I have had multiple Slashes and SC10s. As stated above, the SC10, once dialed it, is a great truck.. However, I then bought two Kyosho USC trucks and after a few "upgrades" it is night/day difference from my SC10s. I also noticed that Kyosho is coming out with a "race" version soon..

If you do decide to get the SC10 though, look for an upgraded used one. There are many great buys out there currently and it would be cheaper in the long run.

Looks to me that the Kyosho USC has won every big race it has shown at.

That doesn't really mean much. You can have the greatest truck ever built, but it will be useless if you can't get parts for it.

so if you race on Saturday or Sunday and you break a part you have a week to get a new one....most tracks don't race every week and if your basher then buy a basher "slash" parts can be found at pep-boys..

A tuned sc10 can whup blitz's, I do it all the time. Out of the box outdoors with out any tuning (who does that?) yes the blitz will win.

PS I've never had a USC finish ahead of my sc10.... indoor or outdoor, but in it's defence there are only a few around here.

SC10 indoors
Slash outdoors

Depends on where you'll be racing.
I plan on getting the factory team sc10 eventually for the pro corr class
we are starting.

The slash just dominates outdoor racing in my area. The Sc10's
cant get near 'em. But the SC10 is the cheater truck indoors. LOL

Well, duhhh! You might want to consider that a lot of people like to be able to buy their parts locally and at the track.

SCX-60 by Xfactory/Speedydad Is by far the best truck in its class. Driving it is like running a 13.5 in 17.5 stock class its not even fair!

What's that got do with anything? No, I could get parts just fine, I just didn't want to keep buying them over and over. And it was two axles, SaladDork. If you're going to insult at least do it properly.

Oh yea it was Losifeind who sold his Slash 4x4 because of parts support, and you said you shelved your Slash cause you got sick of buying axles. How soon you guys forget the only place you could get parts for the Slash was on Ebay... For months it was like this, paying outrageous prices and bitching about not being able to get parts, I can dig the post up if you would like. Not insulting just pointing that out.

Good day sir!
SaladDork out...
