Blitz or Slash?
 

Which one?

Thinking of getting a short course for bashing and maybe a bit of racing. Both are supported at my local model shop so the dilema is which one?

Also, which clubs in the midlands race short course?

SC10 ;) :p I'd take the Blitz over the Slash though...

sc10 :wub

then blitz,losixxx sct,kyosho sct

then.. wait ..... then anyting traxxas :D

The Slash is made using very bendy plastics so it`s a very very strong basher,it will race OK.

The Blitz is so much more a real racer,there are loads more adjustments available on the Blitz,it`s more tuneable from track to track,different conditions etc and it`s still very tough for occasional bashing.

Losi XXX SCT or Blitz

we race SCT's on tuesday evenings at A1 Racing Club near Grantham, always plenty of 2WD's and a full heat of 4wd's if everyone turns up.

Blitz is popular with our racers, Broxtowe club has plenty of them on a friday night and the SCT Nationals were well populated with them.

I had a Slash last year for a bit, good strong car, but not competitive with the others when it comes to racing, not many setting options and a high centre of gravity, didn't like faster motors and became useless against the Blitz's our chaps all got... other cars bounce equally as well as the Traxxas.

A XXX SCT or Blitz will be strong enough to make a good basher and an excellent racer :thumbsup:

SC10 is equally as good but i just don't like Associated products :p

I'm gonna go for the Blitz, for obvious reasons :p but to be honest, you all go on about the SC10, but if the losi spares were more readily available I'd choose the Losi XXXSCT over the SC10 anyday!

But yeah, Blitz over Slash EVERY time. :)

but thier not!:p so sc10 or soon the 4x4 ;)

Can't wait to see how the 4x4 drive belts cope with 550 torque, not convinced! :p

I've run an Associated SC10 and most thought it was brushless and tweaked - not so, it was the bog standard RTR with the brushed motor and it went exceedingly well - strong too, only one broken front arm because I slammed it into a metal stanchion - flat out. Highly recommended.

Seriously contemplating the new AE 4x4 SCT to replace my Hong Nor SCRT, but I'll wait a month or two to see how others get on and see what the intial feedback's like - ithe Hong Nor's good but I think over-engineered and quite heavy - if it had a better driver it could give a 'chimp' a good slapping with his Lousi whatever...
