Interesting. I'll have to try that out and play more with my EPs / Nuetral position. This is all new to me with a dig but the principle is the same for setting EPs. Thanks, I'll play around and see if I can get it to perform a bit better. | |

With all of that being said. For me personally, I do not get any real benefit from 2WD that I can see to worry about it. I was more tinkering to see that I could setup and get the 3P to work. It does but just not under load for me. I'll probably just stick with the 2P as that works flawlessly for me even under load. | |

| Re: SCX10-III: Things to know before you build yours (Tips) No luck as honestly the free wheel did not do anything for me and my style of driving. I could not get it to work reliably and since I did not find any use for it I just set it to a 2P switch and that works great for me! |

| Question = Spring pre-load
I finished reading this entire thread after I built my car and fortunately found many of the issues mentioned here on Youtube build and review videos. Unfortunately, I did crush 1 e-clip while assembling the shocks, so my first run was with rubber bands holding up the right rear axle. On the plus side, I now have 9 spares after ordering a set from Horizon. I did manage to get the springs reversed (Red-F, Gr-R), thanks to Harley, since there is no mention of which colors go where in the manual. Aside from that, no real issues during the build. Anyway, to my question. How do you determine the correct pre-load on the springs? All the way up, down, halfway. |

How wide are the bumper mounts? Will a trx-4 bumper fit without too much modification? Lou |

These springs were fairly soft so I had mine adjusted almost halfway down the tube to achieve the above and sit level without the Carolina squat. | |

| Re: SCX10-III: Things to know before you build yours (Tips) I did notice a flat edge and a semi-beveled edge on the gears. I didn't have to put any shims at all. I pointed the beveled part away from the trans case to the inner gears. I wonder if that is the issue because as you know there isn't anything in the builder manual that states that. |

When building, take note of the transmission options to limit 2W-4W shifting and to enable DIG. There are little plastic tubes (washers), these spacers will stop the movement of the shifters. See photos: Last edited by Greyfoxvt; 05-05-2020 at 03:12 PM. |

| Shock mounting positions
Pardon my stupidity but I'm going over the manual before receiving my kit I came across something I'd like to clarify... Reference Images to the stock manual: https://imgur.com/a/FmSEqrh On page 34 for the front bottom mount shows the shock to be installed on the inner section of axle while on page 42 (not as clear) it shows it's mounted on the outter secion. Same for rear (page 35) it shows to mount on inner section on axle but on page 37, it shows it's installed on the outter. Where does it actually want me to install it? Again, I don't have the kit yet (stupid backorder) but just wanted to do a once-over with the manual... Thanks, guys! |

Thanks guys, that's what I was figuring. I've seen enough of these crawler kits to notice that but just wanted to be sure! Never would I have thought I'd scrutinize a manual...hahah!

| Re: Shock mounting positions I built mine to the manual positions at first (shocks inside, links outside). The front tires hit the links during steering, so i read through here and realized i had to swap them.

Rich Trujillo and others, So what’s the purpose of using the composite material for the shock mounts? IMO the plastic would be as good, pat least you can thread it with out tapping the hole. Tapping the hole removes more material and becomes weak when tightening the shock mounts. |

The fiber make a much stronger part, that won’t shear and bend. I love it’s strength vs the old axial pasta! Hang up and Drive |

mikemcE I agree that the material is stronger, but when it’s stripped out like the plastic it’s no better. I guess when that happens you mix up some epoxy, fill the hole drill and retap. |
