I believe most of the claims the truck has issues are way over rated .


Lately ?
When ever I give my truck to someone to test drive ?

They end up with one the next week end...

We together have already made so many improvements the Sc10 drives rather well compared to the rest right now ..

It fun to race , drive & its bullet proof ...

Can you provide a link to this "Coming Soon" report?

I agree that AE will always develop improvements to all of their vehicles. I have been very pleased with the AE efforts on the 8th scale buggy. With 4x4 SCT motors reaching 8th scale power on 2S this classification really needs the same level of performance and tunability. I am not making my comments to bash the vehicle but to plead for more improvements. I do not plan to sell my SC10 4x4 just don't want to spend too much more money on it until I see something that convinces me to go there.

So I take it its now better than the world beating prolite you were touting not too long ago?

And the driver whose prowess with the prolite that got you to switch to it, what is he running now?

As for your comments about the issues reported being overrated, considering the main issues are the ones on conditions you don't race on, I can see you thinking that.

But doing the whole head in the sand thing on issues really doesn't help the vehicle WC. Its why AE on there factory team relized there was benefit to making a 3 pad slipper that aftermarket had been prior, as well as a chassis brace, etc. out of the box. Sure, they could have said it was overblown and just left it as is, but, they decided to look at the known issues head on and fix what they did at the time, and hopefully, they continue that trend.

Anybody try to lower the body a extra notch
then what you can do stock ?

This is my next project .....

I am really hoping that AE does keep pressing on this vehicle class. No matter how you look at it, there are too few chassis on the market that are capable of National level competition which is what I, as a consumer hobbiest, want. Even if you consider the SC10 4x4 competitive there is only the Losi, Durango, Tekno and I would even say the new Slash 4x4 is creaping up into the fight. Tekno is the new kid on the block with a very well thought out design. Both Losi and Durango and even Traxxas have upgraded their chassis a lot. The OFNA models are almost fully dropped. Krio created the Caster based Rapture now that could become a new challenger. So.....

It's time for something from Associated!

I will hold out a while longer. I am nearly 100% Associated now with only and old Traxxas Mini-Slash and a Jammin SCRT10 that I chopped down to fit the 4wd Buggy class for fun. I jumped into the 4x4 SCT class when the Jammin SCRT10 came out and got that competitive until the Losi conversions (TenT) started to show up. I order the SC10 4x4 on the day of release. So I am rooting for AE all the way.

There are many handleing benifits from lowering the body as much as possible but then the tires start to rub and wear quickly. I'm only running proline flowtek bodies that give you a lot more tire clearance over a stock body. If you limit the up travel of your shocks to keep it from rubbing so much it works good.

Don't we all do that? I know I do.

fully agree.

Great companies do the same-thing as well.

Called having fun ....

Been thinking


First grind the mount on towers to move the mount down .

Then use a heat gun & a spoon to push out the fender wells to gain extra clearance for the wheels & towers .

Think just one hole down can make a improvement over the other trucks .

Looks like that new TLR Hi Flow body provides alot more tire clearance, and the roof line is alot lower. Almost ordered one and put in on my truck.

BTW, has anyone tried the new "Contender" body? how does it handle etc, compared to a JC Hi Flow?

Thanks, Krom.

Any of you on VRC pro? I've found that driving and tuning the sc10 4x4 in the game has had real effects improving my indoor track driving considerably. I think its because when I'm playing the game I'm thinking about the fastest lines while I'm not at the track. It's kinda spendy at first but still cheap compared to real RC. In between work and home life its nice to be able to fire it up and run a battery or two. Check it out!

Better practice on some old bodies first. I like where your going with this.
