- If you saw my last video with the Axial SMT10, I bashed it around a bit to find any remaining weak points or things I wanted to change. I found a few, mostly in the suspension, so I decided to completely overhaul the SMT10s suspension. Proline powerstroke shocks, Incision links, 3d printed parts, this was almost an entire rebuild of the truck. Stay tuned for some running footage with the new setup soon!!
Hope you Enjoy the Video!!

Excellent Video, Thank You. I am currently building The Raw Builders Kit, and watch your videos for ideas, setups, performance upgrades, etc. Keep up the Excellent Work!
Thanks!! Glad the videos can help!
Nice links, i used the vanquish links on my scx10.2! Great information as always 💪🏾💯
Thank you! They seem great so far!
Awesome bub I need that setup tooo
Thanks!
Looks good Sir!! Just got done building mine and suspension is too stiff for my liking. But then again I shorten my wheel base from 14" to 12.5" 👊🏿😎
Thank you, suspension can be set up a bunch of different ways in these cars. Play around with it and see what you like!
Man it would be awesome if you could do a detailed video just on your swaybar set up I am new to this truck and figuring out how to mount them in different locations is really stumping me
I'll see what I can do to cover that in my next SMT10 video
Great looking truck! The SMT10 is one my favorite RC’s to tinker with. On your rear sway bar, is there enough play in the holes to have the sway bar pass through a tube that would then slide through the mounting plate of the wheelie bar? If that made any sense
Hmm, I'd have to look at that. It's not a tight fit right now, but it's not super loose either, some kinda tubing might work well.
i like the way your shocks are rebounding on the smt 10 what am i doing wrong with out drilling hole in the pistons
🤘🍻🤘
Thank you Thank You THANK YOU for this video all my struggles and hard decision making was just solved with this one video. Did you mention where you got the sway bars from? Don't think I ever saw them go threw a wheely bar before. Looks great! Do you sell those from sway bar brackets by chance?
Thanks! The sway bars and the wheelie bar are from RH designs. I don't sell the front bracket and don't really have plans to just yet but I think I remember seeing another one online somewhere
@@FullThrottleRC ok thanks!! Think I'll place a order now. I've seen the other front bracket your referring to. I'll try to track it down again. Thanks a gain! So glad to see other links like the Crawford ones. I'm so tired of breaking the rod ends. Sometimes they break just running threw the yard without even jumping.
The Sway bar front bracket is now on thingiverse! I have a link to it in the description.
Wow this smt10 getting expensive now. Might as well go for it though. Buy cheap, buy twice! Those proline shocks look super nice, but I agree for the price they should come with some optional pistons.
Mine has steel links with revo rod ends and they do break rod ends every now and then still. Not as easily as my ssd trailing arm rod ends on the previous setup though.
The SMT10, while expensive to get to this point, is still my all time favorite rc. Like anything else, it's easy to splurge and never stop when upgrading. I think getting this truck to its best is worth it just because of how much I love the truck.
I’d like to know where you got all the parts I’d like to know a price on what you roughly spent to upgrade and a list of parts would be awesome. I was kind of in the same place not sure what to do first and the best thanks for the video great job
I got everything from AmainHobbies. Not sure exactly how much I spent on the suspension but I'd guess around $120-150. I used Proline Powerstrokes shocks and the Pro-Spec rear spring set, and the Incision links set for the SMT10
So I see you’re using a button head screw for the swaybar arms.Did you tap a larger hole or did you have a screw that fit?Those soft grub screws are too soft soft lol
I was able to find a screw that fit the same thread. I had to cut it down because it was way too long.
Hello, the front sway bar mount you designed is great. do you have any intensions of selling the item or print file etc?
I'll be putting it up on thingiverse. In the meantime, I believe I saw the files for a similar one online if you wanted to look around instead of waiting
The mount is on Thingiverse Now!! I have a link to it in the description.
@@FullThrottleRC Thanks very much for the pointer,never heard of thingiverse but i am new to this 3d printing stuff.
are you running the stock 14in wheel base with the new links? or you running a 12.5-13 kit?
I'm pretty sure the Incision keep it at stock 14in wheelbase.
What are the dimensions of the custom sway bar mount you built that exactly what I need for my smt10 build
I have the files for it available on thingiverse. Just search "FTRC" and you'll find it.
and how do you bring the suspension back up so tell me if i put this springs on the truck will sit lower ????
