What's faster on the track, Slash or SC10?

[HandyRacing]

With all the debate about which truck would perform better on the track, why not side by side A-Main times comparison between Slash Spec and non-Slash Short Course trucks such as the Associated SC10 and others.

This could be fun?

Below, in the SC class are a smattering of mostly SC10s, a few Slashes with stock motors, one home made Academy Short Course Truck, and at least one if not two Rustler based home made trucks...

The rest is here < that is a link

i dont think there is even a comparison!

I think the SC10 is far superior in terms of build quality and racing "pedigree" if you like - The Slash just looks like a budget, flat chassis fun / strong "toy" for the RTR market to me..... The SC10 is a thoroughbred T4 Truck race car with a few mods / tweeks here and there :-)

I'd like to know how the Blitz and Strike will compare to the SC10.

Yeah, we're all excited about the new entires to this exciting class.

Our local programs are moving toward a straight forward "Stock" and "Open" class format. Should make for some exciting races...

Note, the BFG race vid shows the #13 running strong whihc as a home made Academy SC truck, and two others consistently in the top 10 were home made Rustler based rigs. And then there were a few SC10s and Slash in the field.

Thanks for the input.

I keep wondering how the T4 A-Arms hold up to the abuse of the SC class. Any observations?

Well (touch wood) mine has been indestructible so far, but Pat managed to break a wishbone last week apparently. Although he probably did his usual and tried to drive it up the wall instead of taking the bend like everyone else

I love my Slash and won’t hear a bad word said against it. The handling is pure comedy gold, and it’s pretty much indestructible. It’s a great truck to get people into the hobby. But, with equal drivers, I don’t think it can compete with the low centre of gravity cars from AE, HPI and soon Kyosho, especially on high grip surfaces. I think of it more like the old Tamiya Boomerang or Hotshot in the early 90s, great for messing about and getting you started at a few club meets, then, as people want to be more competitive they move to the more race capable cars.

Can't wait for the HPI Blitz though.

Have you guys seen the Losi SCT go against the Sc10s etc, how does it compare?

I think that the shell helps out here, as the wishbone isn't exposed to knocks like it is on the T4.

I would say the SC10! they preform much better and look nicer

[twisty]

I would say the Slash looks better and is stronger,but the SC10 might perform slightly better,TBH there is very little in it.

I bought a Slash
Which ever you go for,you can be assured of it being fun
