If you already have a Kyosho Rt5 then get a Kyosho Sc truck.

I would put the Kyosho top tier regardless and if you already have a buggy get the SC. Its a light SC that jumps well for an SC.

Another vote for the K car. If I didn't already have my Blitz, I'd get it. I do have the DB. Feels light & nimble right out of the box. You won't be disapponted with the SC-R

Kyosho is fantastic, but the parts are expensive. If your hobby shop or track stocks kyosho parts it's a good choice. If not, the losi short course (XXX-SCT) handles great, and ha a lot of parts support, most of which are cheap. The SC10 FT is good also. I would go with the one that your lhs stocks the most parts for and the most people run at your track already. That way you can get good tips on setup from them. I personally love my Losi XXX-SCT.

Just to pose a question are you looking for a 2wd or a 4wd. I have both a slash 4x4 that is indestructable and an SC10. The slash handles much better than the 2wd. Not saying it's the best 4wd there are definitely better for racing but not for bashing.

Default best sc truck

Get an Associated SC8 e. Handles like a buggy, fast with the Castle mamba max pro 2200 kv and the thing is practically indestructible. Cheap too
Under 600 bucks rtr. You can bash this thing or race them.( my local track always has enough of them show up for 2 mains.

I'm a big fan of the Factory Team sc10! It's probably the best truck out IMO.
