I need an SC truck that uses the SC10 Wheel offset, reason being I'm waiting on the Caster SC 4x4 a bit later this year so I am in need of a truck to last til then, SC4x4 is rather popular here.
I really like the original SC10 4x4 because it has the stick pack configuration, I will be running a Castle SV2 style controller and a 1410 motor.
I heard the steering rack is weak on the orginal truck and hear saddle packs are better, is it that much of a difference?
The FT truck and the OG kit come w/ stick pack parts, the Ft has the saddle parts as well, from what I've heard.
No problems w/ the stock steering rack, I've been beating on mine for over a year up at Fastlane and other places and haven't broke a single part.
The saddle packs, IMO, arent' really necessary. I've got 5oz., about the same weight the exotek chasiss weighs, on the rx/esc side of the truck, balances it side/side perfectly....
