i personally wouldn't spent that much money on the truck. I switched to a RC8b conversion 1 Week ago and it drives MUCH bettter. The shocks are... a dream... it doesn't bottom out as much as the sc10 did, and still the shocks are soft enough to have traction (and i think there half full with air because i didn't have time to rebuild them xD) Also it has much more grip with the same tires and drives more consistent. The only drawback is, that it's sooooo heavy. I could drive 15min easily with my cheapest 5.6Ah batteries in the sc10 4x4 (even with steel-plates mounted under the chassis), and now im lucky with 10mins (which is a problem because we have 15min mains!). But i think that's just my setup. Another guy at my track makes 15min easily with 5Ah, maybe it's the 250g less weight, maybe better batteries, maybe better motor.
