Thanks for the many answers! I want a truck that would be competitive and has lots of parts availability and the sc10 is $199 and my Lhs has plenty of ae parts. I don't mind starting out with a brushed motor, and I can always upgrade. I don't know about the slash and its a little but more $. Is the slash race worthy? I've read many things saying slash for bashing sc10 for racing. Is it a better racing truck than the sc10? Sorry just so many questions
