No Idea what SC to buy..advice

[martgifford]

I have the elctronics laying around so a cheap (under £150) SC 2wd advice would be appreciated. The cheaper the better. Just for a little comp use
JE spares are doing Ansmann 1/10 2WD Short Course Kit for 69.99?

But not sure on the specs and if it requires upgrading (like ball-bearings)

Really the cheaper the better
Any ideas people

THanks

That one is very bargain basement. For an extra £10 you can get this:

Comes with Aluminium schocks, slipper clutch, CVDs etc. Just got one myself - quality piece of kit

Looks more promosing but is it 'standard' compeition size. As frecklychimp thinks otherwise. Thanks guys for all the advice.

Yes the X2SC is the full sized version. The SC2 is the smaller version.

I was referring to the £69.99 Ansmann you first posted,

Chris slipped in with the X2SC which is a full sized proper SCT with bearings and all the nice goodies already on it, plus a clear bodyshell... well worth buying for racing with

Thanks guys - ordering now

Awesomeness

Any suggestions for motors - upgrades - ratios -
Got an LRP TC spec Esc, got 8.5 - 7.5 - 6.5 - 5.5
And need to get a servo

Does it come as a kit?

Just noticed its a kit

Do I need tyres - using at EPR astro

8.5T would already be pretty fast for 2WD SC... if you're running on carpet, 7.5T will also be feasible... 6.5-5.5 is insane

The cheap Ansmann JE Spares have for that price is not a proper sized SCT, it is a lot shorter and wider, basically a stadium truck with a jelly mould body on it to look like an SCT

It won't have bearings or turnbuckles either and has cheap plastic shocks which tbh don't last long before they fall apart everytime you use it.

Alright for a basher but not if you are going to race it.

The Ansmann C.O.R.E is a proper sized truck and are very good, same issue with plastic shocks, turnbuckles and bearings though.

I run a Losi XXX-SCT, can be had as a race roller for your budget and is as good as the current competition, got a few at our club in standard form and they seem to be the strongest of the lot too.

You can find bargain deals on HPI Blitz ESE's and AE SC10 FT's for that money if you search around.
