the body post mounts break, the a arms ar still suspect i.e. thin, the center driveshafts pins wear out quickly... I could continue, but i dont want t badmouth a decent truck, but the hypers day has come and gone, the new breed is out whether it is a losi, durango, or the associated, I would never go back to a slash ofr hyper or jammin.
The sc10 realy doesnt have a weakness per say, other than the a arms getting saggy, and the truck needing some tlc via tuning.
Thats weird man i never heard of any of that from others than own them .
Man i really dont want to spend more and get a losi Sc 4x4 i mind as well get a associated RC8b.2 e .
I dont buy used by the way i learned from that one before lol.

I just dont want you to buy somethingthat your gonna regret getting. I got rid of my hyper long ago. Ask Mantis how much faster his sc10 4x4 is than his hyper was

A buddy at the track was tired of braking parts on his Ofna Nexx10 4x4 and not having parts in stock except for Nitro House. But he ended up going the other route and picked up a Losi SCTE. I feel my SC10 4x4 is still faster.

TC5MAN please get out of this thread u dont have an sc10 4x4 and if ur not going to buy one we dont need u asking stupid questions on here , go and get ur hyper sc bump ed and clog up that thread with ur stupid ass questions ...........just saying !!!!!!
the sc10 4x4 is great right out of the box, with any truck they all have hopups and it is up to u if u want to add them or not , i added the swaybar's and thats it so far and i race it indoors and it handles pretty good , other guys may add of hopups but that is ur choice to do and whenever u buy ur so called hyper it comes with all the hopups so that u dont have to buy them , just saying ............................stop posting useless information on rctech .................just saying ..........

HAHA the Hyper is the WORST jumping truck on the planet bar none and it has to be driven loose in order to be fast. i have mega laps on mine and if you want to buy any parts i have a box full , in fact i will give you a smokin deal on a complete parts truck. The shocks are absolutely horrible and not hard coated so after about a mth your shock fluid will turn grey in a matter of two to three battery packs. i loved my hyper but unfortunately its outdated just like the Slash.... not bad talking the truck , it was great in its day.

with the SCTE your going to fight:
run time
low tolerance parts fit
driveline wears out
they are extremely hard on electronics especially ESC's
none of these issues exist with the SC10, they dont break
I won this weekend not because i beat the fastest losi but because i out strategized his ass, and he admitted it himself, he cannot go hard for ten full minutes. i pushed him the entire race, never letting him get more than 10sec in front of me when he bobbled i was on him like white on rice , even got in front of him once or twice. 9:45sec he dumped and i didnt.........I WIN!!! i would much rather straight up beat him but end result is i won the race.
i admit its hard to pass up a truck thats 80% built, decent priced and runs great BUT it is not made in america (dont care what they say, no adult in america is going to assemble and entire truck for that price!!!) so you basically have some 8yr old 3rd world kid assembling a toy with ill fitting parts!! if you think for 1 minute that you are going to be able not touch it or upgrade it your have been sadly mislead.
Now the hyper , all im going to say is you have wasted your time if you plan on being competitive with the higher ups in the food chain. if your group is not super fast and on that level than you will have good luck with it. fact is there are no hyper's or jammin's running competetively in the national circuits and there is a reason. Shocks are only 10mm, jumps bad and you cant get parts. once you have fixed those problems you still have to figure out how to make it jump and turn!! Sorry my friend but the 230.00 you have just spent is not going to get you very far. i promise i can get a stock SC10 to run circles around a hyper all day long!!

Question
Has anyone else noticed that when the rear diff throws all of the grease out of it it really gets loose and starts to spin out easily?
I was able to run some very fast laptimes Sat. until the diff got really free spinning................
