I was just very disappointed it worked out this way to not receive the version I was told to expect. I was counting on getting the new version to test out, then if as expected then purchase for the other 2 of our SCTE's. I have 3 SCTE's, my bumper broke from being rear ended and one other did a tail slam on a jump, the 3rd one is going fine so far, my oldest boy is a great driver and lucky so far on a few near misses. Not having a rear bumper that can handle traffic or jumps for us "challenged drivers" just opens up the rest of the truck to possible damage. I have reconstructed the 2 broke rear bumpers from other RC rear bumpers and it is hold up so far...

We race at 2 different tracks, the Indoor clay there are 6 SCTE's that run and all the bumpers are fine so far, the other is the outdoor clay track and the rear bumpers do not fair so well.


Thanks on a great SCT, it has been a joy for all of us to own and drive, finally proud when someone asks what type of SCT is that, it is sometimes hard to say Losi and smile at the same time.

Thanks again.

I see on Horizons website the SCTE will be in stock end of April, I called and spoke to someone and they couldn't confirm this. Do you guys have any "inside" info on this being fact or not and can I assume they will be equiped w/new pins.

Thank you gentlemen,
Jeff

Good news is I found one local...well sorta local. 150miles away. Leaving tomm to snag it.

I need to ask this again I'm sure. I apologize. Hobby shop has one Mamba max pro sct(2400kv) system in stock. Would this be a good choice and what extra pinion/spurs should I pick up. Being that it's a long drive, I want to get everything while I am there.
What about just running the Traxxas brushless system until I decide on motor/esc. Would this combo be OK temp. for racing?

the waiting game is upsetting. I guess this gives me time to touch the ASC 4x4.

Can that system run 3s also? Do most race events limit SC trucks to 2s? Is it a ROAR rule?

my local track doesnt really have any limits, 3s is faster, but not as easy to control.

oh and you can run 4s with that combo, the mmp will do 6s
