Which 4x4 1/10 should I get?

[tech_freak]

I never bought a short course.Don't really know much about any of them.I would like to scratch build,I don't like rtr.I like to know it was done right & well I like wrenching.Or kit if it is really worth it.Will probably use it strictly for racing.
Here is a few I been looking at,the most popular ones I believe.
Slash 4x4

What will you be using the truck for?

I don't own any short course trucks, but I have just built a Losi buggy (22) and if the quality of it is the same for the TEN-SCTE then my vote is for that. I just took the 22 for its first run on a rc race track (1/8 track) and the jumps on that thing were insane. One hour later I just wished I had more batteries on hand, because it just would not break. I had some really big crashes that would have my brushless emaxx (original 3908) in pieces. The 22 kit went together with no mishaps very straight forward. I would not mind getting that TEN-SCTE to mess around with.

Funny you mentioned the 22.Im in the process of building a losi 22.Going slow right now on it.Just got a few hopup parts,couple sets of carriers,few toe plates,& anit squat tuning set.Waiting till a extended chassis comes out till I get one.If not,guess ill get the stock :(.Its a good chassis,just wish it had just a tad more room,just a small tad.I want a 4x4 short course also.Ill probably start building on a Team losi TEN-SCTE or Team associated SC10 soon also.Was going for a slayer or slash 4x4,but I want a rc that isn't traxxas lol.The Team durango DESC410R looks good,but I don't hear much about it.

I love the e-maxx!Still my fav electric MT today.I like the 3906 chassis & transmission design more then the updated one.Use to have a 3906 that I modded up a bit.When I added 1/8 truggy shocks,3905 diffs,ceramic diff balls to the slipper,kimbrough spur,rc best Hardened Nickel Chromium Molybdenum Steel cvd set & blue evx2.I was doing backflips from a standstill on 6 cell venoms & would land on wheels everytime.After I added 3.3 suspenion & 3.3 axles,it did handle better.But acceleration went down allot & it didn't seem as fast.

if you want something for all out racing, the sc10te is a good choice. the sc10 4x4 is also very competitive, but i've broken alot of stuff on both trucks.

in all honesty neither are as durable as a slash 4x4 platinium with a ssc conversion on it.

the slash 4x4 with the ssc conversion is hands down my all time favorite. it handles as good or better than my associated and losi and i can get parts for my slash everywhere.

here's mine:
