I'd say this is more fun than just hitting balls with cranky old dudes. (my apologies if you are one):lol:

LOL if you think the MIP kit is just eye candy, you definitely have never driven an SCTE with that kit, and have questionable taste in what looks good. The MIP kit reduces weight, moves what's left lower and to the rear for ~50/50 weight distribution, and includes shock pistons that you can tune compression separately from rebound. It even moves the center diff rearward, so you run the front driveshaft in the rear, and vice-versa. Personally I think the white chassis looks ugly, but it's worth it for the performance gain.

One good side-effect...it makes you not want to wreck ever, because when you put it on it's lid, it's like...hey look at me, my chassis is bright white and I'm upside-down!

Nope, but I have driven mine and its awesome! I wouldn't trust a carbon chassis personally! But I run both inside and outside... I just don't truct carbon that much! But I must be a weirdo 'cause I still use bladders in my shocks! :lol:

Oops my bad, I got the MIP kit confused with the carbon fiber chassis kit... But I just spent $100 on a BCE chassis so I am good for a while!

I tried Golf. It takes a lot of balls to play golf like I do. Those little f@#$rs are easy too loose when your swing is like mine :p

One guy at our track made the plunge with the eb48, i plan to do the same next season. Wondering if it's worth it to put more money into my scte or if i should get this? Really like the idea of blazing a trail at my track and going full tekno.

Going full Tekno...I got your back.

+1 if you plan racing and got a SCTE now I would sell it and have two tekno basis, it's just more convenient. I'm just wondering how expensive the SCT410 will be.

I dont care if its as much as an EB48. I have put at least three SC10 4x4 worth of parts and upgrades into my truck and just now have it feeling like it should, the Tekno truck will be dialed from the start.

People know 400 to 500$ is what you need to have a high end 1/8 buggy but SCT is cheaper generally so a high price tag wouldn't help even if the SCT410 is worth it. I don't see many differences between a 1/8 buggy and a 1/10 4wd SCT anymore except for the looks so I begin to doubt about the future of this category in Europe. 1/8 will stay for sure but we don't have a SCT racing culture here, so if both are too close I'm almost sure the SCT scene will stay small because most drivers will choose to stay in 1/8 and running these two classes would be just too expensive. I see the point of a 2wd SCT because it's different from all other cars but 4x4 SCT are basically becoming 1/8 buggies with a big body on them. But it should work in the USA

Easy Kuya! Shouldn't you be getting some zzzzz's at this time?

I guess I am curious to see what could happen to 1/8 buggy in its current form if people start running them in say a 4x4 SCB style configuration to keep the electronics the same as the 4x4 SCTs.
