steering and you can do a lot of things to tune down the steering and get the back-end hooked up really well.

One of the ways to tune down steering and increase rear traction is by adding "Anti-squat" or "Kick-up" to the rear suspension. Anti-squat can be defined as the angle of the hinge pins to the surface your truck is on. To increase rear traction, you will want to increase the angle of your rear hinge pins.

How to Deal With and Avoid Stripped Screws

If you have a stripped screw on your SC10 you are not alone. Stripped screws are a common problem, especially when using cheap tools provided with a new kit.

First lets talk about what to do if you already have a stripped screw. The best way to get a stripped screw out is to use pliers (needle nose are the best). This process can be very tedious and you can break other parts if you are not careful. The goal here is to just get that screw to turn out enough to get your pliers around the head. If you are unable to get pliers around the screwhead, then we have bigger problems. At this point I would suggest that most people take their truck to their local hobby shop or watch this video - Stripped Screw Head Removal
