I race at the same track as Macracing does and run an sc10 in the prolites class. Our track is geared more towards the 1/8th scale buggies. Big triples, table tops, step ups, and a huge double on to the front straight. We have been constantly tweaking our setups to get these things to handle better on our track. Just when we think we have it right, and it will walk away from the slashes, the top slashes show up with 1/8th scale buggy tires and the fight is on.

Granted a slash running goosebumps can not keep up with am SC10 running goosebumps given equal talent in the drivers. But if you put a slash on 1/8th scale tires, the SC10 will struggle to keep up. Driving talent being equal, all the mods listed in this forum, GT2 arms, Losi hubs, shocks, and such will only allow you to keep up with a slash on buggy tires and just barely. MacRacing and I like the scale look of the SC10, & SC8, but when it comes to racing we have to play the game of keeping up with the crowd. It is racing after all.

Hopefully in the future the rules will be more standard in the class and perhaps put some limitations on what gear you can run in a the mod trucks. I am not against keeping the cool scale look, but I am being pushed to run what the big dogs do to keep them in sight and out of their dust.
