SC10 Front Sway Bar Mod

See Video

Adding a front sway bar to your SC10 can add stability and rigidity to the front of the truck making it easier to drive. If you run on a low traction and smooth surface, you can add more traction in turns with a front sway bar.

Tuning Toe-in and Camber on the SC10

For those new to RC, "toe-in" refers to the horizontal angle of the wheels. If the front side of your tires are pointed in towards the chassis, then you have "toe-in". If they are pointed away from the chassis, you have "toe-out".

This picture from CompetitionX.com is a great illustration of toe-in/toe-out:

SC18 Tuning Spring Kit

The SC18 doesn't have many tuning options out of the box. The only thing you can change about the suspension is the amount of pre-load by adding or subtracting spacers from the shock body. This will change the ride height and have some effect on handling, but if you want to make big changes you will need to change the shock springs.

To change the springs on your SC18, you will need the Factory Team 1:18 Scale Tuning Spring Kit. This kit will give you two additional tuning options for the front and rear springs on your SC18.

RC Cheat Sheets iPhone App from Team Associated

Team Associated has come out with the RC Cheat Sheets iPhone App, their second iPhone application. The RC Cheat Sheets App is a comprehensive reference guide for every Team Associated car and truck. The app has tuning guides, various calculators, a lap counter, and unit conversion tools.

I went to buy it from the App store on my iPhone, but at $2.99 I had to think again. The reviews in the App store are all pretty good, praising the app for having tons of information and being extremely useful. I think I'll wait to see if it comes down a bit and then check it out.

HPI Baja 5SC RTR

I was surfing the internet the other day and I came across the HPI Baja 5SC RTR. This thing is an absolute monster. The Baja 5SC is a 1:5 scale, gas power short course truck. This is as close as you are going to get to a short course truck without going to a Lucas Oil Off-Road Racing Series event.

Everything about the Baja 5SC is heavy duty - even the price!

Team Associated SC10 4x4 Kit Coming Soon!

Team Associated has announced the release of the SC10 4x4! According to the A-Main Hobbies website, the SC10 4x4 will be available late March 2011.

The 4x4 Short Course Class has become a popular and competitive class at local tracks and now Team Associated has a truck that any hardcore racer will be excited about.

The Team Associated SC10 4x4 is built "with a clean sheet of paper" which means it features an innovative design that isn't based on any other Team Associated truck.
