I used to race the original release of the SCT410 as well as the.3 version up until a couple years ago when the 1/10 program died off in my area. My biggest gripe was cooking my 2S electronics due to the excessive weight:

I would eventually convert to 4S with a 3660-1800KV motor to solve my issues and would actually complete a 20 min main mixed with nitros:

I am very happy to see a reasonably durable 1/10 based platform that can truly support 2S and still be competitive, if the class comes back locally, I just might re-join it again with the SL


I'm also considering a conversion of a PR mini truggy to SCT which is a considerably more durable (and equally competitive) platform based on my experience with both brands.
