:: Tuning Tips (cont.)
Shock Piston and Fluid:
The SC10 GT shocks are built with our 2 hole, #1 pistons in the front shocks, and #3 pistons in the rear shocks.
All pistons have a number molded on it.
As a rule of thumb, larger hole pistons decrease damping which can help the truck in bumpy and low-grip situations.
On smoother tracks, or for large jumps, you may want use a smaller hole piston which will increase damping and take
away some grip. [#1 large hole, #2 medium hole, #3 small hole]
Typically, your SC10 GT shocks will work best with shock fluid rates between 25 and 35 wt (275 - 425 CST).
Use the thicker fluids in the range when changing to larger hole pistons, and also use the thinner weight fluids when
changing to a smaller hole pistons.
Rear Hub Spacing:
There are three options for rear hub spacing, FORWARD, MIDDLE, & BACK. The kit setting provides the best possible
rear traction. The FORWARD position will provide more rear traction for low grip tracks. The BACK position will provide
more steering on high grip tracks.
Ride Height:
Ride height is the distance from the ground to the bottom of the chassis. The standard front ride height setting is with
the front arms level (referred to as “arms level”). The standard rear ride height setting is when the outdrive, driveshaft,
and axles all are on the same imaginary horizontal line (referred to as “bones level”). Check the ride height by lifting the
car about 8-12 inches off a table and drop it level. After the suspension “settles” into place, add or remove pre-load clips
on the shock bodies so that the left and right arms appear to be parallel. For precise ride height measurements, use
the Factory Team ride height gauge #1449.
Anti-Squat:
Anti-squat denotes the angle of the rear arms relative to the ground. The kit setting is 2 degrees, and can be adjust to
1 degree by removing the included shim above the rear arm mount and replacing it below the rear arm mount.
Changing to less anti-squat tends to make the truck produce more rear traction and less steering in the corners.
Optional Large Fuel Tank:
The SC10GT has a unique radio tray that allows you to install a
larger fuel tank (# 89324) for longer run times. Simply removing
the radio tray insert, and install the optional fuel tank (not included)
over the molded posts on the radio tray with red O-rings (#5407)
for vibration dampening.

Setup Sheets:
Most often, the best way to get your car handling right is to go to our website www.rc10.com and click on the links to
Setup Sheets, then SC10 GT setups. Our team of professional drivers help develop these setups at National events.
Also, most drivers have a “base” setup that they use as a starting point for every event. Try running some of our base
setups OR look for track conditions and tires that are similar to your local track and mimic that setup.
Remember, each adjustment has a purpose, so copy everything from the setup sheet and then make adjustments
based on the recommendations in here and in our online tuning guide.

Rear Camber:
A good starting point for the rear camber setting is -1°. In loose track conditions, going to 0° camber can improve
straight-line acceleration.
