SC is far from dead as im sure you kno and prolly meant to word alittle different BUT why not try to bring something into SC since LOSI was the only one w/o a nitro short course truck as im sure AE might be working on a 4wd nitro if the 2wd does well enough
AE has the new SC10GT
Traxxas has the Slayer
Losi - NADA til now

Get the Losi or Traxxas serrated wheels nuts. They are less likely to back off.

Drove the mip scte for the first time last night at our club race... I must say I was pretty impressed... Used Matt olsen's setup from I think sdrc or Jbrl... Cant remember... We race on a large outdoor track (leisure hours raceway) the truck handled very well... And jumped perfect... It's gonna be alot better with some tweeks... Went thru 2 fans... Due to the rx8 bieng mounted directly to the chassis... I'm gonna have to put some padding under it... Took 2nd in the Amain... Coulda maybe caught first if not for my esc over heating... Cheap ass tekin fans
Just curious, did you build the shocks with the blue disc on the top or the bottom of the piston itself?

It looks like a cool truck, just dont think its gonna sell. Bushless/lipo are killing nitro....hell I can out run most of the nitro cars at my local track with the SCTE/Revtech 4800...haha.
I was hoping for a revised SCTE or a 22SCT. I made my own 22SCT with the RCRD chassis so Losi can take all the time they want...not gonna buy one now.
Just seems like they are trying to revive dead classes instead of extending their dominance in current classes...first they release the 22T, now the nitro SCT, so if all goes as planned...they will release the 22SCT in a few more years when SCT is completely dead or dieing.
Losi has been and still is my preferred brand. I am not bashing them, just a little confused about the types of vehicles they are releasing.

There isn't a 1/10 SC nitro class, what they are doing is new. Racing 45mins instead of 10min with our trucks would be insane IMO.
Nitro is still a huge draw and always will be

You can use a piece of lexan to make sure the fan doesnt break. Put it between the fan and the grill. Cut the hole just slightly smaller than the blades. The fan jumps up and hit the grill, cause the blades to break off. This will prevent the fan blades from hitting it.

Quick question: What WT does the Roller Diff's come with in them from the factory?
Has anyone seen the Nitro version in person? I just watched 2 video's and I can't freakin weight!!! To bad it will be coming out so close to indoor season for us northreners!!!!

"out running" the nitro's isn't what it's about. Running nitro is a completely different experience. It's a blast and is actually more fun when it comes down to it. More realistic, longer races, and takes more driver skill.

Plus the gears for the bell housing screwed on so you were limited in changing gears(or not at all in this case since there was only 1 gear made for that motor). But now that its a bigger chassis there might be more room for a .21 or larger on there if someone wanted more options but the TEN-T and 810 chassis's are smaller so there was no room. Plus at $30/gal a 20% nitro its kinda expensive for a broke ass like myself when i have $70 into 2 batteries and been running for a year plus

All the diffs come stock with grease.
