    Belt Tension: The SC10 4x4 belt is 5mm wide neoprene canvas backed. It will stretch slightly over its life, so the belt tensioners will need to be adjusted from the initial settings after about 20-30 minutes of running. By touch, the belt should feel tight when pressing on top surface between the pulleys, and you should only be able to depress the belt about 3mm or 1/8”.
  • Page 49 Front Clicker: For your first run with the SC10 4x4, we recommend to start with full-time 4wd until you get a feel for the truck. Then, you can try loosening the front clicker nut which will allow the clicker to operate.
