overall, i think this truck is a nice step forward. i loved my SCTE for the time i had it. ultimately i fell victim to the "perfect setup syndrome" and the truck was running like crap and at that point, the trucks design flaws became an annoyance (leaky diffs, on my 5th or 6th front center driveshaft, etc.). i didn't race 4x4SC for a while because of it even though it's always been my favorite class. ultimately, i wanted to get back into the class, but wanted something different. with no official word from losi on a 2.0, i was forced to look at what else was out there. honestly i don't know if i would have chosen the 2.0 had i known that it was coming out and what it was, but it would have at least made my decision harder.

i think we're getting into the realm of "can't go wrong with either". i think they'll both be great trucks.
