2WD Buggy or SC10?

2WD Buggy or SC10?
I'm thinking about selling my B4 FT and getting an SC10. I also have a B44 which I love, so I won't be ditching buggy completely.
What do you guys think? Is driving a Slash (I'm assuming the SC10 will the same) more fun than 2wd buggy? Or fun enough to make the trade but still run 4wd buggy?

Craig, I've never raced a Slash, but have driven one on several occasions and I'm planning to get one. There differences are quite apparent in that a buggy is faster, more responsive, and more difficult to drive. Slashes, kept stock and as must tracks run them, aren't nearly as punchy, responsive and require a different type of driving. The biggest difference is why I'm planning to get one; they are always the biggest electric class wherever you race. I've hit a lot of tracks this season and Slashes are always present in very high numbers. To me, what makes racing RC cars so fun is the competitive enviroment. It's not nearly as fun to race against 5 or 6 buggies as it is to mix it up with two or three heats of Slash racers. It looks like the Slash clash is here to stay and it looks really fun. You should get one...

I have an SC10 on the way, but that's me.

Where I race now the biggest class is 2wd open. The last big race had 5 heats of 2wd open, and two for Slash open.
I started with 2WD but I enjoy 4WD more. I usally end up near the bottom of E main (out of A, B, C, D, and E) in 2wd open (running a 17.5 though) and the top of the C main (out of A, B, C, D) in 4wd open. So, to say the least, I am not a very good driver.
I do not bash the B4 or B44, but if I got an SC10 I would probably use it outside once in a while when my body comes over with his RC10GT2 nitro truck.

It may be a good idea to change the shocks on it. It appears to have the same chassis as the XXX-CR, maybe a little shorter. It will be fun once you get it setup for your liking. I totally despise Traxxxas, everything they make is cheaply made and total crap The slash is kinda fun, but the SC10 can accomplish the same level of fun while getting faster lap times. But I drive at least 50 hours a week so I kinda learn to perfect my lap times a tad bit to much
On top of that the SC10 has working lights

I'd keep your buggy and just get a SC10 on the side. Put a 4600KV Losi or Castle Creations motor and ESC, I prefer Castle for fine tuning adjustments.

Where did you see "working lights" on the SC10??

....... or get a slash that comes with a throw-a-way radio system and less than desirable RTR electronics, or buy an SC10 and be better off in the long run. EASY CALL !!

You need both...I don't think I'd bother racing if I only owned a Slash or SC10.
