RE: Short course truck.
I will call these wheels and tires: "I wanna be like MaddMatt BFG's" Hehehe. I tried to get the black ones but these were really cheap. It's starting to grow on me now. The hexes made the tires stick out so I trimed the wheel wheels. Makes it have a wider stance by about 1/2 inch on each side.

It's been a month and a half. And this truck is AWESOME! It jumps like crazy, no landing is to long or hard. Speed is awesome. The best part is running a Lipo battery and having full power as fast as I can pull the throttle. AND. . . . . It's for sale. Look in the RCU classifieds.

HAHAHA! . . . . . . That sure caught your attention. Gonna get something a bit newer. I hate everytime I buy a R/C vehicle, 4 months later something better comes out. My birthday's coming up in a couple months. Maybe I'll get lucky!! Believe it or not I got two trailers to build for guys. One will be $450 and the other $455. With about $300 profit. Once that word gets out I hope to build one a week. I sure hope!
Don't worry. . . I'll have something new to wipe your truck all over falconer, NY!!!

So the kid gave me back the SC10 and now wants the Tmaxx that I got. So I got everything sold that I wanted but then I get the SC10 back and now I don't have a dang radio or receiver. But that's ok. Looks like it might sit on a shelf for another month til the racing starts up again.

Well, here it is, Slash 4x4 wheels, HPI Blitz front C-hubs, Hex drives, and spindles. Full RPM arms, Bumpers, and Ball ends. Looks Awsome! The HPI stuff fits pretty good without much trouble. The rear hex drives are stock TC4 touring car, the front are stock Blitz.

SC10 is available in kit form and is so far the cheapest option in a short course truck, but still based on the t4 which seams to break easy in the front end. Reviews of blitz are pretty good, but the slash still has the waterproof electronics. Blitz RTR is only about $10 - $15 more than the Kit SC10. Was his SC10 a RTR or Kit? I would actually prefer the kit form myself. Too bad the new 4x4 Slash Platinum is so much $...

Yea. . . They had all the short course trucks in together, about 7 or 8 trucks in a heat, with two heats. You can find it on YouTube. there is a couple video's of it. The Blitz, In My Opinion, was able to hook up alot better on the carpet then all the others.

Yeah, the T4 seems to break the front end too easily... even with just incidental contact... arms get torn off. Or it could be your lead foot. Were they running in the same class as the Slash trucks?

Don't really want to spend that much... Just wanted to build one up with the RPM lights and stuff to make it look cool. Starting to lean towards the Trashxxas, just because of the higher ground clearance, and the fact that it's such a common race class, just in case. But i think the price on slashes has gone up some from when they first came out... and the Blitz is cheaper. Amain hobbies had Strike BND's for $169.99 lastweek but I didn't have the $$ at the time, and they were up to $200 as of last night.. (even though they are pretty much junk).
