So when is LOSI coming out wSC10 comp....
Ok,
With the the popularity of Short Course trucks in the past year exploding, ROAR making a specific class for the trucks, and LOSI largest competitor releasing a truck................where is LOSI's "SCX-T" or whatever they'd call it???
I'm a LONG time Losi loyalist (I have every electric truck they've released) have had LOTS of fun with my SLASH, but I drove a SC10 last nite and LOSI needs to release a truck.
Give me the xxx-t on a CAD program and I'll do it just strech it out, design some rims to fit the tires, and get a body designed.
I imagine it would be a RTR but LOSI needs to get on the bandwagon fast.....just ask TRAXXAS how many SLASHES they sold.
I hope LOSI doesn't let me down...............

IMO, it's too bad that AE didn't stick with the true spirit of the Slash and make the SC10 with a lifted chassis. Not that the Slash design is like the real SC trucks... but it does add some realism to the way they handle and it makes them great for kids to run around the yard etc.
If AE and others would have copied the raised chassis, then they would ALL likely be competitive instead of breaking apart a potentially huge racing class. The way I see it now is that the Slashes will not be considered competitive so in effect we now have 2 "sct" classes, even before splitting them up into stock/spec and mod/open.
The only positive I see in the T4 based truck is that they leaped ahead of the curve should this class someday replace the current 1/10 truck class. If that happens, which would be awesome IMO... then the raised chassis design would surely go away in favor of the low cg race type chassis.
So if SCT is the future of 1/10 truck racing, then the SC10 design is perfect, and Losi and others will follow with similar trucks and this will be a serious competitive class.
The rest of the world never embraced 1/10 trucks but I could see this realistic looking truck class be a different story. Anyone want to buy my slightly used Factory Team T4?

Ok I'm on board with the whole race bred SC trucks.
I say we kill off the retarded looking 1/10 stadium truck class we have now, and replace with with these new realistic stadium trucks.
That way we have plenty of room for the new classes. Stock spec "Slash only" class for novice etc, regular ROAR stock class with 17.5 or 13.5 and slash type tire treads, and then full mod/open class where you can run mod motors and the race treads like the new Jconcepts Goosebumps.
Let the current 1/10 truck class die.
Who is with me?

The SLASH Class at my local track, S&N'S TRACKSIDE, has been the largest class for most of the offroad season (Sept-April).

This is like saying, let's dish profesional golf and play competitive miniature golf....Stadium Truck, Buggies, and 4wd classes aren't going anywhere, it's like getting rid of NASCAR and replacing it with bumper cars....
Although, I must say, Those SC trucks are a whole lotta fun...
