late to the 2wd game, what truck to buy

Thanks, I was kinda proud of myself considering I'm not a great driver and haven't had much practice time in the last year or so. The SC10 just seems to fit my driving style perfectly.

I would also recommend the Factory Team SC10 if you can wait, but as you mentioned it will probably be mid summer before they are readily available. I would be interested in trying a blitz as I keep hearing really great things about them handling and durability wise. Although my SC10 ran on an 1/8 scale track all weekend and didn't break one part, I did bend a camber link in practice when I got run into by an 1/8 e-buggy going over a table top, but we bent it straight on pit road and it was fine ever since. The only changes I made to the truck were putting a basic setup on it that I got off of AE's site and cleaned the grease out of the rear diff and filled with 40wt shock oil and a squirt of 2000wt diff oil. Other than that I didnt touch it.

Sorry I forgot to congraduate you on doing so well with the 4WD guys.

Your diff mod, how has it helped compared to the black grease, very curious ?

Thanxs

I actually have some video footage of the race, I'll see if I can post it up somewhere tonight, you can see how the truck ran (and my lousy driving ).

The diff mod seemed to help quite a bit, I may go to a thicker oil yet as it seemed to still wanted to diff out under acceleration and spin out if I got on it just a fraction too quick. I found info on what to use on RCTech, I may try it again and add a little more of the 2000wt diff oil and a little less shock oil. I was def. smoother than the grease. Or I may just go the ball diff route and not have to worry about it.

i've heard good things about the pro-line slash stuff out there. my only question with it is if the wheels are not readily available ? as i understand it once you go the pro-line susp package you have to use those wheels, could i use adapters for 1/8 buggy wheel/tires with their package? it seems like it could limiting. Anywho all slashes aside, i think i'm waiting for the BLITZ ESE. This is seeming so logical. If i could i would do a blitz ese and a
FTSC10 with the same electronics.
