Scx10 II = Wow! (Plus SSD DIY hex bolt tool)
 

So I picked up a new II so I could accompany my son with the scx10 v1. I put some Pitbull Growlers & SSD D Hole stamped beadlocks on and pushed the front and rear bumpers in a bit for better approach angle, that's it. I'm super impressed! Even the electronics mated to this chassis are great running 3s. Torque is good, steering is usable. I'll definitely be on the lookout for some OD gears for the front axle, knuckles to provide a little more steering, and I'll be putting in a better servo and HH 35t handwound I have lying around. I'm just so impressed right out of the box! It doesn't roll in situations where the scx10 v1 always does and I just made a climb that I couldn't make with the bomber wearing 2.2 Rock Beast II rubber.

I finally love a 1.9 rig!!

So stable and so fun!

My one gripe is that the wheelbase looks about 1/4" too short for the body. It also would have been nice if The door handles had come installed. :-).

on a side note: I didn't know to order the tool for the hex bolts on the SSD wheels but I'm glad I didn't! After a quick search it seems people have had nothing but problems with the bolts heads rounding when trying to tighten.

1) After another search I picked through my bowl of m3 screws, found one that fit nice and snug, applied a little red loctite on and around the outside of a nylon lock nut and inserted it into an extra axial "t" wrench.

Result..... The perfect m2 hex bold driver!

I loosened all the bolts half way, added some loctite, tightened everything down snug. No drama, no rounded bolts.

Them rims look super cool on that rig....

Re: Scx10 II = Wow! (Plus SSD DIY hex bolt tool)
 

Ok, so I got a little carried away last night on RPP, not everything ordered is for this rig but I definitely have a few nice additions coming........

Guess that means it's either going to be great, or it's going to go up in flames...

Re: Scx10 II = Wow! (Plus SSD DIY hex bolt tool)
 

Lol, I suppose so.... I'm hoping for option one!

Re: Scx10 II = Wow! (Plus SSD DIY hex bolt tool)
 

These showed up in the mail today...........

That's a damn clever idea for the 2mm wrench!!

Thank you both, I've replaced the socket head screw once, swapped to a button head, its been perfect, not stripping a single head on 3 sets of wheels.

I got all the electronics wired up yesterday, I didn't post a pic but I'm running a Holmes BLE Pro esc. geared 64/9.
It's stuttering under load at low speeds. I've tried all different start power settings, timing 0-10, SMART SENSE, sensored only, and 13-24 frequently. There are two things that make a slight improvement, lower voltage battery (3s), and lower frequency (13). I've tried 4s and 6s lipos, stuttering increases slightly with each voltage increase. I've also swapped sensor cables, no change. I unplugged the sensor cable, motor then cogged rather than stuttering.
Hoping to hear back from Holmes Hobbies on this ASAP.

In the limited driving I did I'm quickly coming to the conclusion that the RC4WD Falken Wildpeak tires are garbage! lol. Well thats a little harsh, they're garbage in loose dirt, that was to be expected though. I just wanted to try a taller 1.9 tire, these are 4.82" tall. I'm going to give them a little more time, I highly doubt they'll be my go to tire but might work for something, haven't figured out what that "something" is yet....

Maybe post a vid of the studdering? It could be a grub screw catching, or you might just be noticing the most subtle startup hesitation with our firmware.

Re: Scx10 II = Wow! (Plus SSD DIY hex bolt tool)
 

I'll get a video this evening. I'll also check the drivetrain for binding/catching.

Very difficult to capture, this is the best I was able to get. the stuttering is not at the slowest throttle input, it's right past minimum throttle input. I have another BLE Pro NIP, I'm going to try that next....
EDIT: it also seems to stutter some when rolling downhill using drag brake.

Re: Scx10 II = Wow! (Plus SSD DIY hex bolt tool)
 

Ok, so I am an unhappy camper! SHV500 servo had a glitch fit and died, took my receiver with it. I've tried two esc's, two Rx's and no solution found, plus a brand new servo dead along with a receiver.

Could it have been the servo? That seems unlikely, I tried with the servo unhooked previously....
Could the motor have a bad sensor board? Could a bad sensor board in the motor create interference causing the servo and Esc to glitch? Could interfere cause a servo to fail?

Pro4/MMP comparison.

Re: Scx10 II = Wow! (Plus SSD DIY hex bolt tool)
 

No real input on the issue, however what rear bumper is that. Do you have photo's of it with the body on?

Re: Scx10 II = Wow! (Plus SSD DIY hex bolt tool)
 

Patience...... :-) Patience, all your questions will be answered.

I'll have to check and see if I have a part # for the bumper, I will also post some pictures of the truck with the body installed in the near future.

Re: Scx10 II = Wow! (Plus SSD DIY hex bolt tool)
 

I can see some jittering in the first vid. Since you swapped out both ESC and motor for the second vid, we can't determine whether motor or ESC is the root. Since the BLE firmware is based on the MMP, it would lead me to believe the Puller sensor board may have a sensor that isn't triggering proper.

I know you have an email in with customer support right now in regards to the throttle jitters. Let them know about the servo and we will see what can be done for you.

Re: Scx10 II = Wow! (Plus SSD DIY hex bolt tool)
 

Would you suggest I try the MMP with the Puller Pro motor and the BLE Pro esc with the Pro4 motor (I've only run the Puller Pro motor with two BLE esc's and the pro 4 with the MMP esc), or just proceed with Customer Support on swapping the Puller and Servo? I'm definitely learning towards the motor being the cause, I've tried two BLE Pro esc's, both brand new, both netted identical stuttering.

I'm running pretty much that exact same set up only difference is I don't have a stubby... I'm using a venom 5000 mah 11.1v 3s 20c and it runs smooth like butter

I have the exact same setup. It's good on 3s, but lacks wheel speed on 2s. I'm going to gear it up a bit for more power and wheel speed.

I got it geared 56/9t wheels speed is walking speed @ best. hill climbs no ,crawling YES!

i had a similar problem with my stubby motor. when i installed the electronics i forgot to calibrate my esc. ounce i did that everything worked fine. im running mmp esc.

Re: Scx10 II = Wow! (Plus SSD DIY hex bolt tool)
 

I've calibrated my Esc, two esc's in fact. Thanks for the input, every idea helps!

Re: Scx10 II = Wow! (Plus SSD DIY hex bolt tool)
 

No problem, good luck!
