Thanks. There is only three times that I go in-depth on cleaning my RCs. One, if I've ran it in the mud. Two, if it's going to be a shelf queen. Three, getting ready to sell. It's not going to be a shelf queen, and the truck has, years ago, only ever seen mud once in it's life... It's more...

All done...

Did Associated go overboard on the VTS slipper with it's three pads?... Moving on to the shocks, and we'll get this SC10.2FT put back together.

I gotta get back at it. Spent all day doing nothing but thinking about what SCT electronics to buy. I was hoping to have the SC10.2FT all done; put back together, all shined up, and ready to go.

I'm saving the best for last... ball diff refresh/rebuild, and shocks.

My SC10.2FT earlier this month... Slowly tearing down the SC10 for a once over. Getting in all the nooks and crannies. Will the cleaning/rebuild be enough to rekindle my feelings for 2wd SCTs?

Well, it's almost back to the same condition it was when I first got her. I think I had it long enough. Is there a FOR SALE section around these parts? ;)

Getting it back together slowly...

Working on the front end, I noticed a bit of side to side slop on the axle. The aluminum hex adapter fits over the axle pin and bottoms out. I took a shim from the outside of the axle and moved it to the inside/behind the bearings. It helped take out the side to side play. Never noticed the...

I'm so glad the newer stuff come with screws to secure the shock pistons. Well, not all newer RCs get that treatment. The Associated "small bore" shocks always worked great. Probably why I never bothered to upgrade them, but them e-clips sure do make things a bit difficult at times. I started...

Doing a complete tear down/rebuild.

If wanting to keep your gear diff up and running on a SC10, there are some components that will fit the bill...

Don't know what happened to original photos but...

After snapping a ball stud in the u-brace, I've decided it was time to put the HD ball studs to use. The Associated 6277 4-40 ball studs are getting harder to find, and SC10/T4 front shock tower doesn't allow for larger ball studs, I thought I'd save my spares for the front. The base...

Been putting my SC10FT though it's paces on a super rough track lately. Ruts have formed in the track from heavy rain and the track being on a slight grade. All I can say is, I'm thankful for the RPM bumpers doing their job well. The truck was bought used a couple of years ago, and it had a...
