RC10T4 Good truck ???
My 13 year old son has been racing a stock 2wd Slash at a local track and having a great time. We would like to get another truck so he could race another class. I have been looking at a Team Assoicated RC10T4,I see them listed on E-bay for around $225 by RC Boyz among others. Knowing this is not the factory team setup, it still comes with a 2.4ghz radio,ESC,And a brushless motor
Any thoughts on this truck ??

I have a T4 and I love it! I have it set up with a 9 Turn Brushless and it is fast even on 2S power. It is has been quite some time since I have done any racing but the T4 has a pretty impressive pedigree as far as a race truck goes. I think he will more than happy with it. BTW I have purchased quite a few parts from RC Boyz and they are a great seller. Quick shipping and have always been helpful when i had questions.

i have a T4 RTR version that is almost 3 years old and never had to complain about the truck, it handles very good, can take a lot of pounding, easy to maintain and dissasamble, lots of hop-ups, big availability of parts. i would highly recomend the truck for any begginner.

I've been looking into this truck aswell. Seems to be a great truck that has been around for years with good aftermarket support. Makes a great racer and can handle bashing so covers both fields. I'm not sure how good the stock BL system is but like most RTR's I would think it will be alright if you dont push it to hard.
All in all it seems to be a kick butt platform.

T4.1 is a great truck. Bought an RTR 6 months ago and have been very happy. I am brand new to this so it must be durable to still be alive.
Weaknesses:
out of the box tires aren't very good for hard packed clay
servo is dreadfully slow
ESC has a tendancy to fail. Mine went out 45 days old. Replace free of charge by AE (great customer service) and has been perfect since

Yeah, I recently got one, the BL doesn't make it pop wheelies, for a fact. Is is durable and i love jumping mine on my friends corner shelf, turned upside down, looks like a jump.
