Thank god I bought every spare part imaginable. Wish I had the FT aluminum bulkhead to replace it though. One of the screw holes on the chassis (for securing the bulkhead) also cracked a bit but I put everything back together anyways and it feels strong. Is this chassis toast?

Is the t4 carbon chassis compatible with the sc10?

Nope.

I'm starting to think I should pick up a Blitz to bash around with the dog. Is it that much sturdier? I did run into some trees (4-5) over the last couple weeks with the sc10 but nothing at full speed so this is kind of frustrating.

The carbon parts are stiffer, not stronger, there is a difference and in fact, many find that stiffness to come with more brittleness. Those are mainly used as a tuning option for racers on high bite surfaces.

Bulkheads are cheap and easy to replace, if you make that too much stronger you break the arms or I've even seen the hinge pins shear/bend and so on down the line until you find the next weakest link.

For dog-playing/tree-dodging duty, what you really want is a Slash. The Blitz is probably a bit more durable than an SC10 but not by as much as the king of all bashing vehicles will be.

Were you using the aluminum tie piece?

The HPI is a great choice for a basher. I think it is better than the Slash for bashing. My buddy is breaking stuff all the time on his, my Blitz rarely breaks a thing.

The HPI handles way better as well.

I upgraded to the aluminum bulkhead and the aluminum tie bar.

Reason for the bulkhead is I would rather change an arm than the bulkhead. Reason for the aluminum tie bar is that it's blue and shiny!
