I don't hate the SC10 4x4, but setting it up I could get it good for part of the track, and it would suck for the rest, or the other parts of the track and have to go slower thru the sweepers etc, the truck was probably faster than my new Losi, but you could not really tie a hole race together, lap after lap.

I used all the gear out of my SC10 in the Losi, rims tires, motor, ESC servo, the lot. First race it was just planted, you could push it really hard, it just flew thru the sweepers and the infield, turns great, and very very easy to drive, lap after lap, I pushed the leader in two heats, and after using the drives as practice I cleared out in the last, winning by almost a lap, had real fun.

Not hating on the SC10, but for the track " I " race on, and the way " I " drive, the Losi is better. My SC10 2wd rocks, love it and always place up the sharp end with it.

I know these toys are for fun, but if you come second your the first loser.
If you were still willing to try the AE SC10 4x4, would like to see how it goes for you using the M2C blocks. Part of me thinks that the vehicle can benefit from more rear toe in slick conditions. Or, in general if you find you want to be able to push it harder without the rear stepping out.

I'll get more testing in with it this coming weekend it looks like. It will be on this track:

at the very end of this video, you can see the track conditions very clearly. Racing starts at about 3:20 mark. Down the straights you can darn near do a full 360 as it can get so slick.I can go from wet and sticky to dry, dusty and very loose in a couple of heats.
