Is Short Course Officially Dead?

Out here, it's 1/8 e buggy followed closely by 1/8 nitro. I still have my 4x4 SC but it's shrunk to about 8 cars in my club. Real estate is so expensive so it makes an indoor track cost prohibitive. Somebody once gave a figure of $17k per month after heat. But last year an onroad club opened up to 1/10 buggy and about 20 of us bought cars. Now with the warm weather, everybody is out doors again and 1/10 has obviously gained some steam.
Is SC dead? Nah, it's just slowed down a bit. It depends on where you go. Every town is different. If I would bring my SC to a lot of other places, they would look at me like I was crazy because of my 4.5 turn motor.

Yes it is as outdoors on the 1/8 tracks with only 1 class of them even for big races but they show up to have a class at about 2 of the tracks i go to . The other track on club days barely a enough or none.
I agree its a fun class to run you can throw them around more on loose dirt than 1/8 E-Buggy .

I think is AE would release another 4x4 competitive short course the class would gain some steam...

It's not dead in my area and it does seem to bring in the most newbies, which is good for our hobby. Hell, that's what got me into Rc and although I have moved on to buggy and stadium truck, I occasionally bring out the sct410 and rub fenders with the other guys

Not dead in Lv. In fact my local track just started a point series for a traxxas sc class! I sold my yokomo yz-2 to get the Sc5m when it comes out. Friday nights they are sometimes 2 full heats of Sc and that's the slow night.

Yea we have a pretty big sct class at our track making traxx rc. We had 19 2wd trucks, and 7 4wd trucks. And that was a light day lol.
