What is SSC?

@@deltazero3796 shining star chassis

I totally agree! Street racer, offroad racer, 1:8 buggy, monster truck, basher. It’s a great platform!

It’s the greatest upgrade out there for a racer! I’ll promise you that! :)

You have RC’s? Cool!

+Jonathan Herndon you are right, Mark thanked me for my build videos! Such a great pro mod of an awesome rc platform!

Very cool that you could use my video for the build! Thanks, buddy :)

+Jonathan Herndon nice! I will check out the sky rc scales, for sure! Nice to be able to fine tune the weight distribution! Thank you for supporting my channel, I sure do need it :) I'll try to keep them coming!

Kenny Melanko, thanks man! This chassis is amazing and really brings out the best of the Slash :)

First of all, thank you! I plan to share a lot more of how I got to get the Slash to be competitive, but my life situation prevents me from making videos for a while. I’ll be back, but it might still take a while. Look me up on facebook, My name is Andreas Grepstad. I will gladly share what I’ve got on messenger!

Thanks! I really enjoy wrenching, tuning and maintaining my rc cars. It’s just as fun as racing them. I don’t care about the money, for me it’s all about learning, take it all apart and rebuilding. What a great hobby!!

Thanks :) Yes those are the tekno rc m6 drive shafts. It’s expensive but super good! Love that the hub carriers are included and they have more tuning options than stock.

Hi Bryan, no, I haven't had any problems with my spur gear. I run 54t spur and 14t pinion. That is a strange problem, might you have mounted anything wrong? I would disassemble that part and rebuild to see if it helps.

also what are your front guards you have there in front of the shocks ?

+Miguel Ezpinoza, good choice! It's such a fun RC with so many upgrade options, and with the versatile platform, you can rebuild it to be an 8th scale buggy, 10th scale monster truck, rally, speed run car... endless choices :)

You’re welcome friend :)

I’ve done nothing to the wheel width. Just had to lower the truck to be more stable at a high grip carpet track. So less preload on the shocks to make it sit good and low. I guess the bodies I use also helps it look lower. I use proline flotek bodies. Also the proline adjustable body mounts lets me lower the body to the point where it sits low without rubbing the wheels to the body. Hope that helped :)

+Dan Klecha those are the MIP heavy duty axles. They are regarded to be among the strongest available. They've never let me down.

+Miguel Ezpinoza hi man! That is the Flo-Tek Ford F-150 Raptor SVT from Pro-line. It's a nice looking body, for sure :) www.prolineracing.com/bodies/flo-tek-ford-f-150-raptor-svt-clear-body/

+ULTiMATE TRAXXAS MAN, red is the way to go, man :)

Northern Light RC yea it looks real nice

So am I

Thanks buddy! I will upload more racing and training videos soon, for sure. Our new track is super cool!! For club racing at beginner level you don't have to use the Shining Star Chassis to be able to compete. If you address tires, steering bell crank and servo, you will be able to get a lot more control over the truck, especially when turning. I've addressed steering in this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mdOmicaSvbSpno0.html. The Shining star Chassis is a great improvement in terms of letting you have a lot more control over a steady and responsive truck, but I'm being beaten on the track by good drivers in stock slashes ALL THE TIME :) In the end it's all about the driver.

I actually did the hot racing bellcrank and xpert wr4140 servo after watching your video! Cant wait to try it, ok good to know. I did get ahold of shining star on facebook because they are out of stock, I told them i saw your complete chassis build on your channel and definitely made me want to buy it! Cant wait to see the new building and more racing, thanks again for the videos!

Oh ok, so you should be able to have some fun on the track already :) Please let me know how you like that servo. I don't have it myself yet, but I am pretty sure it's awesome! That is very cool of you to namedrop my video, I sure do apreshiate that :) Good luck racing!!

+Ivan .B thank you, Ivan. I will have to get back to you for a complete list, but meanwhile, I suggest you take a look at this link from ssc's webpage: www.teamsscrc.com/pdf/SSC-v25f-Build-Sheet.pdf

Nice I will look at it right now !!!! You have a great channel and I hope it grows bigger you give and show alot of great info !!!

+Ivan .B thank you Ivan. That means a lot! I will start producing more videos after my wedding. Right now that's all I focus on :)

Legacy75100, Oh, I should have included that in the video! I used double sided tape. A thick and foamy one. It sticks really well and the thick foam helps absorb vibrations and hard impacts.

Hi Andrei, and thank you for tuning in to my channel! I'm glad you can use my video for your future SSC build. You are very right, Mike is a really great guy. He is very helpful and gives great customer support on a personal level. Also he has too much knowledge about his chassis and rc racing in general. The stand I use is Duratrax pit tech deluxe. I bought it from eBay. It's very nice to have! Andrei, where are you from? Russia?

Northern Light RC Hi! Thank you for the reply. I know that my name is Russian, but, no. I'm from Romania :) Mike just told me that his grandmother was from Romania so I feel that we are kind of conected more than by a chassis :) I'm looking forward to receive the chassis and I will let you know when everything is up and running. If you won't mind, if necessary, I will get back to you if I will get stucked or something. But your video is so helpful and I hope that I will make it by myself. So far, I haven't done any other upgrades besides a 2s lipo and the upcoming proline badlands. I hope they will make a difference. In fact, I was wondering if you can tell me if traxxas diff oils 30k front and 50k back will work fine? Thank you for all that you do!

+Andrei Michailov, cool! I have a friend from Cluj-Napoca. Small world! Yes keep me updated on how your ssc build goes, and I will gladly help you if you need assistance. The badlands are really good for gravel, dirt, sand and grass. Not so much for asphalt, but they are my favorite offroad bashing tires. I think the stock diff fluid setup is 30k front and 100k rear. I run thinner oils in my track racer, 10k rear and 7k front, but I think you'll do good with 30k front, 50k rear for bashing.

Northern Light RC indeed a small world :) if I will get more into RC and racing maybe we will meet one day on the track. :). How about the Blue Loctite? Was it ok? Tnx

And thank you for the tips. It's good to know that in this small world there are still good people.

Hi Troy, I fitted with the Traxxas GTR shocks with Variable Damping Piston kit installed, 1,6mm holes. I'm testing different WT oils and spring tensions right now for an upcoming video on shocks.

Yes I do have Facebook. Look up Andreas Grepstad and I'll accept your IM request :)

+Camo Joe thanks, man! More videos coming soon :)

Yup, sure did! We’ve moved our track facility 2 times in 2017, so I’m hoping our new track will stay for a while. I recently got married and bought an old house that takes up all my time, but I’ll be getting back on the youtube horse real soon :)

Thanks man! I really don’t deserve the good sub base, because my life situation has not allowed me to create new content for a good while. But I mean, what creates good subs is to address topics that are not to be found already. All my topics are about stuff I’ve had to go really deep to find a solution for, so all I try to do is to make the answers more available!

No it isn't very heavy. I don't have the exact numbers here, but the SSC chassis is 50-100 (I think I remember this) grams lighter than the LCG chassis. The big difference lies in how the weight is distributed on the chassis. It feel lighter and stiffer when driving it.

Race, break, fix, repeat! That’s the fun of this hobby! The first crash hurts, but then it’s on :)

+fuckinlowdowndrummer LOWDOWN!!!

+Miguel Ezpinoza no problem :)No, I have no instagram so far.

Yup, you are off course right. There are not much stock parts left, but I don't know what else to call it. SSC, STRC, PROLINE, VG RACING, HOT RACING ETC Short course truck? :) The fact is that the truck is still based on the Slash drive line and suspension, so I choose to call it a SSC Slash :) Hope that is ok with you?
