Was out with SCRT10 for the first time today.
But boy was I not happy!
Has a turningradius like freight train, jumped like it had an extra 50kg (110lb for you US-boys) at it's nose and acceleration and top speed sucked.
Motor got hot, 70°C (158°F) after about 3 minutes of runtime.
Geared for 38mph (calculated with LiPos at 4.2V x 2S).
This motor is allegedly able to push an RC8Be arround.

To put this in to comparison:
I put my Slash 4x4 on the track later that day.
The eledged non-competitive toy truck.
With springs that didn't really work with that shock setup, with positive(!) camber and toe-in way off in the front, because I forgot to reset them.
It would have wiped the floor with the SCRT10 today.
On an, admitedly somewhat slippery, carpet track!
It turned like a tank, flew straight and was super controlable.
In short, everything I expected.
From the SCRT10.

Man am I pi**ed!
Sorry for that rant guys, guess I needed to get that off my chest.
