Which short course to get

[deano261]

I'm thinking of getting a short course truck and don't know which to get. Can anyone help. I have looked at a blitz and an ansmann truck

[Dudders]

Ditto!

Associated?

RTR or roller?

Associate are brilliant, I was racing 4wd cats up until 3 weeks ago.easy to get parts too and bloody great fun. Good luck.

SC10 4x4 just built mine and compared to slash 4x4 handles and drives much better,can take courners so much faster and seems solid, cant wait to race it now,also have the sc 10 2wd these seem to run well at the races,keeps winning.

Losi XXX SCT for 2WD or Losi Ten SCTE for 4WD,

guess which brand is my bag!

You wouldn't go wrong with a Blitz or SC10, both very competitive, both strong and easy to set up with lots of aftermarket parts if you desire.

Our club is full of HPI and Associated trucks and couldn't say one is any better than other, just personal choice and driving style i suppose.

the Losi XXX SCT is very similar idea to them so can't see why it wouldn't be as good, just not tried one yet!

If you want 4WD then the Durango is the one to have, seems to be far quicker and balanced than others... if you want 4wd but don't want to spend £280 on a roller then go for the Hong Nor SCRT10, brilliant bit of kit for the money, i use one as a back up truck and club racer, love it!

If going 4WD then note that they sap power so you will need 5000+ LiPo's with a 50c+ rating and a 4.5 550 set up to keep up with us.

The 2wd class is far more popular with a good field of them at most club meetings i've been to lately.

You can't really go wrong with an SC10, proven race winner and dead easy to get parts for if you need anything as most of the things that wear (diff parts ect) are exactly the same as the B4.1

Ive got a Blitz and a Durango. Cant fault either of them. All major brands make a good sct. I'd go with the one that your LHS supports best so parts/hopups are easy to obtain.

My Rango DESC410R is sublime. It's not far from a DEX410 under the shell - so balanced.

Er-Indoors caught me stroking it the other day
