Questions?? buying advice help??

Going to probally buy the xxx sct i have a t4 and i race begineers and i need to move up starting to win most of the nightly races and the problem is there is no truck class i dont want to run with buggys so i looking in to the losi xxx sct cause there usually tons of sc trucks

I am going to put the b4.1 brushless in there its a reedy 3300kv motor and a brushless speedo do u think that is a good fit for it?? or should i buy a ezrun 17.5 motor in there and put it with my speedo

Also how is the durablity i see them at the track they look pretty tough

one last thing going to change the gearing once i get it going to change my spur to a 81 what should i change my pinion to

My shop as both the BND and rtr i going to get the BND one and bind it to my KO controller that should work right??

Thanks for the adice

Why not check out the Associated SC10? It is based off the T4 and it's a short course. Also highly competitive.

The reedy 3300 and the rtr Esc are pretty stout so it's a good start. Once you feel like upgrading that I would go with a sensored setup. You will be surprised how much more control you will have. Be sure to read up or ask around about gearing between the two. I found there was a huge difference between them.

Not sure on the BND and the KO. I was under the impression the BND only worked with spectrum radios.

XXX SCT is a great platform and comparable to the SC10 performance.

Most of the sct slipper clutch systems are manufacturer specific which means you usually have to stick with their spur gears.

So many questions Joe but that's what this thread is for I have a factory team b4 and I only use graph its parts since it is factory team. Seems to me that the graphite gives more flex then the plastic parts. But that's what I think I dunno it it's true
