Thanks guys. It weighs about 6lbs without batteries. It was hard to weigh, but no more than 7lbs for sure.
It drives great. Different from any other truck I've driven, so what do I know? The suspension is stiff, as it should be. It seems to soak up the terrain well without donkey kicking too much.
The only thing about it that is unpredictable is that tends to "skate" sideways, and it will either powerslide wonderfully like a real Torc truck does, or it'll get front wheel heavy on one one side and flip. I'm only running one Traxxas 2075 servo, and it turns on a dime. So a better servo would make it a challenge to drive.
I'm positive it's the nature of these types of trucks. Even though it's on the Erevo chassis, that makes it even more balanced I'd think? I even have sway bars on it. Maybe it needs a bit of sway? I think these types of trucks are meant to be ran on smooth dirt and not much else. The small tires leave little room for error. I may adjust my camber a bit to see if that helps make it more stable.
It is a vast improvement over the stock arms I once ran on on this chassis, that's for sure. Sorta makes me wonder how it would handle if it had Revo arms on it? Then it wouldn't be a SC truck! But it would be fun.
I guess until I figure out the nature of these trucks via some race footage on youtube or something, i would have to say it is awesome. You can't go by the stupid Traxxas vids, where everything is chopped up or slow motion.
