- In this video AJ upgrades our Pro4 SC10 with new tires in the hopes it will make this RC a better machine for our uses. Falling short on the unboxing video, mostly due to bad tires and shocks, we hope this upgrade will make this an RC we WANT to take out again and again. Come along and see if it is worth the effort or just a waste of time and money.

Excellent bashing footage
Thanks 👍
Aj just an opinion from a loyal follower and avid rcer for 35yrs, I loved the unscripted like format when you were out in the field with the wife. A more non formal channel to me makes us feel more connected.
Thank you for the input. We all appreciate it.
Great video awesome channel ❤
Thanks so much
Man that thing rips. LOVE IT
I found this really interesting, especially the weight of the wheels how that will effect performance. But having more control definitely compensates thanks AJ
All this truck needs next is a Hobbywing 10bl120 3660 3700kv combo. Reedy AS27152 upgraded servo at 7.4 with MT8 servo horn. Would love to see this truck fully upgraded. Love your content 👍.
I race one with Castle Copperhead 14, 3800kV sensored motor, highest RC all metal servo and its a beast. Breaks a lot of axles though but Traxxas 6851X axles work with a little sanding.
@@MapleNachiman do you up the pinion on 2s
@@MapleNachiman And is that combo a 3652 or 3660 motor as iv considered the hobbywing sensored 3652 4100kv.
@@chrisvda7277you need a 60mm long motor. That’s how long the stock is. You may have to make some mods if you go smaller.
excellent!!!
Proline gladiators would also be a good upgrade.
i run these racing on a rough, dirt loose track and they are money.
if memory serves me correctly for the offsets, the smaller offset is the Losi offset and the larger offset is the Traxxas/everyone else offset.
The stock servo saver in this car I found as a problem, it's to weak for off-road carpet racing. I believe I use some cheap Louise tyres now, but have some Schumacher in spare.
Out of the box is the best sc truck right behind the Tekno.
Cough cough, Senton 4s, cough cough

That's what is cool about this hobby, everyone has their own opinion on every subject, and if it works for them it isn't wrong. Personally, straight out of the box, I lean toward the Losi TT Pro for the best handling and speed. But then that's just my opinion. Thanks for the comment. PS, I love my Tekno as well.
@AJJAMStudios I hear ya bro. I love your channel just your all about Traxxas and are really hard on everyone else.
Not all about Traxxas. I picked a Losi TT Pro, right? We have no actual brand favorites. Each RC is an individual in our eyes. If a Traxxas shines for us, or a Losi, or Arrma, that's just the way it shakes out. We have no love for one brand over another. Keep on bashing.
looks like they ran a tiny bead of superglue outside the tire totally disregarding glueing the main parts of the tire, wow, anyways, upvoted!!
I race my pro4 sc10 on a rough loose dirt track with big jumps...I run proline gladiators and they have been awesome. The weak point for sure is the axles but luckily u can swap in traxxas heavy duty 6851X axles with a little sanding. The Team Associated CVD steel axles are even worse than the stock ones, I've killed 4 sets of them. Also a stronger servo improved handling quite a bit for me.
I started going through axles as well I think it's the cvd axles sticking from the dust. CVDS may be more accurate? But going to try solid axles, which digging the diffs out on this truck is so,so
@maplenachiman, where do you need to sand for fitment?
Hey AJ if you get a hex screw that’s rounded out. What method do you use to get it out. Love your content - great stuff.
I try and get a new wrench in there first to find any grip that may be left. If I find even a little I heat the area a bit and carefully try and work the screw out. I've had to waste parts before that had a grub screw embedded so tightly it was simply easier to get a new one. If the head is exposed, I cut a slot in the top and use a screw driver. Best of luck.
@@AJJAMStudios thanks AJ yeah grub screws always catch me with pinions particularly
Looks like you need some rain
Yep I don’t like when patches on my yard do this I wet it down
How about putting a fan on the motor would that help in the last tense down below 180
Add a heatsink & fan to the motor.
What size tires are they, 1.85 or 2 8's?
1.85
I think the pro4 was aimed more towards a RTR track truck, it ain't got the power to pull as a basher. Handles power well though. I like it
Those bigger ones are 17mm hex
Maybe some fans you could go back to higher gearing , like you said everyone set up differently, I’m bashing in close quarters and mostly cool outside temps so I get away with high gearing , granted June July its hot
Your heavier tires and higher gearing is not only heating your electronics, which, as you said can be fixed by a fan.
The problem with the higher gearing and heavier tires is next the stress you are putting on the drive train.
You will damage your differentials and other drive train components faster with your heavier tires.
Just a word of warning.
Mass = strain. Heavier is always tougher on equipment. Thanks for commenting.
