Default Which sc truck?

I am going to buy my first sc truck and I can't decide between used blitz ese,losi xxx-sct and kyosho ultima sc-r.I need truck for bashing and racing but it need to be very durable becasue it is more for bashing than for racing.I was also thinking about sc10 but my lhs doesn't have its parts.


thanks for help

If it is mainly used for bashing then I personally would go with the regular blitz... (with a few mods it is a great racer as well but also very durable).

Out of the trucks you mentioned, the Losi would be your best bet IMO.

I love my blitz. Been thru at least 5 races and a handful of qualifiers and I haven't broken a thing. Upgrade your shocks and get the hpi steering rack and the blitz can compete with the best of them.

Get the losi xxx-sct for sure. Handles the bet out of the box, but is still durable, unlike the Kyosho. Even the Blitz ESE needs quite a handful of upgrades to even compete, and itsn't as durable as the losi.

Best beater out there hands down is the Traxxas Slash real race trucks
have no business bashing off a track. Race trucks are for race tracks and
should be used as bashers at your own risk...

Enjoy"

What do you think,is sc10 worth of buying its parts from ebay because my lhs doesn't have part for it?

Just from what I've seen, the SC10 isn't the best basher and it isn't the best racing truck for a beginner. It can be made very fast but takes someone with experience setting up a truck. It just seems to be a bit more sensitive to setup changes and different tracks require different setups.

For bashing, hard to beat a slash, but at least at every track I've been to they are not competitive on the race track. Blitz or XXX-sct are what I would recommend. Do NOT buy the blitz ESE though. That white plastic breaks if you look at it wrong.

I'd recommend the Traxxas Slash for most durable for on-off track purposes. I personally like my Kyosho Ultima SC-R for racing and haven't broken a thing.They are all great platform for both bashing and racing, so I don't think you can go wrong with any of them.

To build the diff you will need Team Associated's Black Grease as well as Team Associated's Diff Lube...if you need any info on building or breaking in your diff let me know...