There are multiple suspension mounting options and setups for the SMT10. You can move the upper shock mounting position or add preload to your shocks to easily raise the ride height if you like
are you using all proline 6308-22 shock all around from the video look like it ?????
Yep
hello full throttle i bought pro line power stroke rear springs and used the the blue springs and i put them on the xt shocks and put 30 wt oil all round and it will not re bound at all what do think is the problem is i filed your direction could you please help me
Without actually having your truck in front of me it's pretty hard to say. If you built your shocks just like mine as you say and have them mounted in the same locations as mine then the only thing that could cause it to react differently in my opinion would be binding in the suspension components somewhere. I'd recommend taking apart your suspension and cleaning all of the moving parts, making sure all joints move freely and easily that way the suspension can work.
i how much shorter from stock springs from the blue ones are they noticeable ?????
Roughly 1/4" shorter. I haven't had any issues with them
no have know binding but i am not sure i am useing the right oil 30 wt ????
That's the oil I use. If you have no binding anywhere then I'm not sure what the issue could be on your truck. You can always adjust the preload on the springs and see if that gets it to rebound like you'd like.
so ran black spring with yellow on top and and the red springs on the bottom ????
I run the stock yellow top springs and the blue Pro Spec sct springs on the bottom. All around.
???? i have put the shock on the axles and fill shocks with 30 wt oil all round and put the blue springs all round but i did not drill two holes in the piston but the rear shocks do not rebound like i l it what happens if put the green or yellow springs on it ?????
I'm not sure if the green or yellow springs are stiffer than the blue ones. If they are, try it out, it sounds like you need a stiffer spring or more preload
👍🏽🐒🇺🇸
what if i use 10 wt oil will that be better for rebound
Not necessarily. The oil is to help dampen the shock action under compression. And while it does also dampen or slow down the rebound, the springs are what makes the shock rebound. If you want faster or more rebound, add some preload or use stiffer springs.
i was told that truck will sit lower is that true ???? will it make difference
It can make the truck sit 1/4" lower depending on how your suspension is set up. But there are many adjustments you can make to the suspension to bring the ride height back up
HELLO THERE ARE YOU USEING PRO6308-22 REAR ???? OR USEING PRO 6308-21 FRONT ???? DO YOU SEE A DIFFERNCE IN THE STOCKS FROM STOCK TO THE PROLINE SHOCKS ????? USEING THE YELLOW ON TOP AND BLUE ON THE BOTTOM
I run the rear proline springs, 6308-22. The fronts would be too short. And yes I felt like the ProSpec shocks on the bottom was more of the feel I wanted.
So you don't need sway bars anymore?
Yes I still run sway bars. These trucks absolutely need sway bars, front and rear.
YOU SAID THAT YOU USE THE BLUE SPRINGS ALL ROUND WITH 10 WT OIL ALL ROUND AND YOU MOUTED THE SPRINGS ON THE AXLES IS THAT RIGHT ?????
I don't quite remember if I used 10wt oil or 30wt oil but besides that everything you stated is correct yes.
HELLO FULL THROTTLE WHAT KIND OF MOTER AND PINON ARE YOU RUNNING ???????
Check out this video for more information on the current electronics I'm running in my SMT10

Where are you from? That sounds like one of them Cajun accents!
I am from Louisiana! South of Baton Rouge.
@@FullThrottleRC I am from just east of Lake Charles
How long are the Proline Shocks?
These are the 5 inch powerstrokes
@@FullThrottleRC How do they compare in length to the orignal shocks? I'm not home right now,but 5 inches seems crazy long?
@@Jason1Pa The stock shocks are 125mm which is really close but not exactly 5 inches
@@FullThrottleRC ok thanks a lot
Can you make a tutorial on how to lower an rc?
Lower? There's a bunch of different ways to lower an rc. Shorter shocks, less preload, etc. It all depends on your setup
Oh ok thx
hello there full trottlle the shock springs pro 630822 i spoke amain hobbies thay told me that this shocks are to short and there are not the right shocks for xt 5' ????
I run the factory Powerstroke upper spring with those springs you mentioned on the bottom. I do believe they are a little shorter than the original bottom springs but not much.
I PUT 30 WT OIL IN THE SHOCKS AND MOUNT THE SHOCKS TO THE AXLES I DID DRILL ANY HOLE IN THE PSTONS THE TRUCK IS NOT REBOUNDING LIKE YOUR TRUCK ??????
Have you checked to make sure you don't have any binding in the suspension anywhere? Links, axle, chassis?
