personally i run a SC10, the Ansmann core runs a lightly shorter wheel base than the SC10 but shouldnt cause too much of an issue, dont know if there is much thats interchangeable with the Ansmann range, looking at how well ya went with the monkey first time out, they do do a mid motor SCT too. its all gonna be down to personal choice in the end unless you can get a go with one.
if you go after the SC10 with the shot diff just let me know when ya up at Ardent or drop it in the post to me and ill sort it for ya
