Or should I just set it up rear motor with long pack for the novice?
Stock SCT is 17.5T in my neck of the woods. If you are racing on medium to high bite clay, I would configure the truck for MM and use the 3 gear transmission option from Kyosho. For the battery, I would use a regular shorty pack (~5000mah capacity) and position it all the way to the rear. ROAR minimum weight for 2wd SCT is 2099g.
You can find some setups for the SC6 on petitrc.com.
