Looking at some more pics of vehicles from Thunder tiger versus what is on Tower's site, there is the Thunder Tiger DT12 that I can't seem to find as an actual vehicle on TT USA site, everything else though appears to be there.

Review of it here:

From looking at the pics of the DT12 and some of the other larger vehicles like the XXB brushless, maybe its a combo of the two in some form to get it up to 1/10 SCT size, with AE touches where need be.
Heck, if it works and gets more people into the hobby, great.

Awesome!! AE just made it easier for newbies who still need to work on their skill set to get into a class that's notoriously over powered and crazy fast.
AE, you just gave me one more reason NOT to go back to 4x4 bus.
IMO
I'm in no way against newbies, the hobby needs them.....just not in 4x4 bus

The Qualifier Series is Team Associated's exciting new line of sport-level products that are designed to be FUN above all else, yet are lower cost, easy to use, durable, and provide an easy way to get into the RC hobby. When great looks and high performance are combined with quality features and value pricing, it becomes the ultimate sport product.

I dont think the SC10 4x4 is going anywhere , AE spent way too much money on R&D and making all those molds to abandon it so quickly . It does have a pretty big following as well .

It really depends on how well the truck drive, and I would be willing to bet it drive better than the sc10 4x4 on the tracks in my area.
I for one like it. Of course this is speculation that the truck will drive well, but I now have the option of going back to AE.

this truck is FAR from a "racing ride". don't think it's meant to be. i think this is a good move by AE. there is nothing wrong with catering to the biggest market out there (bashers).
i have doubts that this thing can be a competitive racing platform, so i'm not sure the SC10 4x4 is dead like everyone else seems to think.

I like it ! I can see this truck out selling the SC10 4X4 its a easy platform to work on it looks like and it rolls on a drive shaft and looks like its good at large outdoor tracks. More competion in the 4x4 SC class although i can see its light and will need some weight added because a SCTE will knock it around lol.

At a club level this truck can be competive in stock form heck i saw a stock HPI electric truggy being compeitive with guys running Associated/Durango/Losis truggys.
Its all about the driver/setup.
Im not there yet, but if the truck works well, I would be happy to give it a shot.

nobody doubts that mayfield or phend can show up to any club race and dominate with a box stock slash 4x4. that's not what i meant. by competitive racing platform, i meant that if your intention is to buy a race truck, this is not the best option. far from it. i'd rather wheel a: durango, losi, SC10 4x4, hyper, team c, nexx, etc. for a given driver with equal tuning/set up time, he SHOULD be faster with any of those over the prolite.

I like it too!! I might jus get this for my 7 yr old and take out the servo, and shocks from his FT truck and try it. I like the platform, seems to make sense on the design. And the body kinda looks sick too..
