I bought a slash to apease a friend with a short course track. however, i'm tired of his whining and unwillingness to change or upgrade or even spend a dollar. I like to hop things up logically. Now i wanna be competitve at our local track (rpm hobbies medford OR). Seems like when i ask for advice locally it isn't always logical but seems to result in imenent sales for shops. ie i want the very best 2wd short course i can afford, not just what they have in stock. I'd rather not go rtr route as i don't want to replace everything from start. i know i wanna go brushless and gear it for track, so i don't care about doing 50 mph or whatnot. I want a track only vehicle. I've always been associated guy, and am somewhat satisfied with my brushless slash. how are the blitz, kyosho, sc10 trucks. Pros and Cons please,
some more of my q's
best ESC MOTOR combo (so far i'm thinkin mmp for esc)
TIRES- what works best sc wheels tires or 1/8 buggy setup?
i just want the recipe for winning, i know driving and tune have lots to do with everything, but thats a welcome challenge
sorry such long winded, thanks for the advice

IMO,there is NO best 2WD sc truck-they all have their good and bad points.If
I had to choose one that comes close to being the ideal choice,I would nominate the HPI BLITZ.It is almost as well balanced as the AE SC10,fairly low center of gravity and is nearly as tough as the Slash 2WD.The stock Maxxis tires are a good starting point for use on a variety of surfaces.As far as B/L motor/esc combos are concerned,I like to stay in the 3000kv-5000kv range for the motor and an ESC no less than 60 AMPS.I have a few S/C trucks and they are listed here.
2WD:
Slash 2WD=Xcelorin 4800kv motor/EZrun 80amp ESC/Proline Split Six/Bowties.
AE SC10=VXL 3500kv combos/stock wheels and tires.
AE SC10=XErun 3200kv sensored motor/60amp ESC/stock wheels and tires.
HPI Blitz=Xcelorin 4800kv motor/EZrun 80amp ESC/stock wheels and tires.
ALL are run on 6000mah 30c 2s hardcase Lipos.
4WD:
Slash 4X4=stock.
Hobao Hyper 10 SC=Novak HV PRO 6.5T combo/stock wheels and tires.
Hobao Hyper 10 SC=Mamba Max 4600kv combo/stock wheels and tires.
If you want an all round motor/ESC combo,the VXL 3500kv combo is as good a starting point as any.The info is only based on my own personal experiences and what has worked for me.
