If you can find them used they should go for around $50

Chassis tuning also plays a huge part in how you car will launch off of jumps , I use the battery in the rear posistion and my truck flys nice and level , but my springs and oils have been changed as well .
Every 4x4 I have driven (not tried a SC10 4x4 with the sadle pack setup or the Durango) has been a little nose heavy .

The Losi's clearly have the advantage there. They can control themselves in the air like a 1/8 scale buggy which is cool.
If budget allows I definitely want to get one of these by mid summer.
I would rather have a truck that jumps nose down and land on the downside consistently and that you can level by giving throttle.

From pictures I have seen the SC10 is tail heavy, with around a 45/55 weight distribution. The SCTE balances quite a bit father forward, like 51/49.

I'd like to get one of these to run on the bigger 1/8 scale kind of tracks.

I found weight distibution made a big difference in how this truck jumped, especially on big jumps. I put the battery in the back most position. I use a Bump chassis. And I still found that the weight was still biased towards the front. I actually added weight to the rear just in front of the rear gearbox and now the weight is almost exactly 50/50 front to back and side to side.
This made the biggest difference for me to have the truck jump more like my 1/8 scale buggies.

That said out of all the 4x4 I have run this one takes small inputs in the air very much like an 1/8 scale does Cheers!!!!
