So you guys ARE recommending that I keep and race my SC10 4x4. All I need to do is get the hop-ups and go for it. Driver skills matter more. OK. My truck started out as the initial kit and I have a number of upgrades so far such as sway bars, aluminum hexs, RPM arms, 8mm mod and the FT upgrade kit. I am using two shorty packs with the stock chassis and the car is fairly balanced. I probably need to change springs, oil, and pistons to dial it in better. I could also use either the center diff OR add some more stators to the VTS slipper. Last time I ran the truck it was pretty good on 8th scale tracks with my Novak 4.5t 550 motor and Havoc Pro SC with a 14t pinion.

I know the Ryan's didn't race it at the Cactus Classic (the track wasn't that big really) but that could be because they were running everything else! Didn't Ryan Maifield win the WCRC event a few months ago? Dakotah is a fantastic driver and I will be racing with him most likely if he races 4x4 SCT in Michigan at all. He often doesn't race this class locally.

It is time, now that the SC10.2 2wd is out, for AE to deliver some improvements for this truck. It would be cheaper for me to upgrade what I have rather than jump to a new kit. I prefer Associated and love this class so please help me improve my truck. What should I consider for mine to be more competitive?
