Default SC 10 vs Blitz



Gonna buy another SC truck soon . For racing . Fathers Day gift to myself !!

What are the pros and cons of the SC 10 vs the Blitz ??

I am gonna race it at OCRC in Southern California .

I am considering the new Team Associated SC10 Kit or the new Blitz ESE kit .

What is a good BL motor / esc combo for stock class racing ?? 17.5 turn at my track for stock class .

The guy that works at the track told me the SC10 steering was twitchy and less durable then the Blitz .

I actually drove a Blitz for a few laps today at the track and it seemed twitchy . LOL . I guess compared to my lumbering slash anything would seem twitchy to me at this point .

This is a tough choice for me . Damn . $300 burning a hole in my pocket !!

Iheard that as well , I bet replacing it with a stock chasis would ge a good way to go ! All the other ESE upgrades seem like worthy of a purchase . I have a traxxas velineon system I could drop in or xl - 5 titan 12t combo as well for racing stock class . I would like a 17.5 turn BL system for stock class as well .

Very tough choice for me !!! Factory Team SC10 or Blitz ESE ?????

I am going to ask some guys at the track for a few test laps if possible before I make the purchase if Ican resist the impulse buy . They have Blitz ESE's in stock at my LHS......

I personally would go with the Blitz ESE and swap the chassis. So far the chassis is the only item that seems to have any issues. I'm a little concerned that it comes with a ball diff as they "typically" don't hold up to brushless abuse but then again race trucks don't get near the beating a basher would so....

The SC10 has recently been upgraded with stronger arms and a redesigned chassis but from what i'm hearing the chassis is still an issue so it has the same problem as the Blitz ESE...

Haing driven both trucks the Blitz is by far the more forgiving truck and is much easier to drive smooth and fast.
