It all comes down to local support! What does your local shop have parts for? I do not run AE at all but the FTSC10 is most likely your best bet. Great on the track(almost all of them are though), and I would be very surprised if your local shop doesnt carry parts.

Dude, I studied this exact thought before I bought the AE SC-10 (FT). I could not be happier with my decision. This model has brought me multiple A main wins and I have only had it for about four or five weeks. It is very durable and easy to tune. I just got back into R/C after taking 17 years off of a 10 year career in which I had obtained multiple sponsers, including Losi, R&R and the world champion(of the time), Cam motors... Kyosho and Losi trucks also work well at my local track, but at this point I am sure glad I got this truck!

Yup Associated, Losi or Kyosho, can't go wrong with any of them IMHO.

Exactly, any of them can win at any track. I would get what is popular in your area. Local support is great for any new racer.

Default #1 SC10...#2 XXXSCT

I have personally owned a Slash, Blitz and SC10.......hands down the SC10 was the best for me.

The Slash was fun but horrible on the track........The Blitz was durable, easy to drive but turned horrible..I had to pretty much replace the whole front end to keep up in the tight sections.

The SC10 turns great...a little touchy but if you turn "IT TURNS"...so think abot your track and driving style

I have driven the XXXSCT and it was nice as well...turns better than a Blitz but not a sensitive to input as the SC10

I would go between the XXXSCT or SC10 giving you a nudge towards the SC10....whichever would be easiest for you to get parts quickly would be best.

Kinda funny last year I was running all HPI.....this year it seems I am 100% AE....the RC10T4 and SC10 just really fit my driving style. The Blitz and E-firestorm went up for sale.

+1 any of the top brands would be great and can win on the track at the highest levels of competition. I'd check into which one you prefer, local parts and setup support is available. Good luck and have fun with your new SCT!
