Default associated sc10/hpi blitz ese pro setup

Will this setup for the Associated SC10 work well?

Be aware that I cannot fit in a setup that is much more expensive, AKA $750 max.

Thanks!

All that equipment looks good; but, why not use the Tekin RS motor with the ESC? Or I guess you're looking to race 17.5 stock class.

If you're not looking to get the best of the best but still want good equipment then get this: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXBVKX&P=7. It has everything you need except AAs. Also, you can join Tower's member's club for $10 and you would receive a $50 coupon plus free shipping on this order. The radio is basic but you can upgrade it and re-sell the stock one.

Scratch that, make that a Tekin RS pro w/17.5 rs motor.

That's a good package. The Savox 1258 is a great servo and about the fastest one I can find in that price range from a popular brand. I have one on the way for my B4 as we speak.

The 1258TG is a good budget servo.

You'll save a few bucks if you just get the RS with the Redline 17.5 motor. Supposedly the Trinity RevTechs and D3 motors are better than the Tekins too. But, ThunderbirdJunkie doesn't run stock, so he's not up on the 17.5 motors.

I'm thinking that I could also get a Novak Ballistic 17.5 instead of that Tekin motor...

BTW, I like to be able to run 3s!

Now, the next question: Will the setup previously mentioned work better for the SC10 or the Blitz? Not sure which one to get...

Also, which would work better for this kind of track???

Just a side comment that's unrelated, but seriously,

You said that the Futaba 3PRKA was a dumpy radio, and yet, it's your favorite radio!

I said that? I believe you misinterpreted what I posted. Originally I said the stock radio that comes with the SC10RS package is basic and you could always sell it and upgrade it with a new one. I never posted this but, I own a Futaba 3PKS which is an amazing system and has more functions than I'll ever use. Futaba is my favorite brnd of radio gear.

No, no, I''m not talking to you- I''m talking to ThunderBirdJunkie!

Anyway, back to my original question: Which truck would work better for my track? (There's a picture of it in my last post)

Thanks!
