This class is very strong at my club, I have seen the different brands and there is no doubt in my mind the Losi TEN SCTE is far superior and is the best, I have one and I done a lot of research before I purchased. They are a pro kit so you add electrics.

Good luck with whatever you purchase.

The Team Redcat TR-SC10E is a lot better than the Slash 4x4 and will hang with the more expensive 4x4 SCT offerings like the Tekno SCT410. Only thing you may need to do for extra durability is boil the suspensions arms and upgrade to a Lunsford titanium upper turnbuckle in the front. It's a really fast truck, easily does 40+ out of the box on 2S.

My Arrma Senton 6S hasn’t broken yet and my brothers Traxxas Slash Ultimate breaks almost every time we run them

We drive them the same way: hard

Not saying one is better than the other, just in our instance, my Arrma has held up WAY better

i like that Arrma Senton 3s is total covered gearing system.
This car is also plastic, flexible and nice drive,. light , fun

what is standart pinion ?
i know that these 3s rigs can take extra tooth pinions easy.

If standard is 15t
you can easy go 17-18t like nothing if you want faster car

The 3s Typhon Buggy is FANTASTIC DRIVE.
Light
fast
good tyres
everything is perfect almost
15t
i change to 18t
now i have 20t , speedrunning abit also

Buggy is always sensitive because the exposed tyres.

Short Course is special because the fat protective body, wheels are covered inside.
These cars turn around right after couple side volts also.... Almost self righting when they roll around bad
Buggy is not fun crash hard when they start roll sideways, there will be something that destroys in the gearing system or a arms almost always if you run fast

Nice off road rc track
THEN
Buggy is the best always.


Bashing . SCT is pretty good i have learn.
Because the Covering Body = wheels inside, not exposed .
Very fast runs, and bad crashes, the SCT Body covers atleast 50% more than buggy body does.

Nice track Buggy offcourse

Random bash, backyards, woods, stone areas, sometimes track,,,, skateparks, huge jumps first year to learn controll car in air like pro
These last things SCT must be best choise right?

I like 1/8 buggy wheel converted SCT trucks most for bashing and fun

I wouldn't read too much into those scores. For example, no way the ECX Torment and the Turnigy Trooper PRO are better than the Team Redcat TR-SC10E and the Losi Tenacity. The TR-SC10E is at least a 4.0 and head to head with the others should be in the top five.

Also, the ARRMA Senton 3S BLX doesn't completely live up to the ARRMA tough name and some are having drivetrain issues. It's probably fine on 2S all day long but 3S may lead to part failures depending on how hard you bash.

FYI make sure you read Bill’s full article for those scores

As for the 3S BLX line, I’ve had nothing but great experience with them so far, and I bash mine very hard on 3S

50+ mph into concrete curbs, hitting jumps into trees, etc etc, and they have held up exceptionally well

I'll take my et410, AE+3 SCT wheels, +1 Hubs, B64 rear Driveshaft, Cobra Racing SCT Chassis, tboneracing bumpers, 2000g weights (to make min weight) and sc6.1 bodymounts, anyday. Bring them on. OK, outdoor where heavier may help, sct410.3 or SCTE3.0.
